The 261st edition of iDiski Times is out now — and as the FIFA World Cup is being played in North America, we bring you features, exclusive interviews, and powerful voices from across the football world.

After Bafana Bafana drew 1-1 with Czechia, they are still alive in the World Cup IF they can get past South Korea in their final game, and Matshelane Mamabolo spoke with Bafana legend Mark Fish and former head coach Trott Moloto about those chances.

Bra Jakes also looks at the appointment of French coach Fernando Da Cruz as head coach of Kaizer Chiefs, and spoke to former players Brian Baloyi and Pollen Ndlanya about the decision.

Sinethemba Makonco meanwhile chatted with 21-year-old Langelihle Phili, after the Amajita star’s breakout season at Stellenbosch.

After ORBIT College’s relegation, Lethabo Kganyago spoke to their heartbroken goalkeeper, Sekhoane Moerane.

In this week’s iDiski’s Top Ten, we take a closer look at the ten highest rated central midfielders from the Betway Premiership season.

All that, plus the latest whispers from the Rumour Mill, and in the World & South Africa, we look back at the career of Bafana Bafana assistant coach, Helman Mkhalele, and his adventures abroad.
