If there was a preliminary squad, we outline who was on it.  We also make predictions as to who will be the starters, looking a the line-ups in their most recent games to help us.  </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Time Stamps</strong></p><p>Musical Intro – 0:00</p><p>Spoken Intro – 0:31</p><p><br></p><p>Section 1: Team Information – 3:05</p><p><br></p><p>Section 2: Selection of candidates – 6:07</p><p>- Manager – 6:12</p><p>- Goalkeepers – 6:49</p><p>- Defenders – 9:10</p><p>- Defensive and Central Midfielders – 20:24</p><p>- Attacking Midfielders – 23:56</p><p>- Forwards – 30:22</p><p><br></p><p>Section 3: Concluding matters – 32:31</p><p>- Review of selection and predicted starter – 33:00</p><p>- Surprises in the roster – 41:01</p><p>- Injuries – 42:24</p><p><br></p><p>Outro – 47:21</p><p><br></p>]]></content:encoded><link><![CDATA[https://soccerphiles.captivate.fm/episode/2025-african-cup-morocco-players-part-2-of-2]]></link><guid isPermaLink="false">2c9c373d-a61c-47eb-83b1-a0aa4695ab22</guid><itunes:image href="https://artwork.captivate.fm/97c64580-17c9-473c-afa8-851bb0583ae7/Group-A-Players-Morocco-Part-2-Squared-and-Sized.png"/><pubDate>Mon, 22 Dec 2025 12:28:00 -0700</pubDate><enclosure url="https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/2c9c373d-a61c-47eb-83b1-a0aa4695ab22.mp3" length="34515430" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:duration>47:56</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType><itunes:season>31</itunes:season><itunes:episode>61</itunes:episode><podcast:episode>61</podcast:episode><podcast:season>31</podcast:season><podcast:alternateEnclosure type="video/youtube" title="2025 African Cup – Morocco Players – Part 2 of 2"><podcast:source uri="https://youtu.be/rHPlKFs-f98"/></podcast:alternateEnclosure></item><item><title>2025 African Cup – Mozambique Players – Part 1 of 2 – Short Version</title><itunes:title>2025 African Cup – Mozambique Players – Part 1 of 2 – Short Version</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Navigation</strong></p><p>Here is the link to the full version:</p><p>https://youtu.be/yq4cZSR1qgQ</p><p>https://player.captivate.fm/episode/1381fd56-78d4-442a-b4f5-55b2bc72436d/</p><p>Use the link below for the mediacast that introduces Soccerphiles:</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dGoGw3c4mU</p><p>https://player.captivate.fm/episode/af1b585a-9609-432e-bfbc-1901376b1bff/</p><p><br></p><p>Our Youtube channel has organized each of the series into its own playlist.
