18 Jan: Do we take football too seriously? & Odion Ighalo recalls his World Cup death threats

from Planet Sport Football Africa · host Passion for Sport

On this week's show we ask if we take football too seriously. Football is supposed to be a game that we enjoy and a sport that brings people together. But it has resulted in violence, in deaths, even in a war. We speak to Nigeria striker Odion Ighalo, who reflects on how he had death threats aimed at his family after the Super Eagles went out at the group stage of the 2018 World Cup. Plus a look at the EPL as we ask if Manchester United can manage a top-four finish.
