In Episode 5 of FIFA World Cup On The Ground with Sporty TV, Ade Oladipo and Kweku Afari react to a stunning result that has left serious questions hanging over Spain’s World Cup credentials. Cape Verde defended brilliantly, restricted one of the tournament favourites to very few clear chances, and almost pulled off one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history. The story of the night was Cape Verde’s goalkeeper, whose incredible performance turned him into an overnight global superstar. He started the match with fewer than 10,000 Instagram followers and ended it with more than 7 million after frustrating Spain for 90 minutes in front of a worldwide audience. Ade and Kweku discuss whether Spain are still among the favourites to win the World Cup, why the absence of top performances from Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams was so noticeable, and whether Rodri’s post-match comments were a sign of frustration from a side that expected to win comfortably. The pair also look back at Belgium’s disappointing draw with Egypt. Mohamed Salah impressed in a new role, Omar Marmoush caused problems throughout, and Belgium’s ageing squad continues to raise questions about whether their golden generation has finally reached its end. Looking ahead, attention turns to the arrival of some of the tournament’s biggest stars. France begin their campaign against Senegal with Kylian Mbappé, Michael Olise and Bradley Barcola leading the charge, while Lionel Messi starts what is expected to be his final World Cup as Argentina take on Algeria. There’s also a preview of Erling Haaland’s long-awaited World Cup debut as Norway face Iraq, with Ade and Kweku discussing whether Haaland can become the tournament’s top scorer and how far Norway can realistically go. Topics include: • Spain 0-0 Cape Verde reaction • Cape Verde’s heroic defensive performance • The goalkeeper who gained over 7 million followers overnight • Are Spain still World Cup favourites? • Rodri’s post-match comments analysed • Belgium 1-1 Egypt reaction • Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush impress • France vs Senegal preview • Kylian Mbappé and France’s World Cup hopes • Argentina vs Algeria preview • Lionel Messi’s final World Cup campaign • Norway vs Iraq preview • Erling Haaland’s first World Cup appearance • Tino Livramento’s England withdrawal • Thomas Tuchel’s defensive options ahead of Croatia FIFA World Cup On The Ground with Sporty TV follows Ade Oladipo and Kweku Afari across North America throughout the 2026 FIFA World Cup, bringing you reaction, analysis, predictions and behind-the-scenes stories from football’s biggest tournament. 📩 Join Ade’s mailing list for exclusive updates:⁠ https://subscribepage.io/adeoladipo-signup⁠ [https://subscribepage.io/adeoladipo-signup] 📺 Watch the full episode on YouTube:⁠ https://www.youtube.com/@ADEOLADIPOTALKSFOOTBALL⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@ADEOLADIPOTALKSFOOTBALL] 🐦 Follow Ade on X:⁠ https://x.com/ade_oladipo1⁠ [https://x.com/ade_oladipo1] 📸 Follow on Instagram:⁠ https://www.instagram.com/ade.oladipo/⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/ade.oladipo/] 🎵 TikTok:⁠ https://www.tiktok.com/@ade_oladipo⁠ [https://www.tiktok.com/@ade_oladipo] 📘 Facebook:⁠ ⁠ [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586654100638]⁠https://www.facebook.com/Itsadeoladipo/⁠ [https://www.facebook.com/Itsadeoladipo/] ✉️ Email: ⁠adeoladipo@connexos.co.uk⁠ [adeoladipo@connexos.co.uk] Learn more about your ad choices.
