Kolo bows out in victory

Kolo Touré's Ivory Coast were eliminated from the World Cup this afternoon, finishing third in Group G despite being North Korea in their final game. Kolo played, as did his brother and MCFC target Yaya Touré. Yaya scored his team's first goal, with a very deft side-foot finish from the edge of the box. But with Portugal drawing 0-0 with a Brazilian side lacking the imagination of Robinho and Elano, Ivory Coast were sent home.

With Yaya Touré out of the World Cup, I think we might see him at MCFC some time next week.
