米国赴任59週目が終了。
2014 FIFA ワールドカップの日本ーコートジボアール戦をESPNで見ました。逆転負けは非常に残念な結果でした。グループリーグを勝ち抜くことは果たしてできるのでしょうか。
さて、コートジボアールは以前は象牙海岸共和国と日本では呼ばれていましたが、同国政府の要請によりフランス語国名（République de Côte d'Ivoire）であるコートジボアールを使うようになっています。
しかし、英語ではあいかわらずIvory Coastと呼ばれています。
日本語のwikipediaではRepublic of Côte d'Ivoireが英語の正式名称とありますが、英語のwikipediaではRepublic of Ivory Coastが正式名称とあるように、食い違っています。
次戦のギリシャ戦に期待です。
