    I just want to see the improv sessions between these two during their down time!

    Man, Elfath owes Aboubakar a big thank you for taking off his shirt - it's not often a ref goes viral for being the nice guy!

    It seems FIFA liked what they saw! Elfath back in the 1/8 final for Croatia vs Japan.

    True.
    Speaking the same language (French/English) no doubt helped with the Cameroon players also.

    Elfath speaks French? It never crossed my mind until now but I guess it would make sense.

    I was assuming it is a strong probability given his background.
    I played on a team with a Moroccan teammate many years ago and he was fluently trilingual (Arabic/French/English) and also did well in Spanish.
