Trevor Noah, the South African host of a popular U.S. TV show, sparred with the French ambassador in Washington after the comedian joked that Africa, not France, won the World Cup.
The victory of a multicultural French team against Croatia in Sunday's final in Moscow has reverberated across the globe, being celebrated in France and other places as a triumph for diversity, while it has fanned racist abuse in some corners.
"Africa won the World Cup," Noah, host of The Daily Show, said in a segment on the late-night television programme this week.
