19. Ivory Coast
Ivory Coast showed its seniority in this tournament with a narrow escape of Japan and poor outings against Columbia and Greece. They did well passing the ball around and keeping possession, but their high shot conversion rate couldn’t get them any more goals that they needed. Their average defense couldn’t get them in the round of 16 either.
