Almost a fumble on the pitch.
Hey, now!
A pile of instant diamonds were made from the collective butt clenching in Norway.
I thought Norway really made it hard for themselves. It’s a cliche but it really did seem as if Ivory Coast wanted it more.

Côte d'Ivoire
FIFA decides, but whatever. I doubt I’ll ever mention Ivory Coast outside a World Cup thread on this board. The Country Name Police surely have bigger fish to fry and as a result won’t be breaking in my door in the dead of night. Anyone here want to shake a finger in my face over this, knock yourself out.
French spelling of the country’s name. Used to be a colony. Still speak French there.FIFA decides, but whatever. I doubt I’ll ever mention Ivory Coast outside a World Cup thread on this board.

Yeah I do respect that. I was just being a smartazz, just for kicks.
What was that call at the end of the half? Elanga didn't look offside. Did they show the automated review?
Just fyi, if you like chocolate, the majority of cocoa beans come from there.FIFA decides, but whatever. I doubt I’ll ever mention Ivory Coast outside a World Cup thread on this board.

France sure looks like the best team...with arguably the best player
Svennson was offside on the pass from Elanga before he passed it back to him.

I would never shake a finger in your face for fear that I might inadvertently tell you to do something with an Irish potato.
They are definitely the most talented. When they turn it on, they can be unstoppable.
But soccer is one of those games where a singular talent (e.g. Messi) can take over with just a moment or 2 of magic. Argentina has an absolute cake walk to the semis - we could very well see a rematch in the final.
as an aside, I watched the 2022 final recently. Argentina’s tenacity and togetherness was astounding. They hunted the ball all night - with all that effort almost undone by a few brilliant Mbappe moments. The fact that Argentina survived that brutal 2 goal gut punch late in the 2nd half speaks to their mentality.
Swedes get rolled by the Frenchmen. Fox saying France is the favorite to win it all.
By the way, speaking of Fox who is the dude who sounds like he is straight out of the Russian Mafia?

Ecuador with a weak clearing attempt, and Eli Tri pounce on the ball, and get the score.
