Ivory Coast are World Cup participants once again and they’ve made it through to the knock-out stages after wins over Ecuador and Curacao.
A last-gasp 1-0 win over Ecuador in their opening game put les Elephants in a strong position, despite a dramatic defeat to Germany in Toronto in their second outing of the tournament.

Ivory Coast were part of a large group of nations with long odds of winning the World Cup. They stood at 300/1 before a ball was kicked, giving an implied probability of 0.33%.
