Ivory Coast 2-1 Japan - Five Things We Learnt

#1 2014 is the Year of Saffron

Its been all shades of saffron this year

This might finally be the year of the Orange. After Defending champions Spain got the thrashing of a lifetime from “the Oranje“ force of Netherlands (although they were wearing white), now Ivory Coast(wearing another shade of the colour) won their third match in World Cup finals.

The Dutch made a similar, albeit a more spectacular comeback as they took the defending champion for a ride, pumping 5 past the disastrous Casilas. Meanwhile, Ivory Coast were not too shabby either as it was only the second time that the Elephants have come back from a goal down.

Something tells me it’s the colour Saffron that did the trick. You just can’t fight fate, can you?
