Around the world in 80 words: The 2010 World Cup makes way for Didier Drogba and his supporting cast

Goal.com UK’s daily global news round-up

15 Jun 2010 12:44:00

More On :  Brazil, England, Germany, Italy, Ivory Coast, Japan, Mexico, Yaya Touré , Emmanuel Adebayor, Klaas Jan Huntelaar, Didier Drogba
Win, lose or draw — Monday's games were all a bit of a bore. Fortunately Drogba and his supporting cast — which includes wanted man Yaya Toure — should make Tuesday a different story. England are already getting worried about facing Germany — or are they? — but Mexico and Japan just want to march on. Elsewhere, Brazil should be chirpy after Ronaldo's tweets, Adebayor gets a call on live TV, and Chelsea fail to do the maths as Spurs look to acquire some Klaas.
