They brought in Herve Renard.

They're going to be taking on Japan.

Sweden up against the Netherlands.

Frida was saying they've got great players going forward.

One or two issues at the back.

What do you think about the game against the Netherlands?

I guess we'll see those games coming up on Saturday, as are the ones in Group E, which features Germany, Ivory Coast, Ecuador, which rhymes with Barn Door, ironically enough, and they are facing Curacao.

That game's occurring in Kansas City.

Duncan?

Ah, yeah, Sebastian Beccacci.

Well, Ecuador have been on a terrific run and were touted by many as dark horses and were perhaps a little bit unlucky to lose their opening game.

Right, if they cross paths, being in different groups and that.

Group E, the other match on Saturday, Germany against Ivory Coast, both of whom won their opening games.

Ivory Coast just 1-0 against Ecuador, right at the death.

But Germany, as mentioned, 7-1 winners against Curacao.

Duncan, you were saying after that game that you thought Germany had...

Possibly it was Tom.

It was you.

You've thought that for all the magnitude of the scoreline, that there were defensive issues there.

And I guess Ivory Coast, the kind of players they're going to be bringing to the party, could exploit that.
