Kolo Toure insists the Ivory Coast have nothing left to prove at this summer's World Cup - other than being able to win.
The Elephants were hugely impressive in their opening encounter with Argentina on Saturday with only a lack of finesse in front of goal preventing them grabbing a draw against a side many predict will be contesting the final in Berlin on July 9.
As World Cup debuts go, it was certainly a performance to savour from the Africans.
And, while Friday's clash with the buoyant Netherlands and a final Group C encounter against the defensively-solid Serbia and Montenegro does not inspire too much confidence the Ivorians can reach the knock-out phase, Toure is optimistic.
'We have proved we can play well, now we have to prove we can win as well,' said the Arsenal centre-half. 'We have everything else, as our performance against Argentina proved.'
