- Story Text: The Ivory Coast soccer squad was training in Vittel, southern France on Monday (May 29), ready for Tuesday's pre-World Cup friendly against Chile.
Ivory Coast drew 1-1 with Switzerland in a friendly on Sunday.
The Ivorians are drawn in the so-called World Cup Group of Death -- Group C -- against Argentina, Netherlands and Serbia & Montenegro.
The African Cup of Nations runners-up will first play Argentina in Hamburg on June 10, the day after the tournament opens. They meet the Netherlands in Stuttgart on June 16 and Serbia & Montenegro in Munich on June 21.
Ivory Coast lost the African Cup to Egypt 4-2 on penalties after a goalless draw in the final in Cairo in February. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
