THE BIG PICTURE
This game may not mean anything, but the sight of an accomplished athlete playing for pride with no hope of advancement or glory can be one of the most stirring in all of sports. Or maybe both teams will kind of give up and there will be a lot of goals or something. Ivory Coast will be without captain Didier Drogba after he picked up yellow cards in the previous two group games. Mateja Kezman and Ognjen Koroman are suspended for the Serbs.
