Great finish. Very disappointed for Cote d'Ivoire, but they should still progress against Curacao.

Wtf Adingra??

Uh oh. Yan Diamande down, and I know what a pulled hamstring looks like.

Fae is 10 minutes late on substitutions so far. Put in NDicka already.

Kessie could have a hat trick with a better first touch. Cote d'Ivoire is looking legitimately good.

It's incredibly unlikely, but wouldn't it be glorious for an African team to win the World Cup in Trump's face?

Clear foul from Germany. But I have no idea why the ref waited so long to call it. 🤷‍♂️

AFCON is doing ok so far. I would love to see an African country win this cup in Trump's face.

Saliba is crazy good.

It's so weird for Coca Cola to make a World Cup commercial with a VAR ruling as the highlight. Howard Webb must be so proud.

I wouldn't mind seeing Diamande in an Arsenal shirt replacing Trossard.

Unexpected lineup choices for Cote d'Ivoire tonight. O Diamande, NDicka, and Amad all on the bench so far. Hope they are healthy.

I turned USA v Paraguay on for the 2nd half. Observations: Paraguay looks really poor, but I'm not convinced by the USA yet. Also, the Spanish commentary is much more fun than the English language clown show.

Amazing season, Arsenal. So close.

Let's not stutter step ever again.

Raya goes the wrong way a statistically improbable amount

Let's go! We got this!

Gabriel and Saliba have been outstanding today. As usual.

Looks like both teams are mostly playing for shootouts

Barcola fails to emulate the star striker Havertz.

I hate to say it, but Saka has been poor today.

Kvart was certainly playing to draw a penalty, but Mosquera played into it. Level at 64 minutes is ok.

Nobody even knows what the ref is calling lol. Wtf

Fortunately we've trained for this exact scenario with the PGMOL.

Wow what a shitty reffing decision there.

This ref clearly left his cards at the hotel.

Mendes should have a card there.

Arteta is getting involved on defense lol

MLS! What a drive

On the bright side, we have a LOT of experience playing with a single goal lead this season.

I don't think any commentator predicted Arsenal scoring from open play. Hopefully they have a backup narrative in mind.

This kickoff "show" does not improve the experience.

My official and admittedly optimistic prediction: 3-2 Arsenal. First is Eze magic, 2nd is Gabi on a Saka corner, 3rd is a late Merino finishing a Martinelli shot off the post. Kvart and Raphina score for PSG.

So Martinelli's transfer price is 90+ million, I guess? He looks significantly better than Gordon to me anyway.

Thanks CNBC for pushing the trophy ceremony all game then not showing it. Cool.

I think maybe we shouldn't start Zubi at RB against PSG after all.

Grilling some burgers tonight in honor of Hincapié.

Guehi was guarding nothing on that goal.

Semanyo looks tired.

I mean, our opposition has gotten away with similar plays deserving red cards several times this season. PGMOL requires arterial blood spurts to earn a straight red that is not DOGSO.

Time for substitutions, right Mikel?

We have 0.19 xG so far. I'm not impressed with this. Let's go!

Ok Palace. Play this poorly against us, please.

Never a doubt! 😬

Let's see some Kai. Now.

Saka is saving his best play for the last half hour. Yeah that's it.

Whoa Zubi tried a forward pass!

Only 3 added minutes? Wtf

I'm getting tired of our guys stopping to appeal to the ref. Kavanagh is calling the game better than usual.

Gyokores seems to be playing for the fouls today, which clearly won't work. I wouldn't mind seeing Havertz.
