 Good evening to all sports lovers and the rest, when you play sports we will never forget you. It's the first season and as you all prepare for your festivities, sports sadly never stops for any first season. Nimesameza ma festive mingisana, I hope you may recognize. It's a very busy, December is always a busy schedule. Games are always aligned so many and this one is even there are so many games that is aligned and there are so many things to talk about but let's just start with what we know. First of all, I am Edio Goy and welcome to Sports Friday. Joined on me and said Nikona, a few of my analysts will be helping me get down and break down each and everything that in me Fanyikahi wiki in sports. On my find Nikona Edgabure and near me I have Brian Mushiri. Those are my two analysts on your talk and he said, again break down each and everything. Now let's start with the rugby. Now the seventh series kicked off and sadly unfortunately 18th start well with our boys but the rugby sevens coach said to ring changes in the team. The Kenya sevens coach Paul Fanyi promised to adapt some new defensives and attacking strategies ahead of their clashes against Samoa, Australia and Ireland in Poldi. Clash at South Africa sevens that were scheduled to kick off today in Cape Town. Kenya finished 13th in Dubai after edging out Scotland 24-14 in the playoffs. They had previously lost all their pool stages matches falling 17-12 to South Africa 12-5 to England and 22-19 to Spain. However Fanyi was in praise of the charges despite the outcome in Dubai sevens saying that the team had shown some complete defective in their playing and explained that they are working on the teams attacking which proves to be sagish giving their opponents advantage each and every time. Samoa, Australia and Ireland and Kenya make Poldi which will kick off today on the men's competition on this Friday opening between Australia and Ireland which is the first game. Now guys I'm sure you've been following the seventh series to this point and you watched the first on which happened in Dubai which was really, really terrible. I actually felt so bad watching it but the team really impressed me in the last match but even so looking at the team what did you think was their changes did you feel any effect that the new coach has brought to the team? Well for this one I think it was hard for everyone nobody quite knew what we were expecting but let me just talk about probably it takes time for us to be able to incorporate the old players and the new players that kind of mixture because of our lack of systems that kind of mixture enables it at Sumbuwakidogo as we grow up the ladder in the HSBC world series that might take a while but remember this is a big league you don't have enough time to do that you always have to adapt really fast but I think that was just a slow kind of slagish start but we should be able to pick ourselves up in South Africa. Well Edgar the coach has actually said that one of the problems that we have in our national team is the fact that our team has a slagish response to their attack and most of the time in Apatiaga opening in Suitu advantage kwa sabu wana jyotu vizuri atuna jpik vi polepole wuki angali awliwana yotu na ilu kwa shide piki ake amakulu kuna other problems that we should deal with as we go to Cape Town Okay looking at that team there was slagish in attack but also wajua ukiwa na ila slagish pale kwa attack niliwana piki kwa na shide na uku kwa mabiki wakiweza kwa improve in the attack and defence wakiweza kwa trusa wana Well I do agree with the coach that the team was a bit slagish as I watched the game is there's one thing that I actually recognized was the fact that they were very slow in so many areas that sometimes it actually felt like they didn't even want to play but eventually they just picked up and then continued and continued and continued but all in all we hope all turns out well as the coach sets to bring on new changes to the team and we hope that Cape Town will be a very different case in regards to their playing considering the fact that the first one was a little bit well I would say disappointing but then again we wish the team well and we hope that they will do better in Cape Town Now moving on still on national team Ziko still takes charge in Kymanzi in Kymanzi's absence as stars face Zanzibar Now defending champions Kenya take on Zanzibar in their final group game match at the Secafa senior challenge Cup Saturday afternoon at the Lugago stadium in Kampala The two teams met in the final of the same tournament in 2017 in the Kenyatta stadium in Machako with Zanzibar stretching the host to the limit being a game that Kenya won 3-2 post match penalties having settled on a 2-2 draw on regular time Head coach Francis Kymanzi completes his two match suspension on Saturday and will be back for the semifinals Stars assistants Zedekaya, Ziko Otieno will take charge of the second time following Monday's decision by the tournament organisers to slap Kenya Francis Kymanzi with a 2-much bun Now guys it is one thing nili skia the accusation that was put against Kymanzi now I would really really struggle to understand why Kymanzi did the things that were alleged alifanya because I really fail to understand why alilokin players who are dressing room even one and then two karefari kwa tunnel I have not yet had his statement in response to that but then again I actually assume that he is a very sober man even the experience it was a new one for me and I mean it is Francis Kymanzi Agio Blikenia's best coach you don't know why he would do that but may I look at him and I would feel he is he is an experienced man I think he ought to have done it of something but still your experience should be able to dictate Amen because I would say I agree with tactics I know there are tactics but this one was just insane I am over of Kenya Francis Kymanzi is a coach that is very much experienced kando na kwa kochiwa kuruvana mantra viti ik見て Panemsub نف aula note ya murinu kando na ekhua kochiwa some of the tactics is murinu ana moiiga kudusu marReally they've been playing well they have gone on to win all their matches He's coached a couple of clubs here in Kenya as well, even outside the country a bit. And I think we should be able, we have the depth for this one. I saw a couple of new faces, some youngsters here and there, probably giving them some international experience, which is good for them. Yes, Bandari is Hassan. He was Hassan Abdullah, I believe. He's been very good. Wow, the winger has been doing things that I'm impressed. But then again, I feel you have something to say on this one. I think we should be able to do something about this. We should be able to do something about this. We should be able to feel that Ziko will be there to send a strong message and to make this a good thing. But I don't see that Ziko has really that much pressure on him, considering the fact that of course he is a coach at Akua. But then again, the tactics is in atokatuku from the same person. The idea is still from the same person. So I think he has a particular implement. I think you just go to the dressing room and talk to the boys. Yes. When you do the kifanya. I am a fan of the kifanya, I think it's Ziko. I think it's Ziko. I think it's Ziko. I think it's Ziko. I think it's Ziko. I think it's Ziko. But then again, it's Posa, Tizih Shtuka. I think it's Tizih Shtuka. So yeah, that one says Shtuka. Now, moving on swiftly to the next story, we go to international story. Now, Russia is not happy with Wada after being banned for doping. Not a surprise for me but then again, what can I say? Now the world anti-doping agency on Monday banned Russia for four years from major global sporting events including 2020 Tokyo Olympics and 2020 World Cup in Qatar over manipulated doping data. The toughest ever sanction imposed on Russia state authorities will see government official bad from attending any major events while the country will lose their rights to host or bid for the tournament. Russia will still be allowed to compete in the qualifiers for the 2020 Football World Cup but Wada, Director General Olivia Nigel added that should they progress to the finals in Qatar the team there will not be representing the Russian Federation. However, Russia participation in the 2020 and St. Petersburg host 2020 Euro and the St. Petersburg hosting for the four matches is not affected by the ban because it is not defined as a major event in the anti-doping process. Rasuda, Russia's anti-doping agency supervisory body set to meet on December 19th to take on decisions whether to appeal against the ban to the court of arbitration or not. Now, this is not the first time Russia is being banned. I think to some extent it's becoming like a melody. But let me look at it this way. One, if they come up with a country or participate in any event that is under Wada they cannot compete as Russians. They will compete as neutrals. I hear them calling them neutrals. Even if Russia qualifies for the World Cup Russia will not be raised. The national anthem will not be played. They will not be playing as Russia. Can you look at this, do you think it's about time because I was looking at it in the perspective that as Kenyans we also should really take serious consideration to these things because Cecipia Chagonguana vituza doping. Where do you see us going with this? I take you back to yesterday at Nyayo when we had these two little children, a lady and a gen from I think Langata primary who had a nice poem about corruption in front of his excellency president Uhuru Kenyata and this matter on corruption I'm just trying to bring it on board with this this matter on corruption talks about if you crack the whip on a big fish guys will throw the line. Cecii uo jama muna chara za siftam skiza aki se ma jump, tuta jump, aki se ma name Ata munya aki zia next kwa zata fota vituza. Because you're bigger than us at this point in time, you're a host. So what you see with Russia is just an explanation of what one can do to anyone. Because this is Russia, it's our superpower. We are Kenya, we can say we are trying but I mean Russia. Kenya, yeah, evident. But then again, I look at the regulations I mean one, this is not just affecting the athletes but this is not the first time that Russia will co-band the first time will co-band while he suspend the Rasuda anti-doping agency where he suspended or Kandika Niwan just to show that they are serious about it but eventually we are still back to the same case same old case. Now me personally I feel that this is very disappointing. The Russian government has come back and they have really expressed their emotions. Baka government officials o mamboa skata kwa izu events. So imagine national team, Russia kichaza flag easy reziwa. When national and the mezi play iwa now official in your government is gonna come to your stadium just to show that he is not representing Russia. We are going to Russia, he is not allowed. Okay. Me na dani worda is there to send a message, a strong message that every sport last more when a discipline without discipline akuna pulesu neza henda. So me ni kitu chamu himo apa nileni damu ambayo inajaribu kutuma kachkawli mongumzima whether you are who or who discipline first. Anu me director slit. Kamo ni nani amana. That is very interesting. Okay. Now it's very interesting when we talk about sports but then again, this week has been a very entertaining week in terms of football. We have had the champions league, the Europa League and they were all out of this world. I mean the expectations what will putesama beti ziliungua but let's get down to it now. We first start with the champions league. Now the champions league was very entertaining this week. Guys, gmgani luwashituwako of all the champions league matches let's start with that one. I would really like to start with that question. Ajax Valencia. Ajax Valencia. Ya kwa lu kwenigani? A mi akuna ni nilini shituwa. Mi mi nilini shituwa ni real Madrid. I mean, ahatu celeb mune expecti gwa perform. Nya nga angushu. Alafu celeb mune expecti gwa perform boom, they are back. Tena kwa away. But then again, it was a very interesting champions league. Ah, team Mingi zili tokha. Teams that I really didn't expect if I could have the tables up I think. But some teams that were left, teams like Napoli, izuni teams in zili tokha that man to the extent muka kocha kabutokazi. This is, now as we look at the group stages, PSG and Real Madrid will make it through. So Club Brugia and Galatasaroy, off to Europa. Bayan mune kin 13am, Olympiacos and Caravan, ii na ituli expecti takwa tuivi. Atu kwanza. So ii me tokiana expectations zetu. Ii me tokiana expectations zetu. Going down. Man City. Man City. Ii na ituli expecti takwa tuivi. Ii na ituli expecti takwa tuivi. Ii na ituli expecti takwa tuivi. Shaktar. Shaktar at home are very dangerous. But this time, muna nyoroshu nyumbani, nikama it's never happened before. And then we go to Juventus, Atlitiko Madrid, going through, leaving out Bayan Leverkusin and Lokomotiv Moscow. Is this Bayan Leverkusin? Yes. Bayan Leverkusin and Lokomotiv Moscow. And, when I look at this, it was very interesting because nili kwanaga lady points, zili kwa ga different. Now, on the other group, Liverpool and Napoli went through, Red Bull and Jank, bye-bye, off to Europa. Barcelona and Dortmund, Walianda through, Inter Milan, Salvia Pra, now Inter Milan, before I even continue, Inter Milan I think was the shocker of the group because they were looking so well. In fact, mimi kuna pwintu olukwame, fika mimi nili kwanaga. Ni inter na Barcelona and Rota Pita. Then all of a sudden, kabum, things change. But they may win, they might win Europa. They might win Europa, if they go to Europa. Well, they do have the squad, that much, I do agree. But then again, when I think about it, when this team, when these big teams, ok, Lukaku is on fire. But Lukaku is just proving, he's making a statement again as Manchester. But then again, when they come to this, nini, nani kwa ga different. Let's signal yon, walingia benfika na zinit. I think this was the hardest group ever. Mimi nili yangali, nani kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa, because he group, kwa kwa kwa na jata team, ga nini kwa kwa. Ya. A kuna team, kwa na team, kwa na team big. Ya. Ni kama kuchu kuatutua, dogwa zitu alafu washkabishi. Tosa uju ni nani, ata kumju ule mingin. Haa, moving on. Chelsea and Valencia and Valencia only make it through, Valencia taking on top of the table, Chelsea taking say. But gold is lost. This was very interesting because Valencia only kwa shakkulifa itaari. Eh, game mihumishobato, kanya roshwa. Ya. Ajax wakashida. Ni game, mihanya football. Football is very unfair. Very unfair. But it was a very interesting game. I watched the Valencia na na na na na Ajax ki dogom. I actually, I actually enjoyed it. It was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, Iax vs Valencia after the Red Cat things went sour for Valencia but still they managed to win one nil against Iax. Shaktar Donest vs Atlanta 1-3 nil, Real Madrid vs Clubbrook Real Madrid 1-3-1. This was a shocker for me because mimi hiki kama ngegamboli usiko nge kia rial. If I would again, me, siyo kila mtu. Bayan vs Juventas, Juventas went on to win two nil olympiakos vs Karavan olympiakos one nil. Napoli won four nil against Jank.Dotmond had a red cat but still managed to beat Salvia Praha 2-1. Benfica vs Zenit, after Zenit, man, Maredcat zili 2-3 isiku. Benfica won three nil and then Inter Milan lost to Barcelona 2-1. Then almost Agreb vs Manchester City, it was 4-1 Manchester City taking it home. Atletiko Madrid beat Loko Motiv Moscow 2-0 PSG 1-5 nil. That was like a very bad horror movie. And then Bayan vs Tottenham. Well, I would say this one me actually expected it to end exactly like this, 3-1. Okay, why? For many reasons. Now Tottenham are good. I don't deny that. I mean they have the squad, they have the depth. But I don't really think Mourinho still has his champions league squad. He has his Premier League squad but he doesn't have his champions league squad. Anagere boku topa his Premier League squad to the champions league and sometimes that doesn't always work. Because Tottenham might not quite have the depth to play up. Exactly. In the English Premier League and also UEFA. The same squad you have. You can have both guys. Same thing about Kuta Chelsea. I buy that on Masita. Masita sayo kwa nashida ya depth. Braio Papa Mishiri has stopped sound. Mabisha. Onajua Chelsea. Chelsea ni team ombaimefa nyanvisuri na wa toto. Lakini tunashkuru wamaeza apliftu wa yo ban. Yanwara wa toto. Kama wa toto angena baka mushuwa season. Chelsea haongi kwa naweza. Hao ane wa toto anya. Wa na experience. Wa toto ane chesa champions league. O kuji wa chesa UEFA. O kuji wa chesa Premier League. At the end of the day the kids will be tired. There's another first that I wanted to look at. Liverpool are leading in the Premier League. Liverpool are leading wako kwa champion league still. UEFA is coming up in January of course in Anzaga to January. Now we also have another problem for Liverpool as they are going to play the World Cup. Now this is another fixture that is going to add fixtures on top of fixtures called Liverpool. Do you still see Liverpool retaining the number one position considering the fact that this is not the first time that they have been leading in the table. Naizu point mingivo and still went on to lose it. Yes, I think they will. I don't know. There's just something about this season with Liverpool. First of all they are too lucky. Exactly. I was saying the luck is 100% on their side. VR is on their side. You remember that season that Manchester Lichindaga season on Mawanil? Mawanil, Mawanil, Mawanil. When luck was just completely on their side. This happened like Liverpool. There are those seasons that you just get that. It's purely luck. They're good. They're very good. You have Fominio and you have to make an error as a defender. You have Salah, you have Mane, you have Fobinio. And Biketa and all that. Alexander Arnold and Mekizo Maran. But on top of it all, on top of being good, they are lucky. One thing I would say about Liverpool. Yes, I want to add something. On top of that, I want to add something. On top of the club that has been going on for a long time. On top of that, I want to add Alex Fagason, Mane Jambaymi and Kubali Sandu. He has been competing with Mingi. He has been a part of Toto Fursa. He has been a part of Toto Fursa. He has been in the club for a long time. But he has been in the club for a long time. But at some extent you actually should look at this in this perspective. One. The club is a club world cup. Hajai is a club world cup. So this is his first club world cup. So this is a trophy that no one has. In that old staff room. So they want that club world cup. That is one. So there is no way at Toto Fursa kwa club world cup. Now, two. A kichizisha gwa Toto, aikwagi Shida. Shida ni, a kichizisha gwa Toto, lafua Toto wa Shindue. Wato na se ma gaji. Bono li pumzisha watu. Okachizisha watu. Because mimi kwa premili. If there is one thing I have always understood. Toto na se ma gaji. A kichizisha na stoke. Amo chizisha na zhuyi na na na na. Sheffield United. A kichizisha na Manchisa United next week. Eka full squad. Egamea Sheffield wa Shinde. Julia Manchisa United. Ato kupumzisha wa ma pliwabigi. It's not guaranteed on enakushinda. Na points bad on itatu. No one cares. Gamea pride delisha. But all in all, I think it's about time. Klopans are quoted. Squad properly. Although I want to some extent I may answer because I'm forced to with injuries. But this is something that it should have for sin. Considering the fact that Salana kina mani hawa gender injury for a very long time. All I talk on a fatigue twin on wajatukut after injury. But all in all, Liverpool is Liverpool and Klop will always be Klop. So let's not be surprised. Now moving on to the Europa League which actually really really shocked me last night. There's that competition. Yes. Yes, Europa League. Can we invite the reggae guys for... In a competition. In a competition. In a competition. In a competition you have to struggle to wall up what they are still doing. Yes, I invite you to say walubo. We can discuss now your competition. Are you matting in Europe? Are you matting in Europe? Are you matting in Europe? Now, as I continue. In the trophy, in your 20 years, Sheffield na kashinda. I want to say it again that I came to Bingo when she was playing in Mcheza. Europa League. Arsenal played last night. Manchester United played last night. Arsenal went on to draw 2-2 on a game that actually felt like Arsenal were about to lose as they were too nailed down only to come back from Alexander Lachazette equalizer and went on to win through a very very very unique and special goal from Saka. Yes, I said Saka. Now, it was a very interesting game. Guys, I hope you guys watch it. Martins in Chujua. As they can see, Rangers went on to Yung boys waka toka 1-1, Poto went on to Wali Shinda 3-2 aga nis Feinud This one I didn't expect it, this one I actually hoped that Feinud Because Poto wali anza kufunga boya kwanza, waka funga apili, Feinud waka rugisha moja And then Feinud waka funga apili, and then Poto waka naka funga yatatu So at some point ili fi ni kama Poto lukwanda kushinda Espanyol vasi CSK Mosko, CSK Mosko Wali Shinda wei Ludgoretsu Wali Shindo na Fran Coversa, Laffa Wolfsburg vasi One Mail vasi St. Intien Wali Shinda Gent, this one I knew was going to end up like this I think most people did, but this one shocked the world Mokil bagu, aiawatu waka na mga pisei kwa ligiao Burusei mokil bagu na mga pukwa ligiao Waka na mga pukwa nambukat, kwi saba Kwi saba ma nambamoja Waka na mga pukwa ligiao, this guy is atop of the league in Germany This guy is wali nyorosha ban munik kama ato ii Twenton kuchapua nil na Istanbul, Latimata Oh my God, this one was the shock of the night And then Roma vasi Swolsburg, na iini ilo usbagia nii Inusbagia Australia I believe And then Swolsburg went on to win four nil I don't know how to confirm Kuchapa besiktas four nil Indu timi na nili za kachiko Europa Manchester United vasi Alkamar Wali Shinda four nil And then Kunabraga Wali Shinda four two Patizan Wali Shinda vasi Sastana And then Apoelwa Wali Shinda one nil vasi Sevilla I think this was also a shock because I mean Apoelwa good but still this is Sevilla Korabag vasi One One, Arolanda One One vasi Sdandeldi And then Copenhagen One Malmo vakashi Wali Oh Malmo lichapa Copenhagen And then Dynamo Kiev vasi Sluganon Wali Du One One, Basel Wali Shinda two nil vasi Strasbag Izi majina nii gumusoni kizi zigi prononskama venyongi taraji ya nisa mehe And then Gatafe vasi Skarasoda Wali Shinda three nil Hetafe, inu it's Spanish Oh Hetafe Hetafe Yes sir Last vasi Sporting CP Wali Shinda three nil And then PSV vaka Shinda One One vasi Rosenbag See FR say yo Wali chap Wali Shinda Two nil I think this was also a shocker Because Celtic will confirm how much I lose any home game at the moment Reigns vasi Slasio Wali Shinda two nil Standard Lieg vasi Arsenal as Wali Drotutu Frankfurt vasi Victoria Wali Shindwa three two Now I think that was very interesting for Europa And we really hope that Me I hope the English teams in Lekukaka Because English team I think the only teams in Nafanyaga At least here in Kenya Don't get me wrong But all in all it was a very entertaining games I didn't expect Manchester to have a name But then again Greenwood Greenwood I see that boy Now moving on this weekend promises for some Very very very entertaining fixtures In the English Premier League One of them being Arsenal vasi Manchester City But let's check out the fixture You guys Now One of the players that I met Is Ozil Ozil throughout this season I met him for many different reasons One, he saved me Two, he saved me And he saved me He saved me He saved me He saved me He saved me He saved me He saved me Anyway it is Arsenal vasi Manchester City Head to head Now what do you guys see about this game I think this is the biggest game this weekend Except for the fact that Manchester United Is an Everton which again is another big game I remember But let's talk about this one first Arsenal vasi Manchester City We are talking about and you mentioned That a game in Nezashquad Very very in Nezashquad It is defense in Shambles Arsenal are trying to redeem themselves In Nezashquad Had a manager That they didn't like Now they are trying to make it look like The manager and you will see players That is your take on Nezashquad That is his take That is not the gospel truth That is take as an analysis Okay I will talk about this game in two perspective One as an analysis Two as a fund No, not as a transfer fund No, not as a transfer fund Okay Come an analyst I am saying this game end in a draw Why? Because Arsenal Man City Man City have not been in a very good form In the Premier League Amit Potezae Betkada Now we can only team Ambao Amam futra coach As an analyst This game is in a draw But as a gambler Man City Kichwa Here is how I take it Arsenal have these choices One, it depends all in the defense that they put in Because one thing that was proven through the Champions League Europe League was the fact that David Luiz Cannot defend them At least that was my take Another thing was in the fact that If Martinelli starts because the boy has shown Some proven techniques That one would argue It would be a critical mistake To leave him out of the first eleven Now, before People would question why would Nai Emery Would start with Saka and leave Martinelli Out seeing what the boy has done In every game that he has started he has called Seven goals In seven starts You have to give credit to that I think right now if there is one youngster That is performing just as good would be Abraham and Greenwood Abraham saya kwa fasilen We don't call him youngster anymore So let's just say Mount And Greenwood, I wouldn't play in that category But even so If there is one thing that we actually have to look at When it comes to the Arsenal game Or whether if Or should I say if They can hold the ball Because Arsenal Was conceiving Ali So let me say Shidambili Conceiving Ali and failing to keep position That has been a problem They do not know how to keep position Basically it looks like settling Yes, they are settled Bloomberg needs to call Wenga And then from there I implement Through his own strategies But all in all me personally I feel the game will end in a draw Because this is one game that Arsenal Do not want to lose And at the moment Manchester City Are not in their best shape ever So if there is a time to beat Manchester City I would say it would be right now But you do have to consider The fact that there are games That are critical Bloomberg is critical He has to play Chelsea, he has to play Everton And then on first he still has to play Manchester United It's a busy schedule But on a light note Y'all need to go and look at Eric O'Mondi's handle On this? If Eric O'Mondi is not in that category To go to Manchester United We appreciate the jokes Eric O'Mondi is my friend We appreciate the jokes And they are very funny I will check it out I will check it out I will check it out I will check it out It's been very fun Bringing all the sports news to you guys We really hope as you get into your busy Christmas schedule Please drink responsibly Stay safe I will always find a better drinking buddy That is my best advice Eddie was my drinking buddy in the middle of the month In the middle of the year I tell you right now Mkenda kwa na pira Find a better drinking buddy You do not choose him Eddie na zafanyam fukuzi kwa club Take me in January I have never partied with this man Eddie na zafanyam parti at the party All in all Kwa na penda rege I love you So for the regular viewers please stay tuned There is more to come and I promise you There are so much good things in store for you guys From us to you, it's goodbye We really hope to see you again here next Friday On set with me has been Edgar Bure Brand Meshuri and of course I have been your host Eddie Ogoe And from us to you, it's bye-bye And see you all next Friday
