a. nice field with superstar. football is not a game of life and it is much more. it's about deciding the best footballing nation in africa there will be this time around maybe egypt will benefit from playing on home turf of plus they've proven winners in this town about right chris. barrows for the record she did be it was simply didn't come full maybe he'll be defending champs cameroon the football support. how about nigeria who last lifted the title 6 years back. for his life ever. feel you need to know about the africa cup of nations here kick off life. let's talk. about this years after. the 2019 africa cup of

nations. it's a big earth did its ever being. 24 teams playing for the same prize this time it's a summertime kickoff and the fans like always excited for the tournament it's feel . your passport hope so we're going to africa to talk to experts and football foodies to see who they have their eyes or. they'll come to the party on this time we don't know when it's in egypt kill him let's be real whoa it's not the best looking statue of most forgiving can playing now. for ever humble the goal celebrations are crazy you don't want to miss and. it's coming. here are my 3 reasons you better not miss the 2090 africa

cup of nations reason 3. a cup itself is coming to egypt the pharos are the record champions with 7 cups to their name. hosted 4 previous cups and the pharaohs won 3 that's a 75 percent winning percentage their last victory was in 2006 egypt wasn't even supposed to host this year cameroon was but they couldn't get things done fast enough so hosting rights in egypt at home means the chance to see home field advantage in the advantage will be few. to turds painting you like goals right. the african cup of nations is the best goal. celebrations ever.

more goals were scored in the last after the last gold cup other tournaments might have scored more but there's a big difference here at the after. every goal gives you moments like these. have caught historial football fanatics for over 16 years always dressed in fire and colors to different cultures will surely be something to see and listen to. now before i get to the number one reason you better not miss the africa cup of nations here some that didn't quite make the list recent half crown winners are jinxed 2013 winners nigeria fell to qualify in 25th the ivory coast one in 20 feet team then got booted out of the group stage 2 years later the last winter cameroon

almost didn't qualify this time that was close anybody could wait and i mean anybody more than a handful of this year's qualify femurs have won it some more times can buy i mean for a total of $1000.00 cups. and if you know not as magic touch would make another good reason to watch the african cup he won in 2012 with zambia then in 2015 with the ivory coast suv years later he fell short with morocco only reaching the quarter finals were not magic be seen again with morocco. reason one it will be a star studded event ok the biggest stars of them all mobile. we really missed out on seeing him on the world stage he is for his country at the last major tournament. thanks to this guy secure g.-o. ramos the enforcer hurts all the shoulder before the world cup well sol is back

and he's looking forward to playing at home and defeating his liverpool team mates sabio monday. oh teammates turned rival. there's also the 2016th african player of the year algeria is riyad markets sadly will miss out. here emirates obama beyond the star will miss the party didn't qualify so we have stars all over the world meeting in egypt to see one thing who will shine the brightest. before i let you go let's go back to africa to talk to more experts queasy sports in south africa football foodies who will win it all. might come as a shock but i genuinely believe that could do it think they could pull pull it off

. as a solid team from when they went to the world cup and even how they qualified for the 2nd cup of nations maybe this is that time to claim that. in the continent. i think senegal win the 21000 if i look at their performance at the awards cup vivid i'm like you know to have progressed out of the group stages i think this time around if i look at the quality that is there you look at the local course that is also good that understands how to play i threw them according to this time around. and lift up the 21000. 3 reasons you better not miss the. africa. what about the reigning champion we sat down with cameroon can't seem to defensive

. tawdry to find out if a repeat is on because. probably the biggest the most important sporting events in africa this summer. my colleague a 2 dogs week for the tournament the africa cup to the concert. on the. 100. 9400 ccs i'm a young. pool.

but i think. it would also. michael and cameroon look sort of. africa cup of nations favorites egypt she won 27 seems like. to me maybe up to 4 more. subject before them when i. think a much better mob. could more. if you know. why. they going to yours. well he should be able happy using you know we didn't happen to your premiums are going to be with us.

tonight oh my god oh my god i won't be using to use you could you know that is on the cycle of. a little bit of my you know does awful lot to be said to death because then. he goes on to say that you may even if his game perceives the way they really do much either and they have really done a major government work of songs that you saw their total called me. my kids played for historic club slobby approximates 2016. he left the time he initially came to germany to study civil engineering and we should yes i'm not a preacher but 70 from his i. don't muschamp a good looking at battery. park i see him going. through again before it's easy to see if i meet his or long. ajmi surely got a man disappointed glow plug is

a. lot of my kids sure do i see every so months when the. news will juki my book will be a big i don't know. how much he'd be able to pay for a little as a surgical intervention since i leave the top 5 in the quote money so someday a woman came before she comes across real to us because you know when you're going to marry the posse have them because you and you. sit through so much. they get off what they could do to the ministry what they could you provide you know complete b.s. your record to take with you without lovey and with albuterol mob boss us on 1007 on your own big dance your son put in for most you know it move on paul. to people morning experience from fabulous jeanette. will be as you would imagine if you're

supposed. to make of him every day. so i think you put me. in him alone but to me j.m.s. he pursued you need to move through school it made you think. she teams you miss receiving a lot of money and it was old recruits to. 5 cards quite cameroon the 2nd most successful team in the tournament behind egypt. but you also wait 15 years for their 5th wheel having lost 50 trophy in 20031 to german coach with. before 40 called me in a new release you know a couple when i also if you click on one yourself if you take our money elsewhere for the it because i don't know people come home they say if they come back. on you know i'm going to. see them if you go and i want to go on

a complete shock. people can make all kinds of movies quite young don't go to downtown i going. to be can have a can of soda is the most repugnant. congress often play will come on our backs or poor fellow. see. the big deal. i will see. some. poor come as it becomes so sweet to sit there surveying after nobody on so much of course. on the new consumer may go see anything with them. once you know cameroon was replaced by. fish stadium some oil infrastructure. moves safe. route for his own bubble through this book to loop we come up with a man. on the cheap doing to phone him up to teach.

us to. make a bill put mushroom got among. the pot you want i want it will be for middle class youth who. told us because of what of that. i make the long gold mine coupon pour. through all the biggest competitors mossies you give us you can if every she didn't have a double in the jeep to be old and. she doing ok anderson i got. my dad on my daddy's walk isn't she doing any luck would you walk upon buying them i hope that your music. you know. when they go. with 24 teams the 201912 months is the biggest in history but what's the status of african football so in the morning for you we will

go to market with most here for you. on enough. me me me. me me who don't. have any idea. that me so he's over there so they keep. saying. i mean you he and. me. they did is they keep me busy keep. me. we. love. will do so used to construct a. nation

that has its share of challenges but maintains a rich tradition just how good all the. security 7 most populated country in the world. start shooting black gold africa's largest producer. and start shooting place of africa's richest man. there is a dark sun every. day the army fighting. corruption has been called the cancer they're fighting the issue just like you did but the glass. is half full 2.

football is life. ever standstill football is not a game of life and. it is much more. sit down with the nigerian legend and the sports journalist in lego. all shaking up the grass roots we need to start from here and at the top level to see how nigerian football be shaping up football is a simple game but in nigeria football is far from simple. to learn more i'm starting with j.j. ok skill so nice they named him twice here's a flashback the best gold in 1903 gold key for no other germany's however. as part of nigeria's super eagles dream team coach i helped win olympic gold in

1906 he says. he was in nigeria. president the pressure was on the next generation the right repeat. the super eagles most recent achievement was 6 years ago when they won the african cup of nations so why hasn't the national team continue to soar to new heights. well i think we have to change our mentality a bit you know and change all beliefs because. so trusting in our time and you know. good enough you know to get a result we need to be maybe what paul when it comes. you know with managed to be successful in by just. continuity.

just for me. you know if you don't plan for the future then you're planning to fail despite lack of planning. nigeria has. all unbelievable talent. feeding into the national team. the dream team as they call you in the 23 just qualify for the final face of the qualifiers to be the championships in africa talk to me about the state of nigerian football. from the national team perspective successful. because 21000 is a year where you've got all the national teams competing in major tournaments from that perspective you want to say the fans are excited but then again when you talk

about football in nigeria 1st it should be about the league just like here's a glimpse of nigeria's probably players. sometimes years without a piece out. of this money. that you know. you come to. even be diplomatic oh boy you know. you have to invest to be able to be successful when it comes to when it comes to the local the think we're so good because. one of the issues is that most of the clubs belongs to go well you know so people are running to clubs really the shows and you know so. that they get every year from the government to run the club which is not to write clubs no money no chance to show.

so much talent and go play as you like to go watch. they don't have the opportunity to have their talent broadcast to the entire world but when it comes to local football it almost doesn't exist so when you go and look at the grass roots you see some pitches don't even have grass. is it's all wrong everything is money and money probably. for all. we need to start from here you know draw for greece i spoke to nigeria's head coach on the phone. grassroots. very important especially for nigeria. geria khomeini young people and they like so much the football they must have the put you need to play the former super eagle turned academy coach. who explains the rundown pitch.

find the best sport you have to have to try to make the team. little to no resources this a get to be still produces prospects. you need a little time to grow. most of them have to get up just one on one month to month to month would see the time friendly matches on coffee day i don't get it. just like you. have been hard be opportunity to play. for a very long. i was a spitting to see horse emulating what they put in place. and despite of the war you know you can't play football without having a good training pitch right now so we need the infrastructure of the government's reach as we've learned runs deep when it comes to football they owned

a lion's share of pro teams as j.j. said they need for different. structure he's staring you right in the face so who is it words like corruption have been thrown out there you know lack of finances i mean from your perspective you have somewhat of a bird's eye view over the entire scenario so how would you. describe it you got to see the administration and most times you've got. people who are using the statement square pegs in round holes and. so much talk about the sports minister for one and i'm going to use him as a scapegoat for my analogy. not one who many consider to be a technocrats but he's one favored by authority heil authority and hasn't done much hasn't caught himself in so much glory doesn't mean he doesn't like sports bar different where you have someone who's played the games. so what's the remedy better educated football administrators taking

a page out of what's been successful in europe i don't think anything is cast in stone physically. many would agree but i think we're a developing nation you can't compare even nigeria to the rest of africa and i'll make reference to south africa egypt how sports generally is run. far cry from what you do nigeria it's a child's play at least extremely professional have had opportunities to go and see and when you come back home you just you begin to wonder why do we do things differently and personally i think sometimes it's base or an ideology and how we think. sometimes nigerians are responsible for our problems. problems but what about solutions before i leave years. african nations. we have a young team without any. not very very great. but

. i think out of the group. to go for. my only scratched the surface a solution to believe the super eagles hire is far more complex than a handful of interviews. might take you to certain level at the end of the year. and so when not having things that is needed you know to to go all the way as i said at the start football is a simple game but the state of the sport is far from. does why people like course are coming back home or you know where we. live or legacy where we can help on change things. did you know kick off is now on you tube with the world of football. with nigeria and quadro mexico in the world to read we travel the world can really feel how high

prices are running i'm going to say no to start me on they never give up their culture and just get football i am crazier it's. been explained to. me as a football kick off on you cheat. missing you.
