 Great to have you here. I'm back here on the breakfast and plus TV Africa. It's coming home, it's coming home. That's a lot of the conversations yesterday were centered around those statements or that phrase with the England versus Denmark game at the World Cup. We're going to be listening to a post-match interview with the coaches of both teams, England and Denmark and of course the captain of the English national team and right after that we will be introducing Wally Scott here on the breakfast but first of all let's watch this. Well I mean we've got one more game to go you know what a fantastic tournament it's been so far. Different type of win today we have to dig deep against a very good Denmark side and yeah we we've got the job done so of course what an opportunity being at Wembley for the final for our first European Championship as a nation so I mean we'll enjoy this one but of course the focus turned straight on to Sunday we recover well and then try and prepare for that. These games are about courage there they're about digging in about belief and we definitely have that as a squad so this will just give us more going into Sunday now. Denmark have had an incredible tournament I mean I've got to give them huge credit I thought they made it really difficult for us tonight they pressed us so well scored a fabulous goal the boys a super player and but I think on the balance of play you know when when you look at the number of saves you've forced the goalkeeper to make and long periods of the game where I felt we were the the biggest threat I think we deserved it and yeah for our country I mean I've not heard this new Wembley like that ever and to be able to share that with everybody and share it with everybody at home is very special. First of all congratulations to England with the final um first of all I want primarily I want to to congratulate my my colleague Gareth I followed what the FA has done strategically and and especially how Gareth has led this this team for a number of years now how he works in the with the young players how he gets involved and how he behaves himself in with with the values he's he has and how he represents and communicates um is outstanding so congratulations Gareth I think you do you're doing a great job in a in a difficult in a difficult job so congratulations. All right let's now introduce Wally Scott our sports correspondent reporter and it's just amazing to see spots with Wally Scott isn't it welcome you like the phrase I don't know you are the one who likes the phrase interesting so yes just give us a feel of what you know you know people in England might be going through right now the excitement they might be feeling first time since 1966 about 55 years since I mean it's just it seems amazing remarkable isn't it I don't think it is it's an excitement in England it's a four year wow as in they've never been near it since 1966 wow and don't forget that um Nigerians are it's easily affordable and available for us to actually see the English Premier League so we're always having this feeling that the English League is the best in the world the players are the best in the world but that's not true really and it's good it's England and Nigerians love the Premier League it's in Nigeria and it's either it's Chelsea or it's Arsenal or it's Manu you know so it's good um and will the cup come home like you said earlier football is coming home is it going to go to England I doubt it so so let's start with I want you to also mention why why do you think you know they have been successful this time is it because other other teams have um you know been a little weak teams that you know a lot of people expected will make it really really far this time you know fell off um so is that the reason or do you think the English team this time the Southgate has really really done a lot of work as I don't think we've seen an English team the three Lions as good as this is a long time they've got fantastic players and um Garret Southgate has been open to criticism you know most older English coaches are very proud whether they are English or not they are proud they will listen to your but you know English players come out or your Freudian at Gary Neville Phil Neville Paul Gascoigne and actually saying this is wrong guy and he's listening to them and I think that helped him out because um everybody thought that he was going to take a different person to these heroes maybe a Jadon Sancho who is all English but he's he's obviously looking like he's depending on Bukayo Saka who is causing too many problems for defenders in this competition so far and he has gotten them here so I think he's listening to criticism I think and it's good for him and um England is in the finals they've not been this close to anything even this cup here exactly so it makes me want to ask you apart from these points you mentioned what are the factors you think they got right this time around that they didn't in the past 55 years I I I really can say English the English team has always had good players you know they've always had good players why they don't get to the top I do not know some have blamed this on inconsistency some have said they just lose it when they lose focus when they get near it I don't know but this is a regular English team they've got fantastic players in this team this is a team that could have afforded to leave Jamie Vardy at home yes you know they've got a full four you know he's only 17 or 18 years old you know they're not this is a team that is not afraid to use young players you know teenagers they will use them if they are good enough you know and this is a an English team that's actually agreed to use regularly a black a dark skinned boy black boy from to use that word who has a Yoruba name and he's he's the man who is causing problems for the offenders in this team how far will English go in England go yeah who be the question now this Italian team is the most disciplined Italian team anybody has seen since 1917 that's how far this is the most disciplined Italian team the Italian team have two players in their defense Chiellini and Bonucci they've played together for over 11 years they've gone through criticism they've been criticized they've been insulted they've been praised there they are two best defenders in the world right now they've played together for 11 years the problem with the Italian team the problem that England will have is they are 11 players on the field of play this particular Italian team have seven players playing once in events they play together week in week out so you feel that bond would have a we'll have a I've always so say it on my shows if you go and play 11 players who play in Ogba or Balendi and they play regularly everything for say five years and you're bringing the super egos who play in different leagues even if they win that match they will sweat so you feel that synergy there's always about understanding each other the synergy is always there you know this is an Italian team that very badly in the past people like me and other pundits have they didn't give it a chance fine ask a no we didn't even think Italy will cross the group stage but this is a team that has been building over the years they've played together for so long and like I told you two defenders in the Italian team have played together for 11 years how would they not know each other there's of course all the teams that you know people had expectations let's also just briefly talk about them the ones who fell off you know the germany's the you know spain you know belgium even you know which has been very very impressive in the last couple of years where do you think that these you know what happened with these teams and why belgium no let's go once go belgium germany at a point did what the italians did you know they were building players from scratch and they won the world cup that year yes italy have done something almost impossible they built one person they'll just face one person zero immobile they face a in senior they face a you know what they work on him constantly you are part of it see it's been able to identify one player and say you are part of my team and you are building a team one by one and italy has done that we know where zero immobile will play in the next month we know where in senior he's going to play we know it's going to be ponuchi and she a lady at the back in defense we knew that from last year so this is a team that has been built for a while even at that pundits didn't give it any chance everybody's talking about england the english press is the only hypo they can hype they will hype the english man like his superman and that's what we'll be living on but surprisingly despite forget the hype don't hate the the the player hit the game now you know forget the hype england does have a very good team is there any is there any role that experience has because that we we we saw an era where there was a man al and shara english team we went to the peter kraut we went to the win runy you know the back arm era those were different eras of the english team um in the current team is there any player that you know they look out for based on experience whose deb is an experience or this is just a young fresh um energetic team i won't say they are young i'll just say that um these guys have a point to prove everybody looks out to harry k for example who's the capital team yes um you look to harry maguire who is another player but i've never seen an english team that's got flair you know in Nigeria yes when you want to when you go and watch ball you want to look for the guy who can dribble you can clap and all that england they used to have that just straight jacketed train players play pass play pass but this team practically every player in this english team can dribble has flair has skill unlike most english players you know they're looking at an english team that's got bukayo saka who can carry a bike when it gets to ball and you can catch it you know harry k can dribble can score goals and all that harry maguire can hold the ball is so confident this is the most confident english team we've seen in like 25 years amazing so what it's got i want us to take a look at the harry k next to time goal that basically sends them into you know the this euro victory now um how do you analyze that goal no put me in trouble everybody says that wasn't the penalty first off and then he missed it the first time again and then he scored the goal eventually and another thing again i want to discuss is the fact that england have played practically all their matches in wembley except for the one against ukraine rule and everybody said that was it that was a plus factor for them because one the pitch yes to the matches is really really really available to their fans to be there yes 60 000 fans you know you know so um everybody has said that the wembley factor has been a plus for them the only match i guess they played at this stage was a rule against ukraine they played practically every other match in wembley on their home soil which of course should be a plus for them you know and secondly um people are saying if it's wembley of course the referee is the officiating people are actually human beings and the noise and the shakara will overwhelm them and there will be a plus for england if that's the case well when they meet italy in wembley once again once again let's hope that um it's good to be talking about that but i don't see the english team beating italy but like everybody said i watched the match i didn't see the i didn't see a penalty but it was a penalty and like i see somebody's head was trying to catch somebody harry kate missed the first shot and then he got the second one eventually so do you have any any predictions for what the final would look like it's italy all the way we have never seen um the days of paulo rossi who are to be brought up from jail to actually go and play for the azurians and they actually won the world cup that year this is the intelligence team as good as that you know this intelligence team is fantastic they don't have flea they are not too important they are not too popular they don't have too many adverts around them they don't have funny styles they've come to play ball they've just come to play football you know and this guy's main business and even if they take that match to the queen's palace in buckingham italy with a match so it's not coming home uh this intelligence team is too good to lose to england maybe another thing maybe they could lose to belgium maybe they could lose to spay maybe they could lose to germany but this intelligence team against england even though even though 60 000 farms were gathered at that stadium on wednesday let them play for the two players so you don't you don't think uh south gate uh tactically would be able to read the italian team well enough to defeat if you watch the belgian game belgium against italy it took the belgian team 90 minutes to try and break down that italian team and it didn't work 90 minutes to break it down i saw the english team players they were overwhelmed by denmark they're very fantastic yes absolutely they're very fantastic team really these are italian team are two disciplined if they say if the coach says stay here they don't leave there they stay there and if bonucci and chaelini play in that game which they will chaelini is married to hariken their husband and wife he doesn't go anywhere nobody and hariken is the only thing i can i think i give you problems bonucci gets married to bukayo saka and game over all right i think we need to go just give over we just pay respect to the manchesa united players in english team harry maguire and luksho if your team is in epl and any players in the in english national team sorry what i would just have to say now you fancy that okay what i'm just saying thank you very much for your fantastic analysis thank you we would find out indeed what happens at the end of the day if your predictions are correct you won't be through them hope i'm correct no okay we'll take a break here and return to give you facts about today in history
