This week I was delighted to be joined by Ibrahim Mustapha author of "No Longer Naive - African Football's Growing Impact at the World Cup" on the show. We focused on the remarkable story of Senegal's run at the 2002 World Cup, which included the memorable opening game victory of France. We spoke about the journey of the time, harmful stereotypes about African players and when an African team will go to the next stage of the competition. We also spoke a little about the African Cup of Nations, which is currently exciting fans at the moment.

If you are further interested in the subject, definitely check out Ibrahim's book, which is well worth reading. And again thanks to him for sparing the time to join the podcast.
