Liverpool defender Kolo Toure says Ivory Coast are ready to take on the world this month.
As the Ivorians prepare for their Group C opener against Japan the 33-year-old is targeting more than just mere participation in the football festival.
"Just going further than we've ever done before will be a triumph in itself," Toure, who joined the Reds last summer, explained to FIFA.com.
"I'm not setting any limits on what we can achieve. Why can't we spring a surprise and make it to the final? We've got the ability to do just that."
The versatile defender continued: "This is our last chance to shine at this level. I'm 33 and we're closer to the end of our careers than the start.
"We're going to enjoy this World Cup and show a different side to ourselves than we did the last two times, when we didn't really perform that well. We'll be doing what we can to be better."
