The beautiful game is completely engulfed in drama both on and off the pitch. In this episode of Afternoons with Zweli, sports insider Worship Freemantle joins the studio to dissect a highly explosive round of 16 fallout. We dive straight into the controversial Egypt vs. Argentina clash, breaking down the sheer frustration over a disallowed goal, missed fouls on Mo Salah, and heavy accusations of tournament corruption. We also confront the ugly side of the game, addressing the racial abuse directed at Lionel Messi and the coaching staff's formal complaints. Plus, we look at the strict security crackdowns across the United States including a wild fan zone physical brawl that required police intervention and the massive confiscation of over 600 fan drones in restricted airspace.

Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli. He keeps you in the loop with everything from music and movies to sport and pop culture.
