It's the Gab and Jewel show presented by Gusto.

I'm Gab, he's Jules.

No idea about the weather in London because we're here in New York

where we've got bright sunshine and intermittent clouds.

But Jules, what a show we have so much going on.

Things are starting to get delineated a little bit for the knockouts.

And we're going to start, though, not with Brazil's comeback, not with Holland,

but we will troll you about the Dutch guy in a minute.

But let's start with Germany.

Because Germany, Ivory Coast, I told you, I was so impressed with Ivory Coast in their opening game against Ecuador.

And they nearly put one over in Germany.

Yeah, it was cruel. I was there in Toronto on Saturday night.

Where I thought Ivory Coast for an hour were the better team, even if Germany had more possession, even Germany chances of course they were always going to but I thought this quite young Ivoian team to be fair with a young coach as well just managed the game pretty well took the leads thanks to Frank Casier once again on a cross by Jormandé and a lot of the things that they did with the ball and without the ball was just very good.

In the end, Germany came back, and I think the draw was probably be a fair result, even if Avery Coast had chances to win it, and obviously in the end, Germany won it thanks to a super sub-Denis Undav. But overall, I thought it was, despite the defeat, a very encouraging display again from Ivory Coast. So I I will get to Germany in a minute, Manchaf fans, but what strikes me about the Skotivois team is Emmer Sve has been criticized for saying, oh look, they're less than the sum of their parts,

you've got so much talent.

He's a bold man. He made five changes from the opening game. He inserted blanking on his name now, but into midfield.

Now, what? Exactly. He put Amadialo on the right wing. And of course, my man, Anjo, I'm Boni, up front in place of a guy like Nicola PPP, who is one of the leaders of this team.

Some changes at the back, but that was from injury with Koso No coming back.

I was kind of wondering, like, you're making a statement here that you want to do this

and you're sending a message to your team that we really want to take the game to Germany.

Yeah, I think so, and I think he also shows the ambitions for this team. I mean, I wrote in my piece on the website on the ESPN website that I think you could see a lot of similarities between this Ivory Coast team and the one in Morocco four years ago that went so far. I asked five the question yesterday and he said like, you know, this is the ambition we have is we believe we can do something similar. He didn't say they would go to the, you know, to the semifinal base. He said like we are, we are a really good team and I think they showed that. They showed a lot of those signs of being a good team and in the end they lost in the 94th minute to a really classy goal from Wundav where maybe they're a little bit naive and again it's a young team but I thought overall it was very very encouraging again yeah I the Morocco analogy

I think in terms of results probably more so than in terms of style compared to 2022 because I
