No Easy Games

Into the second half of the AFCON groups now - and yes, we are rapidly running out of time... Group D sees Morocco, Ivory Coast, South Africa and Namibia come head-to-head, a powerhouse group that becomes less impressive the more you read into it. Join us as we discuss the worst ones to watch selections of all time, a head coach who may or may not have been shagging his way around the world and Aaron having the shits.

Blasting through the AFCON groups like there's no tomorrow - it's time for Group C. We make another return visit to Senegal and explore Algeria, Kenya and Tanzania for the first time. Join us as we discuss the phenomenon of non-scoring international strikers, tournaments so terrible they might be played at Powerleague and the effectiveness of throwing chilli-filled condoms.

As sure as night follows day, Group B of the AFCON follows Group A in our series of previews. We make a return to Nigeria and visit Guinea, Madagascar and Burundi for the first time on No Easy Games. Join us as we discuss Britain's Got Talent stars turned international hired guns, box office success and the scheming power of jogging. Contains some strong language.

We continue our over ambitious journey into world football with a look at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, the biggest AFCON of all time. We kick things off with Group A, featuring last minute hosts Egypt, DR Congo, Uganda and Zimbabwe. Join us as we discuss innovative defensive protests, a career defined by pointless stepovers and Mugabe's killer mermaids. Contains some strong language.

It's the return of the Nations League tonight - so to celebrate, we return to South America for the final time. Our final stop is Chile - and the first time the men's team have featured on No Easy Games. Join us as we discuss former footballer Alexis Sanchez, just how easy it is to be a PE teacher and disappointing Nations League apathy. Contains some strong language.

We're both pretty fond of Japan but we're sick to death of talking about them on this podcast. It's the fourth time we've wanged on about them in 12 months, so we really hope they're not at the Africa Cup of Nations... Join us as we discuss the Japanese Messi, wimping your way to knockout football and unlikely former Bolton players. Contains some strong language.

It's our final new country of the Copa America previews as we head to Ecuador. Sadly, it's another head coach who might be a bit of a shit. Join us as we discuss the fear of the number seven, DJ Sash and spend far too long talking about an Easter soup. Contains some strong language.

Right. Let's move on to nicer countries. It's a return trip to Uruguay, liberal paradise of South America and the most successful international nation of all time. Join us as we discuss wardrobe malfunctions, the end of an era and whether a win over Uzbekistan even counts. Contains some strong language.

And you thought Eduardo Berizzo was bad. Yes, it's Group B guest team Qatar - and it's fair to say we're not massively fans of them, albeit only because of all the terrible things we learn about the place during the course of the episode. Join us as we discuss naturalising foreigners, polluting the world and an appalling human rights record. Contains some strong language.

After the farce of last time, we've ensured we're in the same room for today's episode. Paraguay are the latest nation we explore in our preview of the Copa America. Join us as we discuss terrible goalscoring records, challenging comedic language barriers and the inefficiency of clapping instead of using doorbells. Contains some strong language.
