    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.

    He is so incongruous here, it's marvellous. Looks like a weary Soviet attaché.

    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.

    That was brilliant, he clearly went down a hole he didn't want to be in.

    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.

    That was a quality through ball from the Ghanaian to Marmoush.

    Couldn't have pulled out a better pass if he tried.

    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.

    Vietnam - Indonesia just about to kick off, hopefully there are lots of red cards and goals.

    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.

    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.

    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.
