On this week's show, as the 2018 World Cup is getting closer, we ask when will an African team win the World Cup. Will it ever happen?

On this week's show we talk about African talent, and ask why it hasn't brought the continent success at the World Cup. African players have been praised for their natural talent for many, many years, and we hear from a goalkeeper from Britain who played in South Africa for many years. He has just joined a Zimbabwean Premier League club. And also we finish Stuart's series on 25 years of the EPL. He looks at the celebrity status of players and also how the EPL has become less and less English. Plus reflections on another breathtaking week in the UCL.

And also we look at Arsene Wenger's decision to step down as Arsenal manager.

On this week's show we talk about investing in youth football. Because of financial constraints, youth football is often overlooked in Africa, but we hear from Cameroon, where an international youth tournament for Central Africa was held recently.
