Argentina football finds itself in another controversy amid the "racism" row. Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has been accused of slapping camera person Jhonny Jackson. The incident occurred after Argentina lost to Colombia 2-1 in a World Cup qualifier match. After the incident, Colombia's association of sports journalists has asked FIFA to take strict action against Martinez. The Argentina football association and Martinez have both maintained silence despite the journalist messaging Martinez after the chaos. Is Argentina repeating the same mistake they did after Enzo Fernandez's racist video about French football team went viral?

Also on the show, Cristiano Ronaldo and Erik Ten Hag at loggerheads over Manchester United. Ronaldo first slammed Ten Hag for his lack of accountability. Ten Hag has now responded to that critique. Is the situation still bitter between the two? And McLaren has decided to back Lando Norris for the title after the criticism of Italian GP. The team has even asked Oscar Piastri to back Norris. Despite the backing, Norris has come out saying he wants to win the championship on his own merit. Does Norris' statement reflect there are rifts within the team?
