I thought the idea with handball was that the ball has to hit your hand? A bit beyond this commentator, logically.

How has Avram Grant not aged? Is it just that he looked ancient when he wasn't?
He's immortal and was actually born looking like that.
It's a blessing and a curse.
This commentator is amazing as well. 'At one point Meshack Elia had a FIFA suspension for...' *audibly checks notes* '...falsifying identity'. *Awkward silence*
Yeah, just leave it there mate, we don't want to know any details.
Why is Wissa passing there? Fucking fool.
The DRC are a hot mess.
I see the Zambia goal yesterday has really kicked off the minstrelsy. Got people who wouldn't be able to differentiate between Libya and Labia sharing it with "I love AFCON football ".
On the AC front, it's been the usual load of entertaining matches with minnows continuing their development but still struggling to score so little interest until end of group stages. We could well be left with the exact same 16 as 2019.
VAR has been flawless at AFCON.
Chris Hughton as Ghana manager? Fucking hell.
'mon Chris Hughton's Ghana.
This game already has the feeling of being an absolute shambles.
Commentary doesn't help.
Very disappointed to have an Englishman on the commentary.
Egypt to resort to full on shit-housery now that Salah is injured.
I swear Salah gets injured every time he puts on the Egypt shirt.
HE'S BACK, HE'S BACK, HE'S BACK, HE'S BACK
Quality strike from Kudus.
That was a quality through ball from the Ghanaian to Marmoush.
Couldn't have pulled out a better pass if he tried.
Kudus is such a good player though.
Keeper with an absolute nightmare though.
Yeah, the goalie is something else.
This game has picked up massively.
Heads have gone.
Herve Renard in the crowd
He knew it wouldn't be an AFCON without him.
He was in the posh seats at another game the other day, maybe he steps in for Infantino when the latter is busy in his volcano lair.
Iraq 2-0 against Japan at halftime.
Massive.
Iraq won 2-1.
Vietnam - Indonesia just about to kick off, hopefully there are lots of red cards and goals.

That keeper got concrete boots on?
Mozambique goalkeepers = proper AFCON heritage.

Oh lord how have I never seen that before.
Sylla summing up this match with that effort.
Looked at Bebe's wiki and the fact he declared for Cape Verde and they didn't call him up for AFCON that year has tickled me
Zambia in a lot of trouble if they don't manage to turn this around.
The Ivory Coast kit is an abomination.
So is their team. You can't go out of the Afcon in the group as hosts, surely. Ref has a big part to play in the last half hour.
What a lovely free kick.
RIP in pieces Ivory Coast.
They're right in the shit now. Offensively bad defending by Willy Boly to thank.
The manager is absolutely awful. Spent his life as an assman and it shows.
Not sure I agree with the characterisation of Eq G as tiny underdogs though, hardly any of them have set foot in the country in their lives, this is a squad of hardened Spanish professionals, many of them lower league but they're in a strong system.
Nsue what a legend. Was a great right-back for Boro but seems to be like Pele for these lot.
Ivory Coast meltdown hilarious.
Big fan of the camera man zooming in on Kouame mid meltdown.
How they ended up 1v2 literally straight from kickoff is a case for Belgium's finest detective.
I make it that they can still go through with a far from unlikely set of results:
DRC and Morocco both win
Mali win and Tunisia don't win
Gambia v Cameroon draw
Ghana v Mozambique draw
Any two of the above will do.
