EP 56 | AFCON: When Football Lost Control


Listen Later

In this episode, we ask a serious question: should the AFCON third-place match be scrapped entirely?

Nigeria and Egypt clearly didn’t take it seriously the Super Eagles rested key starters, while Egypt’s lack of preparation showed during the penalty shootout.


We also break down the AFCON final, from Bono’s early heroics to Senegal’s goal being ruled out amid questionable officiating. We dig into the controversial penalty call involving Morocco, the chaotic refereeing, and the moment Senegal’s players walked off the pitch an act many saw as unprofessional and damaging to the game.


Beyond the headlines, we discuss what these moments say about CAF officiating standards, match importance, player motivation, and tournament credibility.


It’s raw, honest, and unfiltered football conversation the way it should be.
