Laivasse Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Ivory Coast look decent in attack and wonky in defence when Japan counter. I'd definitely expect more goals if the 2nd half carries on like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Good goal. Why the **** are bbc calling Ivory Coast by the French name? They are British broadcasters call them by the British name... It's not even hosted in a French speaking nation I don't know, why do we say "double entendre" instead of "two-meaning word", for instance? It's English, we English speakers love to borrow from French. CIV-JPN has been a cracking match so far by the way, very entertaining this is shaping up to be some World Cup! Sorry disagree. Yes for certain words we utilise the French meaning as you rightly pointed out. But for something like Ivory Coast they should say Ivory Coast. They just sound ridiculous saying otherwise Yes, especially when they don't say 'Nippon' for Japan. Either use the English name for both or the local name for both.

flamingsombrero Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I'm not sure what the Japan/Ivory Coast fans are doing but I've got the surround sound on and its making me feel quite ill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I posted the reason why it's the French name on the previous page. It's not Nippon in English cos the Japanese don't request the usage of the native name in other languages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Commentator just said that FIFA has requested that they be called Cote d'Ivoire and not Ivory Coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their requested name is actually 1000% ELEPHANTS, but due to copyrighting they aren't allowed to use that in FIFA tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laivasse Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Looked like a pen to me. Missed the ball and hit Toure's trailing leg, but because he tried to stay up it looked like he just miscontrolled. Should have tried 'clever play', I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
