Sven the elephants run riot : N. Korea 0-3 Ivory Coast l

Elephants set off on a stampede
Mighty force of a burr drill
Deafening rampage in Nelspruit
Whipping North Korea three to nil

In their final Group G match
Ivorians needed a massive win
If Brazil beat Ronaldo and co
Last sixteen they’d be in

Arthur Boka with a low centre
Toure Yaya with a graceful touch
Deftly beating Ri Yong Guk
Sven’s crew released the clutch

Drogba rattled the crossbar
N'Dri scored from the bouncing bullet
Kalou wrapped up with a third
Portugal through with a draw to forget
