 - Curacao's stunning 0-0 draw against Ecuador kept their hopes to advance alive. Their defensive resilience makes them a dangerous underdog and goalkeeper Eloy Room has been outstanding, including a record 15-save performance last time out.
 - For Ivory Coast, the stakes are simple: avoid defeat and they’re through to the knockout round. A draw is enough, but with knockout seeding potentially at play, expect them to push for all three points.

Free Pick for World Cup Day 15

The Thursday World Cup play is on Ivory Coast -2 goals at 4 Eastern. Ivory Coast likely bags the three points here in a multiple goal win. Ivory held a late lead on Germany before losing the lead in an eventual 2-1 loss. So now they need a win or draw to advance to the Knockout stage. Enter Curacao, who needs all types of help after getting wiped out 7-1 by Germany in the opening game. They secured a draw with Ecuador mainly due to an exceptional performance by their goalie who had to make 15 saves. Ivory Coast will likely get multiple goals here as their is a wide gulf in talent and as Germany has seen, The Coast is difficult to break down. This game has 3/nil or 4-0 written all over it. GL!  RV

The Pick: Play on Ivory Coast -2 goals.
