​By reaching the World Cup semi-finals for the third consecutive time, France matches a feat previously achieved only by Brazil (from 1994 to 2002) and Germany (from 1982 to 1990 and again from 2002 to 2014). They have been compared on goals, assists, playing style, and trophies—and now even their teeth are being weighed. Indeed, a dentist analyzed the two greatest-football-era icons and concluded that the edge goes to the Portuguese star. It seems we’ve seen it all, only for the internet to remind us that there’s always more to discover.

The lingering question: who would want such a banner in their garden?
