In Rio Good morning Jim. Good morning good morning everyone and we hope he will be joined by the spring book Judy I'm ugly shit over in Africa any questions in African football and pleasure Morris what I found hopefully me has he done a bunk. Means you know presidents from what kind of countries these African countries are he says they're wonderful countries but sometimes it's telecommunications does less hold down. Yeah I'm going to say right here on a bank Well yeah yeah. Yeah it's going to he's going to say the line he's going to say no to punk. As a way of they said. Let me just say very quickly I'm not saying what prison terms and I have an African I don't agree very very No but we still wait for Greece and hopefully he will join us and the communications to the United States offer less doubt as well that's why we've got you in South America rather than North America you knowing you're. Carrying a flag over south exactly So tell me this quarter in a minute yeah all your loyalties ever told between Brazil and England. In what way in support of football do you support. No I mean as a wiser man the Miss elf once said you can put a dog in the oven but I've done my kid a biscuit English. For. Boy the English education systems and most the things are. From White Men Can't Jump it's always makes me a. Good writer that. You know I'm very grateful to Brazil been here now for me 5052 years I've been here now for 23 of them so we're moving towards going to half my life one side and 2nd half life on the other and I'm very very grateful to it but I don't I don't really understand these people who. Their identity merges with someone new I don't really or like people who really really support a football team in somewhere else move somewhere else and I really become avid supporters of that same my i'll think of very strong sense of my own identity and that's that's a very English identity so so that doesn't change but in terms of being as I've never been a great supporter. With football I grew up it was very very much a kind of father to son thing and mild mannered I love football and he immediately was a Navy man always a great disappointment to him because I was expected to come along and realise the dreams that he wasn't able to do I think he had trials for Charlton and you know even but even he couldn't get a game with that lot you know so we decided to you he wasn't he was going to be a professional footballer but he was never really was never a supporter Reeky could never really get into that totally passionate supporter frame of mind you always had a kind of quite an analytic was an educated man he had a very analytic view of what was happening on the field and he kind of passed that to me so I've never really been a kind of diehard real supporter but I suppose one to answer this question the last time this was put to the test. Was the recent world under 17 Cup when when Brazil played England and it was a great guy when I was delighted it was a great guy not for me was the most important thing but I was always plays in England one well we have got Mark with us and I was pretty lucky Jean a good morning good morning to you you see what you made me do you made me actually say to people among could be with us shortly very very shortly still way you know Mark and eventually will get mugged and we finally got you African meantime do you want to explain to people that is. A London most. Has not nuts and I would great to have you with us Happy New Year and all of that same to you guys. Straightaway 080-859-0969 extension 3 clear apologies if we made you wait a minute but you know what Mark's like good morning. I'm going to. Cup . They treat. Special. Looks especially things clear you remember every year I think there's kind marches on the less we remember these things the better it will agree with us you know. You may. Say that Nigeria's playing. Wembley. I was wondering. What. I think success but I think a good old Nigerian name can hear a. Name 6. Years how. Are they to be full strength I think I mean 1st of all it's it's right around the corner from the start of the World Cup So that's you know it's and the and the measures now are limited in terms of the games you can have in order to put your best 11 together for the tournament but the real thing I think we're Nigeria particulars it's such a prestigious friendly you know you don't go to you know going to Wembley and mark about you go to Wembley with your with your with your strongest side and it's made to see what Nigeria. Sort of many revolutions are all revolutions perhaps not the right word because this change that the African confederation of made as far as the next. Set of internationals in March is concerned that the next window it was supposed to be a round of qualifying games for the African Nations Cup but their next match is actually gave the Seychelles certainly not the right kind of preparation that you want before a World Cup So they've managed to persuade the caf to postpone that entire round of matches the everyone concerned in the mood the. Central October and allow everybody to play friendly so 5 Russia bound African sides can get better opposition in March so I think Nigerians are playing Poland not I think it's been 100 percent secure that nobody wanted a friend in March in these England in. June the 7th and 2 more games to still be fixed there'll be a quality European and South American opposition and then off to Russia so kudos to Nigeria for putting it off for. Me looking to be a lot better prepared and perhaps African sides were going to the World Cup in editions like 1994 weeks. Is that what Fiedler Oh yeah. Thank you thank you for the call as well Happy New Year that this is a this is a point that I've heard you might mark recently that there seems to be a difference about Nigeria this time in terms of of organization how much do you think that this will have an impact on what happens on the field. It's a job you want to say to him because you know that there is no sort of correct Mexican particularly in African football in terms of you know how to do it and how to do it properly and then and in the results that come out of it I mean that the great yardstick and the incorrect yardstick is 9090 Cameroon I mean they didn't have a single international friendly and remain one of the best performing African teams in the World Cup finals you know they went to Yugoslavia all Yugoslavia played 2 matches against club opposition big internal wrangles amongst the. Amongst the players big fight between Thomas and Kono and Joseph and one bell about the number one jersey and on paper given the way they're prepared were said to be absolute rubbish and I mean they turn out to be. Massively glorious moment for African football we've seen well compared African teams do very poorly we've seen ill prepared sides do a lot better but you know I think times are changing No I think you've got to do your homework properly and. I think everyone in Africa is really pleased that everybody seems to be particularly serious but you know we take I think it's true of Asia and the other sort of so-called could world confederations are with you nobody takes the tone set by the major nations or world football we live in a global village yeah it's really an interesting point actually because I think there is a sense certainly amongst those African football is playing in Europe now that they want to win the World Cup but they get a very for their countries as well and maybe the countries are also. King You know the possibility of winning a World Cup much will seriously I would hope because when it comes to an arm it is with us as well in London Ahmed to morning good morning and also how you know I'm I'm very well thank you one of my bros King warning warning. For both Mark and tomorrow night. Full lock I want. On his opinion on the Kenyan national team. It seems like they cannot qualify for the nation let alone the World Cup and I was thinking why is that the case when they actually extremely popular the Premier League 16 you put up with that. Wants to know much financially better off than some African countries that qualify for a Cup of Nations I don't know what is Kenya. Who is a coach of Jim. To my wants to think about this. During the World Cup in cities like. President. None of those cities have a serious. Player in the 1st division so I was like if you have a big stadium that have teams last a man and then lesser extent of the damage. Both about relocating to those like they do in American sports because like so many of them immensely have been have been marked not a problem like the aid of the sun to some task of the government even though they do have stadiums it's like $17000.00. Crumpling by the looks of this I just want to know how does that ever been the goal to really take some of these traditional real so policy. You centralized like I'm like a big city like will to live. Like a serial. Printers and then go anywhere. You know very well you know I will tell you I'm you know that shows it's that time will come to the question mark in a moment. That there's absolutely 0 percent chance of relocation and relocation the the American thing that you talked about is just utterly 100 percent foreign to the way that football is run here and these clubs the clubs that you mentioned are huge Lee traditional clubs with very very deep roots in the cities of Rio and Sao Paolo and Santos and so on so the idea that they would they would they would. Pick back you know pack up and March across and relocate thousands of miles away is totally foreign to the idea of Brazilian football and I don't think anyone here is ever ever even suggested it what the sides have frequently done is taken some of their games to these new stadiums. This however is being stopped. At the clubs met last year and that they decided to put a stop to this so you can't take games to. These that these grounds which which has a basic logic behind it it affects entirely the logic of the ethics the integrity of the league system a league system is based on home advantage and playing away you know all of the teams of 20 teams they all meet need each other home and everyone who travels to play such and such a team travels to the home stadium of that team and plays that scene there if you start taking the specially Brazilian who are a lot of games being taken to Brazil you know it can be a neutral all sides especially towards the end of the season sides where effectively selling their games to these new stadiums and so it was their home game but they had nothing to play for particularly so they would sell it played in one of these stadiums Brasilia or or one of those where it would be a home game for them anymore where they would be out and their fans would be outnumbered by fans of the opposition and that clearly. Infringes the the integrity of the league system and since we're not going to get relocation on the kind of American lines I'm quite happy with this bid this bid which is coming to stop teams moving there at their old game because the only way there's only one way that the stadiums in these cities are going to become viable only one why and that is if there is a local team based there with roots there becomes popular enough to fill that stadium on a regular basis and if you get Yeah but if you get kind of visits once every 2 months from a glamorous team a glamorous team with lots of history from Rio or some pilots liking to going there how can the local team compete if you know once every 2 months are going to get a big team so I think these visits actually make it harder in the long run for local clubs to establish a to establish a support because these cities that you're talking about they're all big enough in theory to sustain top top level teams when they're far far bigger in population than lots of them even Manchester for example many of them a bigger Manchester and Manchester or even before the money from the from from magnates in this part the world that part the world now Manchester was supporting 2 big teams year after year after year and lots in the hinterland of Manchester as well so in the long term the only way those 2 items are going to be viable is if local teams based there with roots in the community become popular enough to fill in a regular basis and can you can yet tell us about q. So it could realize that I just add to terms the bridge to what he said because we have exactly the same thing in South Africa and the difference a little bit is that they there are stadiums in established cities with established teams who still look to draw in other teens the biggest size from Johannesburg Kaiser Chiefs for example the most popular team most of every year. Play 3 or 4 of their home games in Durban at the big stadium there and get paid to do so by the municipality because they feel it does turnover revenue for the for the city in terms of all the fans coming in for the particular game and it keeps the stadiums busy you know the big fear in South Africa was that after 2010 most stadiums would become so so called white elephants but they really have used them a lot. And a lot of it is on the basis the terms just explain and his argument is very interesting to me because you know that on the one hand from a sporting state he's an absolute right but only on the other hand particular in the country like South Africa moving those games to go to Paula Kwame and the stadium particularly bombero where they don't have a they don't have a franchise or they did they had a franchise but it no longer exists you know it's still it's an important way to keep stadiums in the condition that they were left at the end of 2010 which I must say to you to the pride of most Africans is the case you know all of those venues are still going strong as the grounds of magnificent The stadiums are still to draw condition and a lot of that is because of the system of paying teams to come and play there particularly in in some of the smaller venues that we use for the World Cup. On the subject of Kenya they haven't been to the Nations Cup since 2004 I'd say that they are the England of Africa. Perennial underachievers and. It's true you know I mean it's a country with a great economy. Limping dominance in that lead except where they've certainly got the prowess and they've got a fairly strong domestic league they just don't seem to produce any decent footballers. And maybe they are one Yama Now as you know is the sort of role model that might lead to a more exciting generation coming but it's a head scratching exercise not only for the rest of Africa but for Kenyans in particular why there is. It's such rubbish Well I didn't mean to cut you but leasing to make it into the European Championships not to sell you one out of. You expecting Kenya to make it to the European Championships and that would be our couldn't. Care less what case I was going to say something else was no no my head now but remember when we had the willful fighting 23rd of as a few weeks back I remember all those artists yeah we got members of pasties Germany the peloton actually memory to anyone that they were gone ya just turn me back yeah. I'm guilty as charged. We had loads of pasties sent to us free of charge by the great Simon in Coalwood he listens to us every week as he's breaking these passes and now has decided to join us for the willful vote in Simon Good morning. I mean even Yeah good morning even though he's passed he's went down very well I must say whenever we. Got somebody. Point out a big thing. That does who doesn't. Way I grew up you know if you don't you know if you don't eat straight away you know. Exactly well and we never even gave you s
