    The FIFA World Cup 2026 continues to deliver drama, surprises, and heartbreak and this week, we break it all down. We kick off with a light-hearted conversation about the rainy season before diving straight into one of the biggest talking points of the tournament: Senegal's incredible collapse after throwing away a 2-0 lead. Who deserves the blame—the coach or the players? But Senegal's collapse raises a bigger question: Why do African teams struggle to protect leads on the biggest stage? From Senegal to Ivory Coast, South Africa, and DR Congo, we've seen the same story repeatedly. Is it a tactical problem, a mentality issue, or does it come down to an inferiority complex? Meanwhile, Morocco continue to set the standard, proving once again why they're the benchmark for African football. We discuss what they're doing differently and why, despite nine African nations reaching the Round of 32, only one or two may make it to the Round of 16. We also cover: What happened to the Netherlands? Is Morocco becoming the Brazil of African football? AY writing off Ghana against Colombia—was he right? Can Cape Verde pull off the impossible against Argentina? Why France and Kylian Mbappé look like the most complete team in the tournament. ⚽ How many goals can Mbappé score at this World Cup?
