FIFA World Cup Betting: If you either don't have a team to root for or are looking to jump on board with the fan favorites of this tournament, Ivory Coast may be the team that you want to make your World Cup picks on this year. Les Elephants have an exciting squad that may not ultimately produce results, but will certainly be worth the price of admission.

This is one of the more dominating sides that Africa has to offer, and it should come as no surprise that Ivory Coast swept through qualifying for the World Cup without any issues. Les Elephants knew that they needed to come through in a strong way to build moment for this World Cup, and with a goal differential of 29-6 in 12 matches, the point was certainly made.

F Didier Drogba may have only played in five of those 12 matches in qualifying, but there is no doubt that he was the man of the hour in his homeland. Drogba netted six goals in those five matches, which equals the total of every other team against Ivory Coast in qualifying. Drogba is a national hero, having scored 43 goals in 66 appearances for Les Elephants.

The only thing that Ivory Coast has going against it is the fact that its group is just a nightmare to play in. Facing Brazil and Portugal in the first two games is a harder road than anyone else has to deal with in the tournament. Still, Les Elephants are a narrow third choice in Group G at +375 on the World Cup odds, and they are +3300 to win it all in World Cup betting action.
