A statue for one goal in the opening game of the World Cup in a game we didn’t win and in a World Cup where we didn’t progress out of the group stages ?

Phat Joe returns to TV for ‘The Morning Cup’ on SuperSport

SuperSport is set to transform morning television during the 2026 FIFA World Cup with the launch of The Morning Cup, a live daily breakfast show blending football, culture, music and entertainment in a pan-African format.

Premiering on 11 June, the show will be anchored by SuperSport presenters Lwazi Ziqubu and Fiso Mazibuko, alongside a star-studded cast including Phat Joe, Nigerian comedian Basketmouth, Kenyan actress Sarah Hassan and Egyptian-Jamaican presenter Sirayah Shiraz.

Phat Joe said returning to television for a global audience felt like stepping into something historic.

“Look, anytime you get a call from SuperSport to do a show for a billion people, you answer,” he said.

“But when it's for a brand-new show with a fresh format and a pan-African cast of hosts? That's not just a gig, that's an invitation to be part of something special.”

He added that the show’s relaxed tone sets it apart from traditional sports broadcasting.

“The Morning Cup feels like it's waking up with you, family fun every morning with your favourite personalities during the World Cup,” Joe said.

Known for his sharp humour, he also joked about the chemistry among the cast.

“Sarah Hassan is a math nerd… Basketmouth is probably going to try and re-kick-start his rap career again… The only cast member I like is Sirayah,” he quipped.

The Morning Cup airs daily from 10 June at 07:00–08:00 CAT on SuperSport’s FIFA World Cup Central (DStv channel 203, Nigeria channel 223), with replays and streaming available on DStv Stream and GOtv platforms.

Diogo Jota's wife, Rute Cardoso, has written a letter to Scotland captain Andy Robertson ahead of the World Cup.

She thanks Robertson for his friendship, and for preserving Diogo's memory. Robertson adds he'll have Jota at the forefront of his mind.🙏

My biological dad is out living in California and doesn’t know about me. I constantly toy with the idea of contacting him but don’t wanna flip the guy’s life upside down. My expectations are low and I’m not under some illusion that it’s gonna be a fairytale. But who knows… do I?

[Sam @SamNaik01]

Reckon it’s a PSG player. Kvara or Vitinha.

Or maybe if you read it , you’ll see a father who’s really proud of his son. Perhaps you can’t pick it up because your dad isn’t as proud of you.

If you read this tweet without looking at the IPL table, you’d think LSG just qualified for the playoffs.
And if you read it without looking at the scorecard, you’d think Arjun just bowled a double-maiden hat-trick to save the franchise.
Reality: LSG finished dead last at the bottom of the table, and the boy bowled a 1/36 spell.😭💀

A true gentleman, a mentor and one of the kindest human beings I’ve had the honour of knowing.
