Why do African teams still struggle to reach the latter stages of the World Cup? With the semi-finals looming, we take an in-depth look at some of the reasons why African teams are a no-show. Is it a matter of pride? Is it a matter of money? Or is it a matter of the state of African football in Africa?

We also have a look at all the drama at The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, as Wimbledon 2018 rolls into the second & final week.

And of course, we discuss Lebron James' astronomical move to the LA Lakers and what that means for his career.

With the World Cup now having reached the halfway stage, things are getting a bit tense especially for the "super-powers." We look at how the favourites have failed to light up the World Cup as expected including Germany, Brazil and Argentina. Have the smaller nations caught up? Is it fatigue on the part of the stars expected to "carry" the faves?

We also touch on the #AshwinWillemse saga given the update from Supersport's report and the new letter from 4 black presenters at the channel.

THE 2018 FIFA WORLD CUP IS FINALLY HERE!!!

And already serving up surprises and shocks. We look at the results thus far including Saudi's mauling by Russia, CR7's heroics, Messi's blunder and the Icelandic team of part-time footballers. As always we apply an African lens and look at the troubling performance of our teams thus far and whether they will make it past the group stages.

Of course, we have a look back at all the international rugby that took place over the weekend and let you know what to look forward to this week.

Enjoy and kindly send through any and all feedback!

Siyamthanda Kolisi!

This episode follows the historic victory of the Springboks against England in the 1st Test, under the leadership of Siya Kolisi. We review the performance of the team overall and what the future may look like. With a week to go to the World Cup, we look at the African teams representing us in the greatest showpiece. Lastly, we talk the recently concluded NBA Finals and of course - that man Lebron!

That Gareth Bale bicycle kick....I mean! What an incredible Champions League final!

This week we focus on the #UCLFinal and the key moments including that game-changing moment between Ramos & Salah. We also touch on the newly announced #Springboks squad for the Wales & England tests. Lastly, we look at the #NBAPlayoffs and how that is unfolding.

Enjoy and as always send through your feedback!

Recorded fresh after the FA Cup final, this week we invited two friends of TWS (and passionate Man United fans) Thabiso and Alain. We chop it up in this longer than usual episode about the season gone by, Jose Mourinho, Man City and what the future holds. Of course we had to get into the #AshwinWillemse matter as well!

This week, Kgomotso has a chat with an old friend and Mamelodi Sundowns FC Performance Analyst Musi Matlaba. We chat about his career and how he got into the little-known but very exciting career. We also explore the inner workings of the Sundowns machine and their success both here at home and on the continent and hear some crazy stories about his travels with the team through Africa!

This episode is warmly dedicated to the hypocrites over at the IAAF, after their badly veiled attempt to curb the career of the sensational Caster Semenya.

Things get a bit intense as we look into the IAAF's position, how Loatile got blocked by the IAAF president Sebastian Coe and a Czech athlete named Jarmila Kratochvílová.

Is Mamelodi Sundowns the only true "big team" in SA? On the back of their 8th PSL championship, we look back on Masandawana's dominance and how far the team has come!

Following the shameful events at Moses Mabhida & Steve Komphela's resignation, the TWS fellas compare this with how Arsene Wenger's resignation has come about. Should Bobby and the administration at PSL shoulder some of the blame?

We also dive into Super Rugby, with the season nearing the halfway mark. We round up TeamSA's Commonwealth Games performance and what went well!

This week, they boys focus on soccer and cover the #ManchesterDerby following their visit to the official Manchester United Supporters Club base in Linksfield, Jhb. We also visited the Heineken #ShareTheDrama event and cover the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals and share predictions for the 2nd leg matches coming up. As always, we give you a comprehensive review of this past weekend's action and the most exciting sporting action to look ahead to this week!
