Gary Lineker presents coverage as five-time World Cup winners Brazil face the Ivory Coast in a highly anticipated clash in Group G.

Brazil are coached by Dunga, who won the World Cup as a player in 1994, and he has instilled a steely streak in a side normally renowned for their attacking flair. Former Arsenal midfielder Gilberto Silva anchors the midfield, allowing the likes of Robinho and Kaka to rampage forward.

The Ivory Coast are appearing in only their second World Cup finals but, as at their debut in Germany in 2006, they have again been drawn in the so-called Group of Death. Led by Sven-Goran Eriksson, their side contains a host of Premier League stars like Salomon Kalou and Kolo Toure.
