Let k be an algebraically closed field, and let l be a prime number not equal to char(k). Let X be a locally fibrant simplicial sheaf on the big étale site for k, and let Y be a k scheme which is cohomologically proper. Then there is a Künneth-type isomorphism

which is induced by an external cup-product pairing. Reductive algebraic groups G over k are cohomologically proper, by a result of Friedlander and Parshall. The resulting Hopf algebra structure on may be used together with the Lang isomorphism to give a new proof of the theorem of Friedlander-Mislin which avoids characteristic 0 theory. A vanishing criterion is established for the Friedlander-Quillen conjecture.
