Are you Happy with your team's result as we break for International break

Of course. Then of course Manchester City Manchester City [laughter] sometimes truth is like pride. So >> and then of course Manchester United >> Manchester to the top Manchester FC. >> Yeah. >> Anyways, [clears throat] what has happening you know locally you're looking at the Kenyan Premier League was said to start on Saturday but due to some legal issues and then now we don't know like things are concerning this. >> I think we voted members. So I think Premier League at least by Yeah. Yes. For those wondering why concerning the promotion and relegation playoffs because Karangish who finished 18th 16th actually last season they were set to play a playoff against the second the third placed team in the NSL that is Mombasa United. But according to the to the rules that were introduced by FKF, three teams from NSL, the top three were you know they got the official promotion to the to the Kenyan Premier League and then of course the three uh bottom teams were also relegated 2019 rules were not used. As a result, the court in Moranga watches a playoff but at the same time we don't know but I mean these challenges will they affect our preparations towards 2027? Yeah. I think let me tell you one thing. It's not about >> Yeah. >> The all problem the former >> FK president >> FKF president >> former try could bring up the issue so that sharks could be in Premier League. No, he he owns the the team. Yeah. So, you get in with this kind of problem. >> Mhm. all the it's high time for the Kenyan Premier League to know their stand but this is an EPL if it's not FIFA Let us stop and know that we don't have a Kenyan Premier League. >> Yeah. >> But it will it will really affect us coming 2027 game. >> Karim. [laughter] So so so FIFA that is the football federation in under under the leadership of Jan Infantino bars governments from you know getting to interfere with what is happening as far as football is concerned. So that is why the government has you know has not taken part in you know ensuring that these issues are sorted but as a as a result now we are looking at the FKF Premier League going to you know a third you know month without you know starting and we are wondering what will happen but another league that has already started is the women's premier league but uh you're looking at some of the teams that are already played their matches I'm looking at the Kenya police bullets the defending champions they started quite well by beating you know Bonga Queens six goals to nil. Let me get your view on this regarding to the the women's Premier League on your side this season. I hope women are very teams. I hope >> all right matches that were played yesterday got a draw of 22 against Queens. And then of course you're looking at uh the under 20 who are participating in the SEAFA AFCON qualifiers. They were also defeated by Bundi two goals to nil that was on Thursday and then on Saturday they got a draw against South Sudan and as a result to Meondoa. So we won't be competing for a place in the AFCON under20 tournament that is set to be hosted in Ghana later next year. Kesa >> what is happening as far as the under 20 is concerned because on the women's side they're doing they're kind of doing well like they're performing well because the under 17 world cup and 20 the rising starlet are also you know aiming to qualify for FIFA World Cup I 15 to 17. That's what we like in Kenya. The previous likes of 23 in the next tournament. Yes. >> All right. Uh Leon, is it a missed opportunity for Kenya under 20 to qualify for AFCON under 20? Of course, uh Gilbert Celeb was you know in charge for the very first time speaking after you know getting uh after the team was was you know got a draw against South Sudan. He said that it is his first assignment and he's ready to ensure that they bounce back in coming years. I think uh the thing too uh with these uh girls like the under oneize in Kenya we have a lot of good players outside who are young. I saw there's this guy in Manchester United called Zero. >> That guy is so good. Like they are still young, but these are people that as a country we could start now trying to >> bring them. This guy is good. Look at someone like you know Kenyan. So And then let me try and get my chance if I'll get to represent England. Now at the end of the day, let us start going for these young people. try to convince other team and then you see someone like Ben bring these people also can I go and look for yeah scout other players who are in other country because one thing I know yeah Kenyan football is growing but when we see like in Europe we have better and good clubs these are footballity the way brought up it's so so good to to the fact that they can play anywhere other Let us go and bring these young people to include in the same team and then at the end of the day like the the coaching and so and then we come and try to bring them together with our local >> and and to try to try a place like [snorts] >> but uh still in matters youth football the under 17 junior tallets are are in camp currently you know preparing to take part in the FIFA under 17 tournament that is said to be hosted in Morocco from the 17th of next month to 5th November. Of course junior starlets are pledged in group E alongside China, the United States and some more. And according to Mildred Dece they aiming to go past the group stages where they did not manage to advance in 2024 when they made their debut in Dominica Republic. How will it go for the junior stallets? Of course uh junior starlets they've already named the squad and Che has maintained and retained the players that were you know influential for them to qualify against South Africa getting to win five goals to two in total. So I'm looking at the junior states in the fifth under 17 tournament. How will they perform? First of all, Keith, >> your view on that and of course will we be able to perfect our results from 2024 where we finished third I mean third by beating uh by only winning one game. >> Yeah. Yeah. I think now I think now now Kenya has Kenya has a better opportunity to win. >> Yeah. to qualify for the to go to the knockout knockout stages and I think like we are the we the biggest team in East Africa. Yeah. >> Yeah. We the ones who are representing East Africa in general. >> So I know I know for a fact that we will win and we will perform well. We will be outstanding. We have seen we have seen performances of late. So yeah, all right against China. I think you team All right. The tournament is set to be hosted in Morocco for the second time. I mean, you're looking at uh the matches that we are playing currently. The team is set to go for Spain to Spain. I mean that is uh on Friday for a two week camp before they depart to to Morocco. Such preparations you know performances in national team as far as the competition is concerned >> I think like choosing Morocco was the Spain was the best idea like it gives them because it's like Kenya Uganda like so like someone who is not used to this weather in early preparation two weeks and before the matches like your body fully adapted to the weather. So and then Spain they have good grounds field. So how to train in such amazing and better equipments and facilit Yeah. So like that's one thing that the government it's so good because these ladies have a chance to experience at least by the way two days to the match. So >> but this one is a good uh good thing that the government has done. >> Yes. Another thing that maybe we could want to see with the junior states to period the government came in and said for every win I mean should should the same same same things be done for the junior states before they depart to Morocco. How how important is that kind of motivation for them before they participate in a competition like this? >> I think motivated. But in general, I need to get that 1 million. I have to do this. >> [laughter] >> 2 million double it. >> All right. >> The same thing was you know done for the seniors that is Aram when they were playing in the Afon tournament in Morocco but results were not coming. I mean should it be a copy of what rising did in Morocco as far as you know the competition is concerned but at least something to motivate the Maybe that's I So I think [laughter] all right of course this competition will be played in Morocco from 17th of next month to 5th uh November. Of course, 16 teams will be out to compete for, you know, glory in Morocco and we are wishing for them, you know, to go and perform well. And as always, I mean your predictions maybe I think stage. >> Mhm. China round of 16. Are we not serious? Not like But these are teams most of the teams qualify for World Cup. So they have that experience. It's hard for you to come once and beat it. You get what's your view on Okay, obvious can do it stage I know for Kenya >> right away from football let's look at what is happening as far as volleyball is concerned because uh our men's side that is Walme stars were all out in Tunis Tunisia for the KV men's Africa Cup of Nation, the tournament that is also used as a qualifier for FIVB World Cup and of course for ALA 2028 qualification. Having you know played two group stage matches and they were beaten by by by Tunisia three sets to nil and of course they lost at the hands of Ghana three sets to nil. Yesterday they played the round of 16 match against Algeria and they also lost three sets to nil and as a result of stars are now you know aiming to to to play for the uh they won't be competing for qualifiers for world championship but rather they'll be playing for classification matches where they are set to face Angola for the ninth place uh you know place finish as as far as this competition is concerned and I'm looking that the performances that were witnessed from the women's side that is the Malia strikers comparing to what are doing I mean totally different I'm just imagining I'm expecting to. >> Yes. Before we get to discuss matters European football still in in another story that is you know making headlines. Agnes Nich shattered the women's half marathon. As far as you know the world road championship is concerned. This particular event was hosted in Copenagen, Denmark, where she finished first with a record of 1 hour 5 minutes and 15 seconds breaking Paris Jeep Chirill's record that she you know recorded uh two years ago and then of course Kenya managed to finish to finish one and two as far as this competition is concerned and as always when it comes to matters athletics we are really really you know getting to to do well and of course This one is coming after us winning the bid to host the 2029 World Athletics Championship. For the very first time, this competition is being hosted right here in Kenya, right here in Africa and of course Nairobi being on the center stage as far as athletics is concerned. Keith, I mean I mean Leon29 World Athletic Championship. I feel so good at most of these Europeans they have been coming to train here in in in Kenya. >> Yeah. And then they go back during the the marathon and then we go there. [laughter] you get uh that's something that it it grow the economy of Kenya you know like having uh what do we call it African uh African Cup of Nation in Kenya >> even if it's being hosted by three countries but having it in Kenya and also hosting the marathon of 20 29 world that one is going to grow the economy of Kenya and on the map. All right. >> Yeah. So, it's something good. >> Okay. Let's finish this by looking at what is happening as far as football is concerned in Europe. And it's a sad day for Arsenal fans and Chelsea fans and Manchester United supporters because Chelsea on Friday were humbled by Brightford three goals to nil and then [laughter] on Saturday goals to nil against Brighton Manchester United in a day they scored two goals but they ended end up getting one point. I'm saying this one one as a as a result. So after after five matches, one point every game that a team that is said to be for I mean as a result of weekend Manchester City because they are the only winners as a result of this weekend because now five goals to three against leading the log with 15 points after five matches and can We say Manchester City are all out. Yes. >> Your view on his games leader. So Manchester City played yesterday against I think >> [laughter] >> It was a good game. [laughter] So, it was a good game. But it was a good game. [laughter] They played well. They won because Leon as a Manchester United supporter I mean what's your view? What did not work for United yesterday? Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool City. >> Yeah. about [laughter] as they had a bad day in office. >> Mhm. >> They just had a bad day in office. I think were so focused. They knew who they were playing against Manchester United. I think I remember United you cannot go to a new season without you know signing defensive midfielder a defensive midfielder you know and an attacking midfielder an attack minded midfielder because United >> but I think one thing to look We needed [snorts] to is a leader. He knows what to do when he has the ball. When he doesn't have the ball, he knows what to do. So that's what Man United is lacking. Is a good player. That's a perfect idea. But now with he's still young, you get he doesn't have the voice other players what to do unlike what used to do. Yeah. Ka on your side. I mean Yeah. Keith confuse. >> Yeah. Yes. Yes. On your side as a Manchester United supporter. >> Yeah. Can we say as you know as I mean Manchester United after five matches we expected them to be you know 10 points 11 points have a bad season again. Yeah. No, we have [clears throat] I I think very hard is playing well is playing well is playing well striking because we need a good number it doesn't >> [clears throat] >> N don't have number nin number n I don't get the point as good as a caretaker coach Anyways, [laughter] let's let's look at the table. Manchester City after five matches 15 points. Arsenal number two after five matches 12 points. And then Brighton 10 points after five matches. Brenford nine points. leads United Npool nelse [laughter] and then of course Manchester United number 12 five points after five matches and then total spa >> with everything they did over the summer >> 400 million >> number 20 now two points you know away from their English Premier League let's look at what is happening in La Liga because the Madrid derby for the second one. Romero [clears throat] [laughter] is playing like I don't know Leon. I think for the two red cardigan. [laughter] All right. >> So other matches that were played as far as the La Liga is concerned, Real Solidad, you know, got to win three goals to two against Valencia and of course our very own Jog doing what he does the best, you know, assisting for your game. And then Zilia 1-1 and I'm looking at Barcelona of course against Sevilla three goals to one and what a form N is in right now. Wow. [clears throat] World rankings. You see, but right now he's now showing what he can do with the ball. Yeah, he's a very he can play anywhere. Yeah, he can play number 10. He can play right wing. He can play left wing. He can play striker. He's a very good course. You know the talks 21 points after seven matches. Atletico Madrid 16 points after seven matches. And then of course Real Madrid I mean Real Bis 16 points, Real Madrid number four. Yeah. What about social media? >> Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. >> Mhm.
