19:21: I've been trying to work out which Premier League player can claim to have made a decent start to this tournament. As Brazil's star man in the first match, Robinho probably takes the laurels on that one, even though he's been out on loan at Santos since January.
19:17: Brazil were curiously subdued in their opening match against North Korea, and the way things are going in this tournament, who can say that they won't run into another shock tonight? No changes from Dunga by the way.
19:14: I'm pretty happy to have drawn Brazil tonight - all those one-word names are a lot easier to type than the South Koreans I had to report on last week. That was definitely cut-and-paste territory.
19:07: Didier Drogba is fit enough to start. Well, Sven has chosen to play him anyway. On BBC1, Alan Shearer has suggested that he was "carrying" the arm through the 15 minutes he played against Portugal. And as Gary Lineker replies, with a hint of the layman about him, "broken arms don't heal that quickly, do they?"
19:02: And wouldn't it just top it all off if Sven could sneak the Ivory Coast through the Group of Death? They've already claimed a valuable - if unwatchable - draw against Portugal; today it's the small matter of Brazil at Soccer City.
19:00: Well, what must our old friend Sven be thinking now? I bet he's shaking with suppressed laughter as he watches Fabio go through trial-by-606 - the obligatory fate of every modern football manager.
