06/19/2010 - Johannesburg, South Africa (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The schedule gets no easier for the Ivory Coast as it gets ready to face Brazil in its second Group G match at Soccer City on Sunday in the FIFA World Cup.
A 0-0 draw against Portugal in the opening game has left the Ivorians with one point, while Brazil survived a surprisingly tough match with North Korea to win 2-1, leaving it on top of the group.
"Every team has to play efficiently, in attack and in defense," said Brazil manager Dunga. "Overall we played well, especially in the second half, because in the first half we didn't get our game together and didn't manage to pass the ball quickly."
Brazil's first-half performance was less than impressive, but it did enough in the second half to win and can now take control of the group with another victory on Sunday.
There were few chances for either side in the Ivory Coast's game with Portugal, but manager Sven-Goran Eriksson believes that his Ivory Coast team played well enough to take all three points.
"It was a very tense match, but honestly I think that if one team was going to win it, it should have been us as we had more chances," said Eriksson. "I'm satisfied with our performance, our discipline and our organization throughout the 90 minutes. I would have preferred to take three points, but Portugal are a great team and holding them to a draw is satisfying in itself."
Much of the focus leading up to the opening game was on star striker Didier Drogba, whose status was uncertain because of a broken arm suffered on June 4.
"As for Drogba, he told me that he'd prefer to stay on the bench, but that if I needed him I could count on him," Eriksson said. "That's exactly what I did."
Drogba didn't start the game but he entered it in the 66th minute, although his impact was minimal.
It has yet to be determined how much Drogba will play against Brazil, but if the African side wants to take anything from this game, they need to be better in attack.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
