Now, we all remember when these two competed in a penalty shoot-out in the 1992 final? There were 24 penalties taken and 21 were scored. Ivory Coast won that day.

Who's your money on today?

"They were simply too nervous about losing this final from a mistake and neither side went for it. It was cagey."

That's right spot-kick fans.

Gadji Tallo is on for Gervinho and Emmanuel Agyemang is on for Asamoah Gyan. Cripes! Big changes by the coaches.

Let's not beat about the bush - Ivory Coast have disappointed today. Ghana deserve this on points.

Cafc:, external Has there been a worse major final than this? I'm struggling to think of one. Any suggestions?

Three minutes until penners.

"Since going to Germany, Salomon Kalou has looked every bit the player who sometimes lit up the Premier League at Chelsea. He is the type if player who could just grab something from nothing and I think he is definitely the player to make an impact."

Ivory Coast bring on Salomon Kalou for Siaka Tiene, while Ghana's Frank Acheampong is on for Christian Atsu.

Ghana's Asamoah Gyan fancies this free-kick from 30 yards, but takes out Ivory Coast's Eric Bailly with his effort, who has already been on the deck in this match.

Chris Phethean:, external I feel this game could well still be 0-0 even after penalties...

Ghost Goal:, external At this stage I would prefer drawing of lots on the pitch to penalties.

Jordan Ayew, who hasn't been on long, almost gets his shot away only to be denied by Kolo Toure after brother Yaya's error landed Ivory Coast in trouble.

Mungo Russell:, external City fans better hope Yaya doesn't bring this form back to the Etihad, or the title's won already.

"That is the first time I have heard the Ghana fans get involved and engaged in this game and we have had 107 minutes of action. That was a great opportunity for Ghana, although the set-piece afterwards was disappointing."

Good Ivorian blocking, ends with 'block of the match' by Eric Bailly to deny Asamoah Gyan from 20 yards. The resulting corner comes to nothing.

We are back under way.

No more needs to be said. I'm guessing coaches Herve Renard and Avram Grant are drawing up their penalty-takers list.

"That corner really summed up Yaya Toure in this final, although it is not just him it is everyone else too."

But yet again Yaya Toure finds the Ghana keeper Razak Braimah. Now Ghana have a free-kick at the other end.
