Ivory Coast coach Henri Michel believes the match against Holland will make or break his team's tournament.

The African side impressed in their opening 2-1 defeat to Argentina, and with Holland at times struggling in their 1-0 win against Serbia & Montenegro, Michel reckons Group C is still wide open.

He told www.fifci.com: "This is a championship based on three matches.

"It may be enough if we can up our game and get a good result against the Netherlands.

"This is what we will try to do."
