 Friday. Yes, yes, yes, and it's been a fine week in the name of sports. A lot has been happening and we are here to update you all. Of course, I am your host, Ogoe Eddy. And joining me on set is none other than my analyst, Shafi Zelle. Yes, Shafi will be also with us today to help us break down each and everything in Mifanika. Shafi, how are you? I'm fine. How's your week been? Zuri munu zim gaji. Sporti miku ade kuaku? Ya, miku kwanzuri, miku kwanzuri, sa. Miku kfraisha kabisa. Kwanzia jima apili, hadi leo. Wado kuna mitchezuban. Leo kuna napoli. Oh, do you make a climax? Asi climax, keshyapia kuna games, IPL, saan de kuna, akuna kumzika. Skanzuri wiki mizuri sa. Well, so much for sports and we here to break it down for you for those who don't know much about it. And to begin with, we want to begin with the story of Koskei. Brigit Koskei has made us proud, although it's not as we expected, but then again, we are all but proud. Now, Ethiopian Ababel Berihani is the new world half marathon record holder. Ababel today lowered the previous record held by Kenya Jocelyn Koskei by 22nd in Ras al-Kamani, half marathon in United Emirates Arab. Koskei, the preface favorite was second after also dipping inside Koskei, older world record time of one hour, four minutes and 49 seconds. Another Kenyan resmeri Wanjiru, who was making her debut over the distance, finished third after clocking a personal best time of one hour, five minutes and 34 seconds. It was Kenya's affair, it was a Kenyan affair in the men's category as kibot kendi-drun brilliant race to win a personal best of 58 minutes and 58 seconds. Alexander Moutiso was second in 59 and 16 while Ethiopia Mulya Muhisiya was settled for third place in the 59 and 47 seconds. Wow, this is quite inspiring. I mean, I'm a bit disappointed that Koskei didn't make it for first, but it's been her first race ever since last year. She's been out of the tracks for a while. Yeah, this is a first race. So, if even Yamerudi, do you think this is disappointing? This is a good show to show that she's back and she's preparing well. Well, Joel Davis has just joined us and this is actually making one for a better conversation. Joel, we were talking about Bridget Koskei finishing second today in the marathon race that she ran and Shafi here is telling us that it was really disappointing for her to finish second. She could have done better, but my perspective is this is a first race ever since last year. She's been out of the tracks for a while. So, you as your opinion, do you feel that this was a disappointing run or do you think it's a good show considering the fact that it's a first race ever since the year began? Okay, for me I'd say it's not a disappointment because if you have been out for that long and you are coming back and you are getting in position 2, it shows that you are still have something to offer. So, for me I feel like now position 2, maybe after 2 or 3 more months of training, then it will be back to its normal. So, for me I feel like it is just a good step towards where it's supposed to be. Well, I always like it when my analysts don't agree because it gives in for a better conversation. Normally it takes longer so this time I'm just going to cut it short for a while, but then again, hey, every day is a good day to argue. Now, personally I think it's a good show and we are hoping that she does well because I believe that this is her preparing for the London Marathon which will better yet prepare for the Olympics. So, for me I think this is a good show and I hope, I just hope that it does progress better as she goes on in London or do you feel that there's a way, that she does well, but she has a different vision. I feel that she does well because I have a special opinion in the nation and that it's good for her. I think she is good for the country but when she does well, I feel that she is a world record holder and she is very lucky. Yes, she is a good for the country but she is a better woman. Yeah, a better woman. Okay, Shafi, you go first and Ltebu go first and you go to the south. Now, moving on to the next story, now this one makes in for a really really really interesting story and this shows that hard work does actually truly pay eventually. Kenyan international signs for besikters. Harambe starlets forward, Esi Akida has joined Turkish giants besikters for a two year deal. Akida who was part of the starlet squad that made history when they qualified for the 2016 Women African Cup of Nations put pen to paper on Monday, after noon after a successful trial. 12 months after one-year deal with Israel-based club, Ramat Hashum came to an end. Besiktas is currently second in the 12-team league 36 points ahead, a point behind league leaders ALG's poor. You know what, Eddy, when you perform, where? Timu Zengides na kuwa na. Kuchiza kwa utu uzu? Uki perform 2 vizuri. Uki fanyatu ki tu yako vizuri, bila kwangalia, bila kwangalia, nani yangalia, wana fanyatu personal vizuri at personal best. Una Timu Zengides na kwangalia na kwangalia. Wezi yu atasahit na kwangalia, wezi yu nana na kwangalia. Una pato kitu kaha pa mtuna kuitia kitu flani, kitu kubua. So akida ama kizia vizuri. Ina, ina, kolini mese mailo, harambistas. Wale wana umo harambistas. Siyokuamba wana kizia tu nyumbani. Nasiyokuamba, nyumbani doa me umo kuchiza pali nyumbani, apana. Uwa fanyi bidi kama alia harambistalit. Anga liya Davidu umo, ametu yon baka inje. Harambistalit kunda kuchiza ili niniya upa, ukule takish. Vizuri sana harambistas kukopi ama kufata ili nyayo za harambistalit. Well, well, this, me, Joel, this actually makes it for a very, very interesting conversation. Now, me personally, I'm happy. And last year we were here together when we discussed about so many times we talked about starlets, in fact, with you. And I remember in some of our conversations, tulionge leleveni wame fanyi vizuri, despite the challenges that we're going to face, some of them being financial, some of them being, well, they had different challenges. So for them to actually come to a point where they're being recognized with the other teams, it does show that something is working out right, right? Okay, yeah, sure. One thing I should tell people is that, outside there, outside, let me say in Europe, there's so many teams that are looking into African for talent. The only thing is, we are not exposed to what Europe wants here. But Scots can come from Europe to Kenya or to Nigeria or any other country in Africa, just like that look for players. They have to perform at a certain level where people can see them, but people are hungry for talent. As long as you put any performance beyond par, everybody will want you, because so many people are hungry outside there wanting to send these players here. So in regards to what you're saying, one thing I have actually noticed is that there is a very big need for managers and scouts and agents. Yes. That's one thing that Africa is really lacking, because it's the one way that you'll be exposed out there while still playing in Africa, right? Yes. Okay, okay. Confidence is 50% of victory. Wa lio tizaji piwana kwa na kwa na confidence kumbo na ueza. Okay, okay. So it's not just confidence and it's not just all about them, it's also the need of agents and scouts and of course managers. That's the only way or one of the best ways to actually make your foot will go out there. Now still on Stalitz, Arambi Stalitz Provisional Squad for a Turkish women cup has been named. Now Arambi Stalitz head coach David Ouma has released a Provisional Squad for the Turkish women cup schedule to run from Monday, March 2nd to Wednesday, March 11, 2002. The call up largely features players who did the country proud in the Seqafa championship game last year in which they emerged as champions. Coach Ouma is expected to trim the squad to a final list of 21 a few days before the team just out to Taki on Monday. The team is expected to hit camp on February 23, 2020 in Nairobi as local friendly matches has been lined up on Friday, February 28, 2020. Now we do have a video to actually play for you. So the TC take over. For us, at this moment for us as a nation to participate at the Turkish women cup, I think it shows the seriousness with which now if you look the little goals that the Federation is putting to be the best member association across the world. And of course, Kenya being a sportive nation is really on the world map. And this is where at this moment we are pushing for the women football because if you look currently where we are ranked at the 133 position and you look and you would like to be at the world cup we've got to play the top ranks. Coach David Ouma highlighting us on what's going on. Now you guys, there's something I've actually really noticed. I think it's about time that people started just acknowledging just how much starlets have achieved to this point. I mean, there are a lot of things that these ladies have done to get where they are today. It's not been easy. It's been a big struggle. But one thing that I actually acknowledge and really, really commend them is the fact that they did not let the struggles that they are going through affect their play in field. But you guys can share more about what you think about starlets to this point. Okay, for me, it's a day to give their best regardless of the lack of allowance, lack of food, lack of better sleeping facilities. They decided to oversee all those challenges and give their best. Then going to Taki is not like I can tell you, it's not about the trophy they are going to play, the matches they are going to play. It's the exposure that they are going to see. You know, if you go there, you see their changing room. You see they are there, you see their trainers, you see everything about there. And you come back to Kenya and you see the condition that you are coming from. And going there. So you will find everything that you are going there is basically going to benchmark what is happening there. And you get exposed to their life. Then you have that determination of going to play in Europe. Kus you have seen everything about Europe, everything where they are sleeping, everything. Then you come back to your condition in Kenya. You will do it and everything to get yourself out of this Kenya to go play in Europe. So for me it's more like exposure and to give them that mindset that if you work hard, you will eventually go there. So this is an opportunity for them to actually showcase their talent for someone who is there and watching and needs a player of their calibre. This is the window for people to see them, right? Yeah. nafidienohake o nagituma sana na sirkali. Kuando nakuwo na watega, sana a mama kua kua tega, lazima sasa, Ali Vosema Amina Muhammad kwa sasa wa takone angaliwazaidi wale o bidehenoha Arambi Stalit. Ignapedeza sana, kama hende kuule, taki. Bas na, letemani sana, Ali Vosema, Amina Muhammad, Azidi, kwa ile promisiake, iwefulfildi. We hope that he continues that way and even more. We would really like to see stylists even go further and further and the ladies be called in better teams. Now, speaking of coaches who are still getting combination, Muyoti has been named as January Coach of the Month. Yes, Kakameka Humbu is Coach Nicholas Muyoti was on Tuesday, named January Fidelity Insurance Coach of the Month. Now during the month of January, Humbu is won all their four matches and scored nine goals. They thrashed Thretin Kisumu Ulsters 4-0, Bitsuki Richo 1-0, before renouncing defending champions Gormaia 2-1 at Bukongo Stadium. They completed the excellent month with a 2-1 win over Kariubangi Sharks. It's the first coaching accolade won by the former AFC Lopad midfielder Muyoti, takes home 75,000 as personalist trophy for the achievement. Now, we have to really commend. It's been a fine job to win all these games and you can look at the teams that he's been playing. Now to take points from Gormaia and take them from Kariubangi Sharks, it's not easy. So, for him to actually do that. And right now, Humbu is our third, I believe the third in the league and there are like 41 points, four points behind Gormaia. So, this is good work. I believe he deserves it. And Muyoti, wiiu Muyoti, wile wile wikimuangalia wiki taku jua alfanya kazi gani, unge angalile metia wu zidi ya Gormaia. Muyoti ali tumasana vidyanu ake. Muyoti kazi ake lu ne kanasana ku iyo game, meneza semo kwa metizotamun mezionaza kaka meza Humbuiz, Muyoti kaka metikubu asana mbame ku anayoni ya kaka meia Gormaia. Nabilevilosa kwa mba wale Gormaia, walu kuakiu kwa mitandao, walu kuakiu skuma skuma sana vidyanu a Humbuiz, waku wa tukanu aki rushenamana. Waksima kwa uta tu shihenda, awan asma uta tashihenda. Well, that's another machi meji Davi, so it's of course expected. But Joel, what do you have to say about this? Okay, for me it's when even you see the nomination, I'll stand out to any other person who wants to compete in the January award of the best manager. For me it's all about the work you put in. If you put in a lot of work, if you give your best, you'll be recognized. So, ana challenge, ana competition, it was clean for him, clean win, and he's like, yeah, commentable. Well, good luck to Muyoti and we really hope the best for him as well. Now, Gormaia may have had a bad record again as homeboys in January, but they did well this week as the Gormaia triumphed over Nivas in the FKF Betwee Cup round of 32. Action. Now, Gormaia twice came from behind to beat Nivas 3-2, setting up a date with postal rangers in the round of 16, the FKF Betwee Cup. The match was played on Sunday, February 16, 2000, and, of course this week, in Kasarani. Girls from Dixon are born on the 48th minute and Lawrence Juma 69th minute and Boniface Omondi deep into the stoppage time were enough to cancel Kingsley, Orwar and Rashid Hassan first half goals. Bandari, Ulindi Stars, KCB, AFC Lopez and Kariubangi Sharks also booked a place in the tournament's round of 16. The tournament winner takes home two million Kenya shillings while runners-up pocket one million in the third place will be, and fourth place, teams will take home 750 and 500 respectively. That is 1000. Yes, 500,000. So, have you noticed something about FKF, your Betwee, and KPL? You might not have noticed it. Well, that's why we're here as an analyst. We don't have to know. We don't have to know. We have to know that the KPL will be the champion for the FKF Cup. We have to know that the FKF Cup will be the champion for the FAA. Kusinda KPL will be the champion for KPL. KPL will be the champion for the KMTUZA and Bata Shinda League. So, the FKF Cup will be the champion for FAA for two million prize. The FKF Cup will be the champion for the KMTUZA and Bata Shinda League. Kusinda KPL will be the champion for the FKF Cup for the KMTUZA and Bata Shinda League. The FKF Cup will be the champion for the KMTUZA and Bata Shinda League. So, what's your opinion? That's what I want to know. I'm very pleased. Thank you. Please enlighten us. I've been watching these two leagues. I tend to believe there's a lot of good organization in the second division, which is the FKL. There's a lot of organization. There's a lot of sponsorship. Unapatoko kuna sponsorship. Kuna so many good. Let me say, kuna kuna melekeo. Batu kukuja kwa KPL. There's a lot of corruption. There's a lot of bad management. So, atokipata sayizi, like I can say, most of the companies in Europe, they are trained as much as possible to work with the second leg in Kenya, but not the first leg. Because we cannot gain some of these companies because we are one challenge where this major league is, most of the players are old. No, unapatoko kuna kama kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa. Maybe to do scouting to do these big players, these big clubs. Ropatao players are all above 25, 26. You can take them to Europe. But if you target the second league, Ropatao players are young, 18, 17. So, this is where the future is. This is the potential talent. This is the potential where you can send players. So I tend to believe, sayze, attention being in a kwa forecast to the second leg in Kenya. I don't know why but I just will kuna mo attention there. Well let's not take so much attention away from the FKF about a cup of round of 32 because a lot did happen that they end gormaia coming two nil down and winning it. I mean coming down twice and ending up winning it. It wasn't easy. It wasn't really easy. Now I do agree to the extent that well of course, wakise ma primarily gina pesa na watu kujitumu kwa kapa kama i it does it does reason with logic because nye rent lazime lepwe school fees lazima ze lepwe awa chiza jpani binadamu tukama sisi wakuna majukumu kama sisi so awa pia omifukuele seime yona jihisi nikama ya ni pia ya ni maitajiao lazima pia timizu nela So always wala umu lakini pia it's it's about time I believe it is it is really about time that someone actually did take this issue of primarily lacking finance seriously but who will do that kama adisa i badu tunabisha nana elections siza FKF wana fsilepa di kisumbukana 400K wacha tu it is inama saibu tuia zidia zidinaia zidika bisa anyway it was a very interesting week in international week kend we do have also the premier league

vr oh vr ok ok vr played a part in that one and there's a little bit a lot kumikuwa na complex kibaba against vr but then again moving on to this weekend we do have interesting matches to be played

versus Tottenham which one do you think will take it home Chelsea because they are playing at home they are playing at home but Chelsea haven't been consistent at home this season I mean or I don't want you to prove like home is the best place for them ok I think Chelsea are poor at the moment but it's past hours because it's past work on so many entries they don't have their formation and Rino is guessing things again yeah I think they played over the weekend on Wednesday and they were outplayed so there's a lot of energy that they used in their game so coming on Saturday which is like 2 days only 2 days of rest and they are back here so I think Chelsea will have enough ok Shafi I want you to give me this one of Leicester versus Manchester City oh yes Manchester City Manchester City why do you think Manchester City is going to be Leicester now this one actually want him to respond because he is a serious Leicester City fan but ok finish with what you are saying Manchester City on the other hand he is going to be the champion of the league he is going to be the champion of the league but he is not going to be the champion of the league me neither Manchester City Joel actually for me he will go with Leicester because not because you are a fan but because no I am a fan definitely I am pulling towards my side but the fact is Manchester City are going to play Chabus League on Wednesday so they are going to play this game with one eye into the champions league they have to at least rest some players because they are going to play in Santiago Banabu in Spain so if they play all their players here and they get tired and they go to Banabu they such as they will second thing Manchester City have already secured their top 4 position and going to Madrid is the only trophy they want and they are not sure if they are even going to play Champions League next season yeah so they will have to they might as well win it this season yeah so they will have to do everything for the other game and leave Leicester to win 3-9 well let's wait and see what will happen this weekend of course these guys do not agree on their results but if I was to say when I would say well let me preserve it for next weekend but I will be looking forward to the Arsenal vs Everton camp because these are two coaches who have not been in the Premier League as coach for a while and now they are going to meet each other and it's all about the efforts that they have made ever since they stepped in as head coaches now from us to you of course it's goodbye but just as a reminder Y-254 will be
