Not Anymore...Ivory Coast vs. Holland
It was possible that 2 brothers, Salomon and Bonaventura Kalou could have played each other in this World Cup. Bonaventura is currently the captain of the African Nation Ivory Coast while brother Salomon is playing for 3rd place Feyenoord in the Dutch League. He hasn't been in the country for the required 5 years, and the Minister of Immigration, Rita Verdonk has ruled that a special article of law did not apply to him. I guess she doesn't like Voetbal that much. That's all I'm going to say about it, but if you really want to know the truth, they should have let history be made, and listened to Johan Cruyff! Actually, just before, I read an article on Soccernet that it was still possible. Check out the link for the latest update.
