Brazilian GP Breakdown, the ICC T20 World Cup Final, CAF World Cup Qualifiers, Xavi to Barcelona, and Women's Football - time for a radical change?

The Final Four

On this week's episode we have Mpesh, Fanele, Mbuyi and Nkuli giving their takes on the world of sport!

Formula 1 (Time Stamp - 00:02:11)

An amazing win Sir Hamilton at the Brazilian GP. We start of with an explanation of GP and how the points are calculated for our listeners that aren't familiar with Formula One. What’s with this sprint race and what value proposition does it bring to the weekend? What should Max Verstappen and Red Bull try to do differently to break pass Bottas and Mercedes?

Rugby (Time Stamp - 00:12:42)

We discuss the Springboks 15-30 win over Scotland, how does this win differ from that against Wales? We analyze the team and individual performances. Would any changes need to be made to strengthen the team ahead of England and why? Special mention to Ireland!

Football

CAF World Cup Qualifiers (Time Stamp - 00:19:23)

Zimbabwe 0 - 1 RSA: What made the difference this time for Bafana to take this one home, and why was it so effective? We now know the outcome of the Bafana. Ahead of the game, we looked at the various permutations. A point needed to be salvaged against Ghana in order for SA to advance. Are we starting to see a style of play from Bafana? Where should our expectations be for the national team?

Football Manager Changes (Time Stamp - 00:30:24)

We unpack what the return of Xavi may mean for the Catalan giants. Is he good enough to fix the systemic problems?

Gerrard to Villa; Smith to Norwich; Howe to Newcastle; Conte to Spurs; and Xavi to Barca. Which one is the best fit for the manager, and team?

Cricket (Time Stamp - 00:46:31)

ICC Men's T20 World Cup - AUS v NZ World Cup Final. Could you have believed, given team performance through the World Cup, that this would be the final game?

Social Justice - Women's Football (Time Stamp - 00:51:27)

Our social justice commentary for this week is centered on the women's football. There is some debate that women's game is at disadvantage with the current sports dimensions. Most literally, we discuss whether the goalposts in women's football should be made slightly smaller. Do you agree with the panel's views? Or are we in danger of having 4 men behind a mic speaking about something they shouldn't?
