DIDIER DROGBA AND COTE D'IVOIRE |
|
|
 Drogba is a Côte d'Ivoire international and
helped the team qualify for its first ever World Cup Finals, to
be held in Germany in 2006. In February 2005 he was voted runner-up
to Samuel Eto'o in the African Footballer of the Year awards.
In February 2006, Drogba captained Côte d'Ivoire to their second
African Cup of Nations final, scoring the only goal in their
semi-final match with Nigeria and putting away the deciding
spot-kick in their record-equalling 12-11 penalty shootout
quarter-final win over Cameroon. However, they lost in the final
to Egypt 4-2 on penalties after a 0-0 draw, with Drogba missing
a penalty in the shoot-out.
