 It is the touch line here on Y-2, 5-4 and Robert Osoro. Big time when we discuss everything that happened during the World Cup qualifiers. Who are the winners and losers of the first round of the World Cup qualifiers? Considering Kenya started with a 0-0 draw against Uganda Crans, while Mali won against Rwanda in that group. Now Mali is leading Kenya and Uganda one point apiece and then Rwanda with no point at all. How is it going to fare on as the 2nd matches will be coming up against Rwanda, Kenya is already in Kigali and also Mali against Uganda. We'll be looking at that during a seya on the fan zone is Eric Aganya. Eric, how you doing? I'm good, I'm good. I had a tough week in Kedogo. Lost a good friend of mine. My name is Shadrak. He was a good man Shadrak. We went to let him to rest on Monday. We really assisted so many young people here in the society uplifting them in sports and many other aspects of life. So it has been tough for them. But I understand you have been following the world of sports so much. What was the highlight of the week when it comes to sports? I have not called it a highlight but a disappointment because I expected the Rambestans to win at home because if you are drawing at home in a qualifier then that is disaster. When you go to Uganda we are in trouble. So that was a little bit of a disappointment on my part because I expected at least a two-need win. You said that it was a horrible show from Kenya. What are your questions about that game? When you look at the stats, Kenya had only three chances and one of them was on target. So you kind of think about the team having very skillful players in there but you just can't have a proper game plan to try and attack the game at home. You can't score goals at home. I don't know where the goals are going to come from. But I think the most disappointing thing was the midfield not functioning. There was no supply from the midfield. And maybe we underestimating the absence of Wanyama too much because you've seen this is one of the games where he has missed and the midfield was in shambles. We couldn't keep position for one minute, two minutes. Two touches we lost the ball. You can't win a game with such kind of a show. I was talking with my director Fadili when we were preparing for the show earlier on. We had this funny discussion that if this was the group of 2004 that went to the Africa Cup of Nations, that group, those kind of players, the likes of Mulama, the likes of the Mulamas, we had Musote. Like Ali Bragg, that team of 2004, if it was pulled in this World Cup qualifiers against Uganda, Rwanda and Mali, we could have made it to the World Cup. We'll demolish Uganda because if you look at the brilliance of Wan Simon Mulama in the midfielder, the guy was brilliant. If you look at the likes of Bonifas Ambani in the attack, look at Matthew Otomak, the confidence he had in Goal. That is, I think, one of the most confident goalkeepers we've had. He had a lot of confidence command. John Momururi was also very skillful and you look at that team and you compare with what these young boys are doing, you feel so disappointed. I think the federation needs to pull up their socks. We need to wake up. That one is a conversation we can never stop having about how we can make our teams work much better. But away from that also, Rwanda also lost to Mali. Yeah, I think it was expected. But it was a very good game, high tempo kind of football. We've all been thinking that Mali is a sleeping giant but they show us that they can play house on football or they are counter attacking. They are keeping the ball while they are playing nicely on the surface. It's going to be tough to get out of this group with Mali in there, to be honest with you. And if you look at Mali team, you realize that most of them are young people. And a team is built with the under 21. You look at the last youth World Cup. Mali made it almost to the quarter final semi-final. So they like building their team, the young team. And it's high time we have that and look at how do we take care of the under 17, under 19, under 21 and under 23 team. Yes. And that's actually where these players actually meet one another before they get onto the senior stage. I remember there was a discussion where the likes of Fabregas, the likes of the current players who have retired at the moment. They were saying that we actually played in the under 17 World Cup, under 19, under 21, before we met in the big stage. And the big World Cup qualifiers in Africa were also Ghana, age of the Ethiopiakates of Wakaso. That game also Ghana might making their comeback onto the World Cup. Ghana is what we call maybe a sleeping giant that is now waking up. But their footballing prowess cannot be underestimated. They have been doing well apart from a few years. I remember there was a time they pushed the World Cup almost to the quarters during the time of Samoan Jian and Suarez. Tafuia for us. It was expected now that they are coming up and the key is to build a team from young stars. Young stars, if you look at the kind of game they play, look at the kind of game Mali play, they put the ball down and they enjoy themselves. Because they are at that age where they want to one touch move, one touch move and it becomes awesome football. Big one there for Ghana also winning their first match against Ethiopia in their group. And then we also had another sleeping giant that is waking up, Chippolo Polo Zambia, two one against Mauritania. Yeah, and again you still talk about the same issue about them building their talents from young ages. Yes. Because I remember I think it was in 2017 when I was watching the youth team play in some games in Tokyo. Yes. We had these young lads that have made their way now to the English division. Fabrice Akala, who is a very good player right now is playing for Rangers. Then you look at the Pasondakas and Enokumuepu actually scored on that day. These are guys that have been in the team consistently and now they have come into the big level. And they are showing you that if you can boss it in England, you can actually boss it in Africa. Yes. And that's what they did. Well, they are trying their best there on that one. Yeah, Nacho of Nigeria, two nil against Liberia. Big one for them. Big one for them. Yes. Yeah, Nacho is full of surprises. Yes. And he is a good player. Do you think Nacho at least has relaxed? I think he is now playing his best kind of football. Yeah, when the coach was able to pair him properly with Vadi, then he is able to perform. Because you look at them, they are two different players. Vadi is a player who will not hold onto the ball. Yes. Needs one pass, call. Yes. Nacho will hold onto the ball and invite the other players into the game. So he can play as a number nine alone. Yes. And when Brandon Rogers found a way in which he can play both of them, you saw him flourishing. Yes. Because he is being played to his strength. Yes. His strength where he can hold the ball, make a pass and make a run. Yeah. I guess the situation has a big change this season because we haven't seen him in future for a number of games. The past three games he hasn't started in any of them. Yes. And I guess the reason for that is because of the bansas come back into the team together with James Madison. Yes. And he somehow left them with only one option to play forward and that should be Jami Vadi. But it's interesting to see the kind of run he is. And whenever you talk about Nigeria, it's also good to talk about the kids. Absolute fire. Which was also. They had some, they look like retro judges. Yes. The ones they used in the earlier years where they have some green strips and then in the middle it's white. Oh. It's got some calves in it and they look brilliant. I'm not telling us more about our focus on sports if you compare that with our limpi kit. Yes. They are polybols. But directors tell you that it's not the best as the previous one that they had. Yes. Maybe you could make a case for it but it doesn't fall down below the others because they always win in that discussion. Whenever you win, you talk about maybe even us and our loving proper judges. Yes. Nigeria is to be there. Nigeria is the best. Yes. You know I thought you were talking about kids when you told us. Kids. No kids. Yes. Then you lost me somewhere there but you have brought me into that one. We also had some other matches in Bapu, South Africa. They went on a draw there and also Mozambique and Ivory Coast also starting their opening matches with the 00 draws. It is the World Cup qualifiers. Will it be the same for Africa in Qatar 2022 where we see our usual suspects Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast making it to the World Cup? Most of them, not all of them may make it to the World Cup but I'm putting Mali there also. I'm putting Mali there. Yes. Because as we said, Mali has been building from down and these kids are curling of age. Yes. And they cause a lot of problems but the usual suspects maybe will have two or three. Yes. But we are seeing suspects like South Africa they are not going to make it. I highly doubt. Ivory Coast started in a shaky manner. Yes. They had their rows off pitch because of their federation and elections. Yes. And you see that affects the team eventually in the preparation for this. Yes. I'm even talking about those now to cap it off. Algeria also they won easily against Djibouti 8 goes to nil. But for me the biggest story was about the two players are playing in Europe right now in Riyad Mahrez and Ben Ranma. If you realize they had some blonde hair when they were in England and going back into that game against Djibouti. All of them did not have the blonde hair on. So they decided to go up and check what happened really. And it was so interesting to realize that Jamil Belmadi who is the coach of Algeria told them to get rid of the blonde hair. And they turned back their hair because they believe in some Algerian tradition. Well if that is what it's working then it should be the case for them. But it was good to see Ismail Slimani score a heart trick in that game and also Baghdad Buneja. A guy who has been scoring lots of goals but we somehow don't credit him for the goals he does. But Algeria definitely are going to be there and then being close to Qatar probably. Whether he's chosen. I've been right there for Algeria. I've already got one fan in some guitar who probably is betting that Algeria will make it to the World Cup. But before we finish on in this World Cup conversation we are going to go back and talk about the transfer window wendo and the winners and losers here on the farm zone, because if we don't talk about it, we'll never talk about it. Fani transfer window that came to Anandere? Good finishing, especially for a team Manchas United. They brought back Cristiano Ronaldo. Disappointment for Rian Madrid. They didn't manage to secure the services of Mbappe. And also a good transfer window for Chelsea. Yes. We remember last time they had a problem with the finishing. They brought in Lukaku and they also brought in Sol as a cover for Kolo Kante. Yes. Because he can defend and also push the play forward. There was a discussion that United wanted Sol to guess, then all of a sudden he goes to Chelsea. Yeah, he was supposed to come to Manchas United. You know what happened, because it was last minute and if you look at it, he went to Chelsea on loan. Atletico Madrid really wanted him off the books to balance their books. And I think, I don't know what happened with Manchas United. Maybe they got overwhelmed by the Cristiano transfer and forgot to cover. Because I thought he could have added a lot of potential, he could have strengthened the team in Manchas United because we've had a problem with midfield. Could have really come in to cover Fred. Or removed out of the team and he comes in because he's a player who can hold and also move forward. And Manchas United, I think, they fell short because they lost on the Anki who went to Real Madrid from Rene. And then now Kama Vinga and then they now lost on Sol. That is one area they needed to strengthen. And even the other guys who have been mentioned like Ruben Neves from Wolverhampton and also another guy who has performed very well this season, West Bissuma from Brighton and Ovalbion has been performing well. And maybe to that fact that probably Cristiano Laldo made everyone go crazy. Right now when you visit Manchas United Twitter page, it's on Cristiano every six hours is possible for Cristiano Laldo and you will not understand what is going on there. But for CDM Manchas United has been something that we need to work on. Right now it's Maktumini out. Having Fred, you look at the games he had against Southampton. He was clearly put on skates by a very young playing developmental. And then you look at the other game against Wolverhampton. Wanderers, Trinkau was all over him. That should be a position that we should see. When you look at the winners, we can talk about Manchas United. You can talk about Chelsea actually being in the winning side of this one. Parisa in Jamaen being also on the winning side when it comes to this year's transfer window getting most of the best players experienced and for free. The likes of Ramos, Guen Ladham, Messi, all coming in. Let's look at the losers. Asano, will you put them on the losing page or the winning page? The losing page of course because they went for Ben White. 50 million. 50 million that I think that was a ripoff. Yes. I think it's perhaps 30 million. Yes, 30 million. I think they didn't perform well in this transfer window because they didn't bring in what they needed. And what they needed is an established player, an experienced player, a team leader in the dressing room. They didn't bring in a player with a winning mentality. And you see that in the past they've lost players like William, they've lost players like Belarine, they've lost Luis in the past. And you don't have those winners. And then you don't have that player who rallied your team behind. And if you look at last season, they didn't do much from losing position. When they concede the first goal, there are very few games they came up and won. So you need that player who can rally. You need a Cristiano Ronaldo. You need maybe a Sergio Ramos in that dressing room. Who will tell this kid, let's go. Let's do it. And you saw it against Man City and they are playing Man City. The first five minutes, they had the better chances. They could not put them away. And then the game turned. And the people they are relying on, like Shaka, are the ones who are making mistakes and getting red cards. A friend of mine is telling me that, as you know, they also lost in the transfer window because they did not get a good manager. Well, maybe that could be true. And I think it is true. I mean, you go back to some of the decisions he's made, not only on the field, but even off pitch. The way he's been talking about the players that he has let go, even Mesutosi himself, I don't believe he is a man who should have left that team. And again, you look at a guy like William Saliba. He was being sent out on two consecutive loans to send it here. Then he went to Marcel at Nice. Right now he's scoring goals for that team and he's keeping clean sheets. Well, right now they are using chambers and collasinas in their defense and you wonder what's the problem. The same case applies to a guy like Quendozi, who left the team. Right now he's scoring goals and assisting for my sale. You wonder again what's happening to the club. But for Mikaela Teta, probably that could be the reason because you look at how he's fielding the team, collasinas should not be in that team. You look at how he's fielding up. For example, you look at Chelsea game, for example. Chelsea are playing Abak 3 with two wingbacks in there with Alonso and Rich James and he decides to play Abak 4. Comes in the second game again against Machia City without a natural number and he plays Abak 5. Shambles everywhere. I think maybe he has no option. The players he has, he's using what he has. But they want to let him go. Talking about also losers, let's not talk only about us. I've got another one in mind. Barcelona must also be losers in this transfer window because they have lost Messi. Messi, they have lost Antoine and Chris Wan. And they have pulled Samuel Umtiti over the road and he's been staying everywhere. It's been bad and that's something that was coming in because of the bad management they had over the years with Batomeo in charge. And I know it's coming to hit them that they are over the Salari Cup, they need to release players. It happened for them last season, they let go of Luis Juarez, went to a direct rival and won the league with that team. If that was not enough, they are now lending in Antonio Griezmann again to the same club again. We would expect them to win the league again right now with a very strong starting 11. Lionel Messi is gone. We have not rely on Asufatiwe's now the number 10. We haven't let go of a guy like Coutinho. We're still in part of the team on high wages. Same case applies to Usmande Bele, whom they say that has visited the doctor many times and he's been on the pitch. Don't understand what's going on in Barcelona. I think at the time I think early this year we discussed Barcelona and we said that they are in trouble. For the next three years they are going to suffer and they have to go back to the dream board and build a team for them. And I pity Kuman because he's going to have it rough for the next three seasons. He's not going to win anything. The building up has a long side. He's not going to win anything because he doesn't have the players who are good enough to do that because they brought in players with a lot of money, Usmande Bele, who has not even assisted them. And the games where he's been fit, he's on the bench. And when he's not fit, he's with the doctors. They've lost Lionel Messi, who has been their talisman. And that calls to player power because when you read the grape finds you realize that Messi was calling the shots and now he's left. And I read somewhere that Aguero was bitter because he went to Barcelona to play alongside Messi and Messi left. And I think also when you talk about them having a weird transfer season, let's not forget the fact that they have remained with Brother H and they have signed Luke Diyong, a man who played for Newcastle United, who is now being part of that team in the front. Meralem Pianich, whom they signed, has now gone to besiktas. A transfer deal, the swap deal that was never understood in this world when you swap Meralem Pianich by taking out other, who is younger actually. Well, big one there that is everything that we have been talking about in the transfer. We've been talking about also quickly as we finish this conversation, talk about strengthening your rival so that you can beat others. How come Manchester United has to sell gems to leads? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not what we have but we also did. Yeah, we had to sell them after beating them, so. And gems will assist leads to beat our rivals. And you find that, really do you find a team selling to a direct rival? And that's where Barcelona baffles me. How do you sell to Atlético? We've seen in history, in history in Manchester United, there was a time Gabriel Haynes wanted to go to Liverpool and Fagason said, no, we're not going to directly strengthen them. It can't happen, it won't happen. Look at the case of Harry Kane. Daniel Levy refused. We're not going to strengthen Manchester United or Manchester City who are directly our rivals. So, that's what baffles me in Barcelona and Arsenal. Arsenal sells one pass to Manchester United when pass becomes the top scorer and you see, it shouldn't be happening. They're actually even talking about the big winners. You will have to put spas in there because it's not only the players that you bring in but even the ones you keep. And Daniel Levy was really praised for that move where he blocked the move from for Harry Kane to move into Manchester City. And again you look at the signings that they have made. They brought in Emerson Royale who apparently the royal name came in from a character who is in the sweets. But apart from that, they also brought in another golkeeper in Golini from Atlanta. They brought in a defender. They swapped a deal from Eric Lamela who wasn't really helping the team and they brought in Brown Hill with an important prospect for the team. I think that was a good move by his partner. I also think the best signing was the coach. Nuno was the best signing because Nuno has a way of managing with a small budget and you see he's the only one who is unbeaten as per now. They have nine points on top of the league and they have not had easy games. And they are going to chase for a top four position. They will because look at what Nuno was able to do with Wolves throughout. He brought them up and he kept them up. Finish seventh without bringing in reinforcement. Look at the players that he has been able to uplift. Nobody knew about him. Adam Matrore, nobody knew about him. They can be attributed to Nuno. So I think the biggest apart from the hurricane story is getting the right coach. You understand he was not even on the shortlist. Yes, he was almost a 40-second guy. Yes, he was not even on. This guy was making me confused. He would have made me confused if he was not on the shortlist. Except Nuno. And again maybe to that time. And I'm wondering why Asino didn't go for him. They should have gone for him. They should have managed that team properly with the budget they have because he has experienced in those areas. And maybe even to that Daniel James effect I don't know whether you're going to forgive a fan who thinks this way. Daniel James was wearing number 21 for Manchester United and they thought that this would be a very good opportunity to let go of Daniel James. Harvard is on the cover and he wears number 21 for Uruguay. Comes in, wears number 21 and leaves number 7 for Ronaldo. Maybe that was the case. And you would forgive the board for doing that. That's a manchisa United. And there's a rumor that the queen also requested for... No, that's not a rumor. It's true. Yes, it's true. And that speaks to the volumes that Christian Rolallu is on a different level. No matter how the pandits come out like Mr. Gaby Abonaho who came yesterday to say that Hurricane is better than Christian Rolallu picking in a cup final. Christian Ronaldo will remain to be the greatest of all time. Living the transfer conversation aside because we look at it and everything that has been happening and coming back to the world cup qualifiers more so in Europe Christiano came back also in top form in the game they played against Ireland. Yeah, Christian Ronaldo even before he got to him and to condemn whatever happened in the game against England the racism. We shouldn't be talking about that in the 21st century and these guys we should have a docking of points we should have, they should be banned the teams should be responsible and they should be forced to play in empty stadiums so that we show the world that this is nonsense and this nonsense cannot be tolerated. Coming back to Christiano Ronaldo Christiano Ronaldo has 20 different records that he holds and that is not a mean achievement but what I like about him is his spirit and his winning mentality remember in the game he lost a penalty and came and scored two and to Shamrook Rovers got it Yes, so you find that in a game, if you play the game of football and you lose a penalty kick it dampens your spirit this guy it doesn't do that this guy it lifts him more so I think he's a winner and he's going to lift up Manchester United and he has really uplifted the game of Portugal you look at the time he's been there they've done exemplary well Yes, and to that record actually he's played the last 52 matches he's got 53 goals for the national team and just to add to that he's got a way of silencing the critics because every time they come around and say that he's got tired legs you see him scoring two goals in crunch time for the team he is on a different level really and you look at even his body I guess that's something that many people look at when he was 18 and right now when he's 36 bodies look similar it doesn't seem like he's going to slow up anytime It's back to where it belongs that's why he says so and when you look at the Manchester United line up it's scarce on paper and on the field of play with the kind of players that they have at the moment and being in last season think four semifinals making on to the European final never winning it Cristiano might be that last spark that comes in to win that trophy Ya, not only Cristiano but also Rafael Varani if you look at the game against wolves his organizational skills his covering of his fellow defenders and his communication because that is what has been lacking in Maguaia Maguaia doesn't have the pace and he's good but he doesn't have the pace Varani has the pace, Varani has the command and the experience he has played at the highest level so we have two players who have come in who have played at the highest level Jordan Sanjot and Ali Eji played at the highest level so the Manchester United dressing room is full of winners and Cristiano Ronaldo is going to score a lot of goals that is for sure and because with the supply that he has look at how he picks those passes imagine Pogba picking that pass Cristiano Ronaldo will score and that's a very good headache for Oleg Anasosha to have right now with lots of qualities and the depth that he have probably you want to see whether Misson Greenwood is still going to continue play for United starting position but also to on a light note and he has started very well in the league and even the reports coming through is as he has won the August play of the month which it was deserved because every shot left foot back of the net not much as three goals crucial goals because the game schools is the goal that won the game and those goals are the ones that win the league those games you win one nil and it's also interesting to see him not get into the England national team but for a very good reason by the family and Manchester United for him to have come up with a decision for him not to feature because he had lots of stain and for him to develop his career slowly I think it's a very good move for them but on a light note about Christian Aladon that came against Ireland we should thank him for ripping the jersey because it gives him time to trim a big one there is the World Cup qualifier Spain lost their first World Cup qualifier in 28 years they have never done so against Sweden also another team that might be tough for them they might get to the World Cup yes but the journey there might be longer for them it's a team in transition they've lost their legends the likes of Gerard Pique Ramos, Ritari and they're bringing up they're building a new team and when you're a team in transition you're building a new team it takes time even at the Euros nobody expected them to make it to where they made it to the semis and they'll struggle to reach the World Cup and even if they reach there they may not do much but in the next two or so seasons they will be up because you find that they have brought in young kids who need experience, who need time blending remember they had a team that had blended for quite some time the likes of Kina under the likes of Kina Iniesta Xavi, Ramos Devivia it was a compact team but all of those are no longer there so they have built a new team it will take them time but again it was so interesting also to realise that there is not much of a difference that you've seen from that team to the one that we saw in the Euros in that they failed to convert most of their chances and that's something that they need to work on because right now they are playing with Gerard Moreno off-front with Alvaro Morata and Faran Torres has been good for Machia City but they just struggle to score their goals it gives a chance to Sweden to qualify in front of them and you read the newspapers and you feel like there is some kind of a shock to the nation that they might actually fail to qualify to the World Cup Yes, well Jans are falling big Today you are really surprising me I'm thinking spend not in the World Cup and it's not a good show I read the newspapers but they are shocking because they don't understand That's even what the fans are thinking of the Spanish team because they are looking at the quality they have a guy like Sergio Bato still in that team they are wondering where do we go from here because now it was a big surprise also that Pedro didn't start the game and he lost everything in the middle of the park Let's finish up with Italy but I'm coming for them Bolgeria after winning the Euro I think they are tired they are still in a celebratory mood because whatever they achieved at the Euros was not a main fit and nobody expected but I think Roboto Mancini has a way of bringing back the team the draw is a slip and they will come up and do it Even talking about that actually it was a record for Italy and Roboto Mancini because that marked 35 games without them losing a game which extended their record to I think the Brazil team of the 2003 and then the Spanish team that you are talking about not everything is lost for that team but I guess there was a start that this time around they had a Milan player and they didn't win the game so I don't know what happened You got Belgium that usually does well in the World Cup qualifiers not in the main stage itself defeating Estonia 5-2 with Lukaku having a press in that one Lukaku will score a lot of goals and not only for the Belgium team and also for Chelsea he is a good finisher despite a poor first touch he has a very poor first touch but he is a fighter what baffles me about Belgium and maybe Netherlands is one and the same thing how come they never show up when they expected to show up because if you look at the Euros the World Cup there nowhere to be seen the qualifiers they will hit people 5-2 5-1 6 nil and on paper they have a wonderful team if you look at the Belgium team on paper you will be scared and now I don't know if Matine is unable to to lead them through that I don't know but it was a good game also for Lukaku but against Estonia for me they were shocking and how they defended there has been that goal that has been replayed over and over again Lukaku got the ball and he backed off the defender almost 3 times before just standing up and shooting a goal the level of position they played against for them having considered second minute good game from Hans Vanaken who is proving to be a very good player the same case to Foket with a good game too I think Belgium will always beat these teams in the qualifiers and even Lukaku himself he waited for him to perform against Chelsea he didn't don about his pedigree when he has come up with the big boys tough one there also German Hans Frink also starting with a win against Lincestina 2 nil, one and Sanne at least he won a squad that has been a problem maybe the previous coach was the problem now that the new coach has come in but why I think the German team didn't perform well because they had nothing to fight for because the coach was going and I think the change of God has brought in new blood new injection we need to see young people coming in and the old God living slowly edging out the likes of Mula and bringing in more of Leroy Sanne and Genabri to come and pull the strings and true to your part actually he is bringing on these young lads when we talk about Jamal Musiala who is now the biggest star coming in from Bayern Munich he had an assist in that game via Leverkusen in Florian Witz also coming in Adeyemi being brought in a left back also was a very good player Riddle Baku from Wolfsburg also very good for the team and also to see a player like Makoroiz get back into the team it was so interesting the biggest take away for me was Robin Gosens he's got a very bad injury and I hope that he's going to recover soon finally one player was in the transfer window but never managed to live here he might sign a pre-contruct in real Madrid in January he was going to be killed by Mbappe Paris and Jamal I think he was really disappointed because he came out clearly and said he wanted to live and real Madrid I was reading on my way here they had 7 different countries for Mbappe they gave it the last push and they made a bid of around 220 which Paris rejected and knocked it over so he's a player who really wants to live and maybe in January he will live but if you look at the first 2-3 games he's been the atalisman he's really performed so he was putting on a show for real Madrid he must be very disappointed wherever he is but then I don't know what that speaks to what we have right now in football that you can have a club like PSG with all the money that he's got real Madrid are ready to offer around 200 million euros for him but for PSG being the wealthy club they are able to knock down that contract knowing very well that Kili and Mbappe will live in the summer for free I think it was a power struggle between the 2 of them that one wanted to stop the authority and say hi we are real Madrid we are the biggest club in Europe and we will take your best player but PSG this time round came again and said many singers the wealthiest club we will retain our player yes big matches that will be coming your way today we've got Ireland against Azerbaijan Serbia versus Luxembourg Finland versus Kazakhstan and then France will be away to Ukraine that's when they will be kicking off their World Cup Qualifying match against Ukraine mostly done for France they can win this one for free no it's not easy it's not done because you look at their last game they played against Bosnia and they drew one all again we talked about the post mortem of the euros and Ukraine was the best team one of the best and also we are talking about whether France will remain with Didier Deschamps and the decisions we've been making once they drew that game against Bosnia as the stories emerged again Didier Deschamps is not the right man he plays in Jules Kunde at right back for him to have had a very nasty tackle on Colasina which has an old fan celebrated and I don't understand why but for France they really need to win this game and I don't know about the combination between Benzema, Griezmann and Bape and now Bape is injured is going back to PSG that was the 7th game and they haven't seem to take that should be a concern I think the coach has overstayed and he should have left after the euros they should release him and get hold of Zinedine Zedem and also Edink also even if I'm a fan of Real Madrid and I love Benzema a lot I think Olivier Giroud should have stayed as part of that team as that central number 9 who was at the ball and created the chances for the others right now it does seem to work with Benzema front tough one there for France but I think it will be the best game of the World Cup Kulferas considering that Ukraine made it to the quarterfinals of the Euro it will be the best game to watch today it will be difficult game actually because Ukraine are not a pushover and they are going to give France a run for their money and France is a team that is disjointed at this particular moment because the coming in of Karim Benzema has pushed Griezmann to play so deep and it's not working it's not working and also playing Thomas Lemma right now with the form that he is on right now is not really good for France lots of things to ponder for Didier Deschamps but for Ukraine they look really good and I would expect them to give them a challenge I remember in the last game France won 2-1 but it was a real struggle so maybe you should expect the same but again what you should expect this weekend I'm still waiting for FIFA to come up with a statement on Hungary and the part so we had on that performance with that I guess they are called the Cabernet Brigade it was poor from them not only in that game but even in the Euros no game should be played as Puskas Arena I'm trying to look for the results of the rugby game because we have come to the end of the show I don't know which one is going to be there but last one you checked what was the score? I left it at 6 nil Cabras leading at that time thanks to two penalty points by the player we were just mentioning there and you told me it was early 8 minutes before we should believe that it's still early for the game we hope that it's going to be an interesting clash and I hope to go home and watch it that is where we leave it here on the touchline today thanks a lot Erika Ganya for coming through and some guitar here who was my co-host today I hope you have enjoyed it I've really enjoyed being a co-host probably the first people who have been listening to me you want to say greetings to the people at home probably not we'll put in a good word for you I'm Robert Osoro enjoy the rest of your viewing and for the technical team asante sana good afternoon enjoy the rest of your broadcast here on Y254
