About this episode

The episode discusses the final World Cup match and the development of South African soccer talents.

It's the final edition of our Izinja zeGame World Cup special, with host Josta Dladla and analyst Mark Mayambela joined in studio by former Orlando Pirates winger Joseph Makhanya. They discuss the work 'Duku Duku' has done to develop top Bafana Bafana talents like Relebohile Mofokeng and Mbekezeli Mbokazi, as well as the tragic passing of Jayden Adams. And then there is the big game - the 2026 FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina. The panel dissects the semifinals - from England's capitulation to Spain's masterclass in defence - while 'Prof' takes to the tactics board to analyse how the two teams will line up.
