Notes
  1. The Ivory Coast qualified for the final, but Cissé did not run with the team in the final.
gollark: No, sleepsort is better.
gollark: As a Haskell programmer, surely you've heard of "if it compiles, it runs" and this is even BETTER than that.
gollark: Why?
gollark: Was my program compiling with NO WARNINGS not sufficient evidence for you?
gollark: <@319753218592866315> I am GOOD at quicksort.
