 Welcome to ToffeeTV, this is Group C of the World Cup Qualifiers Week. Oh, I'll start that again. Welcome to ToffeeTV, we are looking forward to the World Cup. Not long now, pass. Not long now. Well, yeah. I was going to say here we come, but we're not. Group C we're looking at today. This is a tasty little group. This is one of the, it's not, I don't know if it's quite a group of deaf territory. No. But it's a nice, I like it. It's got good games in it. Okay. Bit of variation. Okay. With France, Australia, Peru and Denmark. It's not like necessarily on paper, like blessed with lots of quality on paper, but I think this is going to be one of the most competitive groups. I really do. Why? Well, I think with France, you've got an outstanding team. But I also think that France will need to play into the tournament a little bit. They won't just be out of from day one. They've got fantastic players, but I don't think they're quite a fantastic team. I think they start, I think the game's looking amazing. And normally they take the lead. And then normally they just like go, yeah, let's just keep playing, playing brilliant football and that leads to little bits of, you know, miscommunication and concentration. And I think that might allow some of these teams just to creep in. So I think France will get better the longer they're in the tournament. So I think that opens the door a little bit for one of these other teams. You know, Australia, Peru to just maybe sneak something. Maybe. And obviously so. And obviously, Denmark are a good side as well. So I think it's going to be a good group. There's good entertainment. Yeah, France, they should have won the European Championship really. Yeah. Shouldn't have, you know, won all the Portuguese. Well, they must. Well, yeah. Portugal pipped them in the final. But they looked. They grew into that. Yeah. They've got better and better than that. They have got great players, the players that missed out. The list is incredible. You know, Gila Chizet and Marcials and players like that. I think a big miss for them will be Kachelni. He's obviously out injured. So a lot of fall-on for hands, shoulders, really. Yeah. But yeah, you know, there'll be opportunities there. I think you're right with France. I think sometimes the complacency creeps in. Yeah. Especially when you get ahead. It's fought off the guy. They don't really go for the Gila. And that's being people's criticism of them, because they've had some incredible players. They are very strong right the way through the side, though. You know, in the three-strike, you know, you've got Olivier Giroud, who's great in the air. They've got Griezmann, who's absolutely brilliant. And they've got Killian and Bapau. He's getting better and better and better. So they've got the blessed with exceptional talent. You know, whether you can get it. They haven't got payet though. He got injured, didn't he? And hasn't gone so creative. But he's not a massive football player. He was great at the Euro. He was, but since the two years, and since his move from the Premier League, it's dropped off. And I think when Bapau's come through and become more of a football player, Dembele, now Barcelona. This could be a big breakout tournament. I think, for me, I think Griezmann's the main man. I think this is a well-cut where he's, you know, at his peak. This could be big for him. So I just think it's a case of them just doing OK in the group, starting to put performances together. And who knows, they could be the winners if it all clicks. Definitely. I mean, I think as far as the other teams, obviously, you've got Tim Keil and his Ford Whale Cup. Australia have Matt Ryan, who's Brighton's got to be with some people and all that. Yeah, they're not who's Aston Villa. Rod Cich, as well, who plays in the Celtic, isn't he? So they've got players who we know. And obviously, if it's Keil, you know, you can, you know, last 20, he spoke about it in something else, you know, last 20 minutes him coming off the bench. But for Australia, it'll be about trying to be organised, as you've mentioned, and trying to hang in for these games and these opportunities. Aaron Moyers, well, of course, he plays a Huddersfield who's a good footballer. He's normally the half-beat of their side now. They've kind of built that because he is quite creative and he keeps things ticking over. So yeah, I mean, it's not a fantastic Australia team. I think they got there through a playoff. So it's not an amazing side. They always struggle for goals. I think a lot, even though Keil's 38 and it's his fourth World Cup, and I imagine it'll be his final bit of football. I think I fully expect him to retire after this. He knows that as well, and he's like the kind of fellow who always can rise to the big occasion. He's absolutely all over this. He knows, I think, for legacy. I think he knows not one thing in his career as such. He should have won trophies with us. He hasn't. This is his legacy, a fourth World Cup. If he was to score in a World Cup, for his fourth World Cup, he'd go up there, he'd be someone forever remembered, and I think that's important for Tim Keil. That's part of his story. I don't mean that like in an ego way either. He's come from nothing. And if he ends up playing in four World Cups and scoring in four World Cups, that would be huge. He scored one of the greatest World Cups goals ever in the last World Cup. So if he could do that again, if he could come off the bench and just get something, you know, again, it certainly has to get one of those headers in to Peru or something against Denmark. And he's cemented himself, and I think that's what it's all about. Don't get me wrong, he's got the pride of playing for Australia. He wants to do well for them. But I think there's that little bit inside that's pushing him to get something. I don't expect him to start any of the three games. I think he knows that, and I think he's got to make full use of how we have his time when he gets it. And I think I imagine Australia would have a plan of how to use him. Because he's so good, he's still so good in the air that if it comes to the last 20 minutes of a game, they'll be just saying, get wide, put balls into the box, you know, knock it down, or get something on goal. So let's hope he has a really good tournament, or just get that goal, I think. I mean, well, we're saying, aren't we, and people like that, it'll be key. Matt Ryan will be key, the keeper, obviously, because you need your goalie to be on soft form. Keil is almost like a key man, because he's the person you would look for in that squad to get on the end or something. So they're going to have to keep, you know, keep in the games and try and create that opportunity for him to come off the bench and maybe kill it off. And that's the, you know, that's the front, so Australia's the first game on the Saturday with the four games in it as well. So that'll be a great Saturday. Peru, interesting, they go through the qualifiers, the intercontinental qualifier against New Zealand. They have to finish in fifth place in the South American group, which is all one big group. And I remember that the night it was up and down, Chile were in there, and they just managed to get the result back up into fifth place, beat New Zealand comfortably to get through to the World Cup. And, you know, everyone's, I think everyone wants to see them do well, you know, just for Paddington Bay, really. That's it, it's four, really. You know, second ones come out, doesn't it? You know, the second films out now, and you've got to try and keep the Peru story. You've got to keep the Peru story going. You really do. It's the first World Cup since 82, which was the best World Cup ever of all time. But, yeah. So, and the story for them is obviously Palo Guerrero, who was banned for cocaine. Well, he said it was in a drink. It was in a drink. It was like three cocaine, baraksa, bum, whatever. Yeah, like a coffee sort of drink, that they drink in South America. Yeah. It's not that one that Funes Morrie has, is it? It could be, yeah. You know, Funes Morrie and Suarez were those like weird cups. It's like a... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, like that tea, it was like the metal straw or coffee, or whatever, the hot drink. It might have been something to do that. Yeah, that's gone to... That went to... No, it's gone to appeal, hasn't it? But the appeal is after the World Cup. But it's been lifted, you can play in it. No, that's what I'm saying. It's gone to appeal. So he's playing with the band hanging over his head, but you can play a World Cup. That's mad, isn't it? There is mad. That just seems mad. That hasn't been sorted out. Just do it beforehand, yeah. So that's a big thing for them. He's the captain, obviously. They've been preparing. Obviously, they've done something. Even the fact that they've gone. Yeah, he's still captain, mate. Don't worry about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then I suppose that's a big thing for them. No, he's done nothing wrong. He's done nothing wrong. Which is fair enough. Obviously, they've got Geofferson Fafan, who's well-known in Europe. He's been around for a while. Andzai Carrillo, who was... who's on loan at Wafford, and was one of the players that allegedly asked Marco Silva to take him to Everton when he was linked with the thing. So look at him. Look out for him. Yeah, he'd rather have it and go back for him. I don't know. Christian Quaver, who plays for Sao Paulo, who is an attack on the field player, who's got a good reputation. I'll tell you what I will say about Eipuru. Is that... they seem to have like a... they seem to have like a bit of... just... I'm trying to think of the right word. They've got a bit of momentum. Marmalade? No, it's not marmalade. They've got a bit of momentum in terms of, you know, people's feelings towards them. They are... they're not a dark horse. They're a massive... outsider, obviously. But people... one of those teams, that people just want to see you do well. Yeah. Because of the romantic notion of... because it's always the big teams and stuff like that. That people want to see them do well. So I think they'll have people behind them. The kits are amazing, by the way. I think Everton's there. Kits should be that. But not red. The umbra with black. Don't like the black watch. Yeah. That's exactly what they're doing. The other Peru kit, the white with the the lion dam, which was obviously sun on them in 1982. There's a Bosch kit, you see, like the reverse. Well, they hadn't played any European teams for a while. And they've been playing friendlies. And I think they've beaten... They beat Scotland last week. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sooner. They beat Iceland 3-1 recently as well. And I was having a good fish cut. No, no. And they beat Croatia as well. They beat Croatia as well. Yeah. So they've played three European teams back to back to get that experience. Obviously, we're playing Denmark and France as well. So they've played three teams there and got that momentum going where people are really, and people in Peru are obviously really excited, really, really excited about it. Well, they'll be a close-knit group, won't they? And that's what you get with this, with teams like that. You can have those kind of those kind of stories, can't you? They'll carry you through. If you've got a good team, you've got a good side. You know, we've seen it. We've seen it with Ghana, didn't we? Yeah. In South Africa. And I suppose you're a guy for that matter, because you're a guy, even though they had swarries, he wasn't at the peak of that time. Yeah. He had fallen. Everyone else, you know, but Ghana were the ones who were on it. You know, they came in. And it's about the team, it's not about egos. And the egos all just sort of disappear for the sake of the team, because it is, it's for the shared, it's for the country, they're all born together, and it's for the greater good. Then my interest inside got through on the Qualified, Beats Ireland. Beats them, was it 4-1? Something like that, yeah. In Dublin. Ericsson got a hat-trick. He's obviously the stand-out man. Yeah, fabulous. Disappointing news, that. Lord Benton. Yeah. Thank you. Disappointing. Yeah. But, you know, Ericsson is the top man, isn't he? Yeah, he's got so much ability. He's a fantastic footballer. He was very good for eye action. He came into space and took him a little bit time to settle. But then, he's been really inconsistent every year. He's a quality footballer. And this is a state. Big wealth cup for him, isn't it? Because I think we all, some of us of a certain age, we all reminisce about 86. And again, how Denmark, you know, nothing. And then Laudrup turns up. Laudrup. And if it wasn't for Manaddonne, you know, Laudrup was absolutely amazing in that World Cup. Michael, this is. Both of them played a little bit. But Michael was absolutely brilliant. And the Spain 5-1. And the kit was amazing. The sort of halfy, halfy that every Sunday League team had a variation of in Liverpool from Kelly's kits. And I suppose this is like a similar stage for him now. You know, he's got, he's the one diamond. And he's surrounded by workers. You know, they've got Casper Dahlberg. Obviously, they've got Schmeichel, who's a good goalkeeper. But he's like the one, the one thing. That's the one. He's the diamond in the rough, as you say. You've got Cornelius as well, who haven't been fans of the member from. Yeah. Cardiff fans are a member of him as well. Cardiff fans, the big unit. Yeah. Yeah. It's about again for them. It's about. Got Simon Chiar as well. He's a very, very good defender. Sent him back, yeah. Played against us, Phil Liel. Yeah. Phil Liel, yeah. He's in techno. Yeah. He's in. Played in Italy for a bit there. He's a good defender. He doesn't go to players, but you write it, it's a case of, you know, with Dahlberg, he's, you know, he's very good. He's only 21. So, obviously, he's got a bit of ground to do in terms of experience, but he's a very good footballer. But he's the one who they will look, you look to. And he's the one who the other three will be trying to stop. So, it'll be interesting. So, who do you think out of this group then? Listen, it's difficult to look back. France will win the group. Should win the group, really. If you're a French player or supporter or whatever, you would expect France to win it. And on paper, it should be them, really. Managed by Argy, Ryder, older people, will know, probably from Manchester City and Norwich in the 80s. So, there you go. A little bit of useless knowledge. They should get through, but obviously, Australia, I think, I think will finish bottom. Do you? Yeah. I just think I can prove it as stronger. A bit more quality. Between those two, for that other place, because, like you said, Peru has just played three European sides, beaten back-to-back. They get a bit of momentum. You know, this is, again, we're talking, we seem to be saying this with the group, but this is a key game, because if you think France will take care of Australia. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. This is literally the... They might get off to a good start. They might be proved that they're in a great position to beat Australia. This will be a good game. It will be a good game, but I think this is key, because these, for me, these are the two that will be playing for the second place. And so, with Peru to beat Denmark, you're talking Denmark, having to beat Australia and having to beat France, or, you know, four points would that be enough? Well, France's second game is Peru. So, Denmark, last game. So... So, with Peru to beat Denmark, you know, and then, you know, you could go home to the last game. Peru. Peru. Say, say for argument, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say, say,
