the one with portugal back in 2016. and then a premier league season has barely begun and already manages a complaining about the wind to welcome it will be for me, a huge impact, emotionally and physically on the guys who go to work up. so just woke up, happened to roll for the wrong reasons, ah, walk along, let's get straight into where it is. we have lots to get through in this edition of well, how down your it provides more teams to the tournament than any of the other continents . there are 13 in total at this time around the last 4. well cut when is have been from europe. and here's how that line up in november when the greek faith gets on the way. as you can see, there's at least one european team in each group, but no more than say, we'll take a closer look at that. ac germany spain clashing in just a moment, as also found out your appealing housing. great. be with england and wales. well, let's bring in heavy straits. why have a you know what? it's like when walcott you were victorious with spain in 2010. what are your memories of that womans? well, with memories, of course, we will in the time, if you can, you know, with a play a work up it's, it's amazing. we didn't start where we play the netherlands we. we lost the 1st, the 1st game and we snotty. see the 1st game lose, you know, but that made us stronger, better team. and i think that was one of the reason why we wonder the time is it we come through we, we play well and of course, to play i work online. i was very young, it's a dream that a can't even dream. you know, it's something that you, you cannot bring up. and, and i feel very lucky, of course i, let's look at the, the current spain squad. what do you thinking about that? johnson's in katasha, she didn't have enough to win a 2nd. woke up. i think we have a very good team through that where they are little be jung player and it's not easy to perform and work on. you know, we would have to see how, how they play, how would they perform in such a problem and like i work up, but they are playing already be games with now with our mother is this young player . and we will see i am a big fan of the coat of loose and rick, i think he can handle the, the team and they were pretty well. and we will see, i think they were up, his difficulties are not the toughest group. the 1st big was your money and i feel my gold there's going to be tough, but i think go study going up on i think spring can handle like to work up. it's one game and everything up and get money so, so it's always a toss team. good man, they are brave, very strong physically also. i know the coach has if he was my call to him in band and he likes to play to play the ball. he likes to keep the ball and i think it's going to be a fight to see who, which thing keeps that. well, you know, i think both teams $1.00 to $2.00 at the ball and i think that it can be one of the keys of the game. and if i can just bring you in and ask you the same question, he's going to win that game. spinal germany, it's a tough one. hobby's rates are really tough, one to predict jammah the one thing you know about germany and i don't know how to do it. happy button no matter who the playing, preach on them and they always arrive, are actually ready. you can always rely on the germans getting woke up from day one . after i think gemini, i stole progressing. i don't think the quite the finished article, but they've got some good experience. you know, got a couple of these. these typically can make you are so important and woke up to have a bit of experience. have you talked about the young spanish se, so it's important that the people that get the experience and others help the young kids. and i and i like what they've got at the top end in the pitched a before once i got you know what, albertson and val not, and ms. yolanda and others. and kingsley coleman and leroy sunny. i fake gemini, have more options at the end of the fetch than, than spin hub. but we're gonna turn our attention now to the defending champion, france baron creek de, alongside last year's iraq, 2027 finest deadlock australia antonia. but let's focus on today's, on slide latasha, but the report from paris france is 2018 world cup thick tree was celebrated no one hard by french purple friends. no friends are among the favorites to win the tournament again in keta. the squad has yet to be revealed, but it's likely to include to the world's best attackers. killian and pappy and carrying benzo ma'am? oh, i'm bins. it might again, in the shop showing you it was a karen benz about pretty much one, the champions league on his own with rome, latrete and killing him. but pay by singing peers. g stays in a club. he knows it gets rid of any doubts. and unless he was to be injured, he should be in good shape in katara. the fronds team has all the players. you need to have a great woke up, but a key will be whether they can play well together. holler shout if there's little doubt that a 3rd world cub. when for france with sony, inspire a whole new generation of, for boys at this, i'm at a club in paris. hoops a high for france, victory? ah, natalie foot normal, but we love football. so all of us coaches would be really happy, as it would motivate the children, because the french team before would show them how to lead. yeah, the cause of his care. i'll watch the world cup with my dad. i like this game. that's why i play and i was hoping doesn't baker. i'd be pleased because it's my country and it would be a miracle. the last time a team one consecutive will cops, it was brazil in 1962 as raining champions. france will be under increased pressure as they defend their title, but they'll also know that having done it before, they could do it again. natasha butler al jazeera paris france 1st one, the woke up back in 1998, but in 2002 finished bottom of that group of intrinsic i was part of both of those teams. he's, i would out a 0 that the current scott has the quality to go all the way and retain the trophy to see the front of the team to be because they're the world champions. they got great quality individually. and as a team, i see them getting to the final, even though the competition will be intense by facia, me killing him, but i use the figurehead of that team, even if this quality throughout the whole squad. he's going to be the player who will really show his qualities. i think he's going to have an exception. a well come on. say davin truck. they're starting pretty confident about his country chances and him and ask you this one for so many people favorites to retain the trophy. but they will also favorites to the or last year i had a pretty disappointing tournament by the standards. how would you expect them to perform in katha better? much better jam? i think they didn't expect to do really well. the probably expect it to go all the way in the year or said they were really disappointing. some of the big players didn't turn up. don't know why, but he didn't, but that if you're a footballer, that will make the play as well. they are more determined to have a really good woke up this time. right. and when you have someone like kelly and bobby, and i still forget cutting benjamin. i mean, to the best front man and, well, football you can argue without when you have them. so i was, you know, conceding goals will always have a chance to win. whether that be the well, i think to be the favorites. but not all the teams that can beat them, but i think i can understand why a lot of people think that france could go away and have an edge of mentioned carried ben's ma. he's having a fantastic time for them. i mean, one of your former managers colleagues, lottie, lovely as manager from the grid of quote him the best in the world right now. how key is he from his success at the moment? well, if we talking about player for me, friends, his favorite, it's as he said, cut him killian, her also in the defense. not only i think the defense they have be placed and cut in fear. he continues to blame, lay ladies and his play in our, in the last 56 months. he can be the key of the tournament, not only the front between them and because he's for me, the best player that we're right now. and then the last, the whole year has been for me to not be a one year when you the last year. i mean the best better than and then the other. she may opinion for papa. he's been out for the tone and he's got an injury. andy, if pauper isn't fit for the tournament, how much of a miss would that be for frank to think? well, it depends. which popo turns up jemma if it's suppose by that's played for it in my mind. chess united then, you know they're not going to reference 111 with france and one, but it wasn't who played in the last world cup refunds then they will miss him. tetra yeah. i think i caught him and gimme an important yeah. you know. ok, where he has to play best. yeah, he plays with the friends he plays with sunday, the know he's the late in the world. now we're going to move on talking about christiana going out. i surely only has a one more chance to win about come with portugal along with the unless the rinaldo is probably still the biggest thought and well believe not the age of $37.00. he's one pretty much everything. a club level with manchester united around withdrew and events. if you want to europe in championship with portugal in 2016 but like messy he's yet to claim the biggest prize. and while football that show you that grants unfortunate qualified for the torment by the playoff, and we'll line up against gone a year ago, i am south korea increase age. and even now, do you watch the premier league week in week out is having a pretty turbulent time in i to right now. he reports that he wants to leave the club. if he doesn't get the move away before the transfer window closes, do you think that could have any bearing on how we perform in cut off? he'll want to play, there's no doubt but that gemma and you want to play more than he's doing at manchester. united. he'll want to stop football matches and they want to play as much football as he can, keeping his body as they can at 5750 years of age. and i think that doesn't matter if he plays a bit. he plays a lot. he's going to be underscored, they're not going to leave him. going to going to you have given as an you haven't played enough games, christiana, so we can take you. so he'll be there. can he drive them? i don't think he can count against weakest aids. but i think when it comes to the quarter finals in the semifinals, if it comes up against some of the, the most strong nations, i think that he may struggle and, and the tournament this congested as well, have you of played again for now doing? do you agree with these just said that he might possibly, i don't know in the latter stages, i think for the can be this replace of the agree. it's not on a rather very good team. biggest stars or so young players i mix between young and old players and i think they can create programs to i think all the teams . so i meant but we will see ho his here as you said, how bra lo her up to that one. i'm and i think we know or another he will be for sure. even if he doesn't be in a game cube, if it's he will, if it and he's big to die, he's always ready for time to call games for a woke up. he will be, he will be there for sure. my case, for example, a when i feel better is when i play games, you know, up to the 1st month of the tournament of the league. i don't feel a 100 percent. i feel after tomorrow, you know, maybe because i'm tall and i need, you know, i'm this kind of explicit player. i'm more like a be silly, you know, not the no, goslin, and i think i just kind of this different is most that he's abused and i think even if he's the monthly weather, he will play a game. but knowing or, and i'll go, he wants to play everybody of every game, but that's why yes, that's the, that's footballing animal that yes, desire to, to be the best. and he achieved. how well from portugal, how his man to wales its main man, garris bale. he's preparing to leave the country to the bus, woke up in 64 years. it was his deflected free, kicked secure that place at 2025 in the playoff. mackenzie crane, which means the 5 time champions league when it now gets to play on football. biggest age ad wales are great with england, the usa and around land. the funny thing about rivalries in british pitbull. admittedly, the rivalry with england and wales isn't the kind of intensity of england scotland to england, germany. but still it's going to be all the game isn't. absolutely. so you think is going to be more find out the england with a whilst they both robi, i mean will to be find out more because they will be the underdogs. no one will expect will pop from the various players themselves in the funds. most people will expect england if they play to their capabilities, that will be, will cause quite simply they've got better players. the only thing that what we have angland decide look at, look at them and then from the uterus, which is that glucose, they've got a bunch of really, really talented football us really talented, good age and, and nearly as of the patch that you need to met field, and particularly the top end of the patch. what, what, he's me as at the other end. if the defend well then i think and good could go really find that you on that, but you have to defend, well, when you say ready for you talking, when us sausage lands i scores were saying good with i think because you know, europe, i think you could get to the final again. okay, there you go. okay, well i have a word on garetsville. so do you think there is a team at this world cup that relies on a single player more than wales rely on garth bell? i'm going to be honest with you. i think got a bit is the only will split. i know not really. i don't know. give you another one . you will know him. i don't, rumsey, i know i know him. i didn't watch me again. so with this he us about it is in top form is one of the risk certainly will have a field comes up and plays and is a good woke up. they may get out of that group and will be easy for them, but they will be focus. and i don't think it's whether they be england on the, obviously the usa and around the 2 games that we will focus on the as to when them, if they took a point from england, they'd be delighted. well, i think a lot of people are looking forward to that much unlike the rest of your family has never had a winter break on the prospect of it is made manages like new pools. yeah. club very unhappy. what effect will the change really have on the league suppliers on the wild card itself, pool race report from london? this is an english season like no other. it started early, it will finish late with an unprecedented 6 week break in the middle for the world cup in kata. i'm not getting the state so i know that we got top competition. that was around the world of a subsidy is required by law, single one of these for men and to be broken. it's nice to be honest, i think by them already being relegation about unlike other european leagues, england never has a winter break for managers. the hope to their work is causing heated emotions. i was not angry at all if i came in, but when we, when we start talking about it, i really get angry. everybody knows it's not right. this well happens the wrong moment. for the wrong reasons. club interests decide what is the impact on the players? normally when a well kept kicks off place, i've had little time to recover from a grueling season with their clubs. this time, at least in theory, they'll be arriving in cats are in peak condition. the condition may not be quite as good when returning to their clubs. it will be a huge impact emotionally and physically on the guys who go to world cup so they will come back, trained, physically drained, but also mentally. like with big success with big emotions, positive emotions are huge disappointment for the world cup itself. the momentum could mean better performances and better matches. it's a quick turnaround from last premise. ship game on a sunday to when we plagues. we won't meet her to talk them up with regards to training sessions and and look at what minutes they played last as the biggest different for us. i break the cattle 2022 may be bad for club obsessed english friends. good for the players. but for the clubs, but as another heat wave hits london, no one can be totally certain that future well cups will always take place in the european summer, or even if they're held in europe. paul reese, al jazeera london or guys, he just had from thomas eagle and young copper. and if you've got any sympathy with these managers, the told you think that to see, sat down with that and accept the situation. great is exactly what they need to do . and i think that from my recollection, gemini also went to break. yeah. we had a break to the went on for a crops clubs, cooked with that. what the scene about there may be emotionally physically drained . possibly a few team gets to the final. but these guys have been coaching when players have lost so many players to the african cup of missions every 2 years. they go away for 45 weeks in january and come back. okay, i guess limit, but would say, well when shall i came back. his disappointment of not, not getting the african confirmations losing it. he affect the time the sad jamante came back and he was blew up. we wanted, i'm busy. so i understand we sit, but really jama and the world where we have 25 players all capable of playing for steam for it. well, for the teams and only 2 teams will get to the final, we don't know how many of you are good cops players will be and not fatal if any. we don't know yet. so i can understand where he's coming from, but don't have any sympathy. no, we should try these things, like the players themselves who are going to compete, woke up as a, as was reported. there they arrive. fetch up the new bill of ever be did you lose the quality of the football you think we're going to see perhaps the best quality if we've ever seen it, i woke up i hope to play. well, let me tell you that the players will never have arrived, major tournament, and better physical condition than the roll fish. and my challenge, of course, and make your oldest to him and make is that the best form was in november, december a go. and just quickly about the, the quick turn around. so the, the, the main european leagues, they're finishing through the walk up 12th, 13th of november. so some of these teams may need a baby ending and a have like 7 or 8 days before that 1st match. how will that affect them? not getting with the national side sooner while weak is enough? i agree. i think sometimes you can have too much time. should i sit in a hotel 2 weeks to think, you know, i get up again another training session. and i actually think that the shortness of time is better for the guys gotta cut. they are 4 or 4 months in come, i guess regular my goodness me, i would have you well go that time to professionally. they should be winning the time now to catch you up. and what's been happening here in this country castle, where there's now less than a 100 days ago until the world caught kicks off. it was brought forward by one day for africa thought to play in the 1st game now now face a credit on november 20th. along with the opening ceremony, there's a huge excitement. it was building up over the last hold years. but under days ago, you can feel it, you can touch it, you can taste it. i think it's, it's, it's matter of just, you know, the final count on the way with well cut. finally, sal stadium is held, its fast mats in the domestic cattle styles, lake, 80000 feet. the facility is the last of the 8 stadiums to be completed, ill stage at 10 games in the torment altogether. the stadiums have been designed to help me organize as a chief echo, stating the 1st carbon neutral woke up the touch of the name reform carbon dioxide, or c o 2 emission sword to a record level. last year by several indexes. cut our ranks high globally when it comes to c o. 2 emissions per capita. this november, the gulf nation is pledging to host the 1st ever carbon neutral world cup. who lot of people will gumble together by it? but the activity is hidden. cutter is design in such of it all the emissions associated there will be a limited emissions and this emissions will be balanced the layout of stadiums over a small geographic area means once vans land in cutter, they'll travel a relatively short distance by metro electric bus or car to matches in stadiums built with sustainability in mind. after footballs from your spectacle is over. the c o 2 emissions during the $28.00 days will be offset by investing in carbon credits. but a report by carbon market watch says, cut our 2020 two's carbon neutral plan is misleading. and based on what it calls creative calculations, it is highly unlikely this will help is going to be cohen you draw. it is not a credible claim, and there is a big risk that is going to missy, the bone. it can to think this has no impact on the climate. when actually doesn't, does the organizing committee says cut hours? historic ambition should be recognized. not criticized. it points to the almost 1000000 square meters of green space created and a new solar power plant that will generate renewable energy for years after the tournament ends. we stop by our planning. we stand by our calculations and we stand by our plans to offset what's remaining in the best possible way. with the best information that we have a team from cut, our university will be setting up whether monitoring stations and sharing the daily air quality with fans during the world cup. the hope is it will spread awareness about the impact we have on the climate and how to reduce our carbon footprint. natasha name el jazeera doha. heavy. i'm interested to get your take on the compact nature of this world cup. so you've been to our cups in south africa and brazil, so that would have involved a lot of traveling between fixtures. so i want to know how much of a game changer is, is going to be for the players to have such short travel time. one of the things is we have the most just the travel know the in. so you got, remember we had like maybe 3 for our slides. then also the road was, you know, not one of the best, but here it's 20 minutes to go to a study on to did 5 minutes. you go to the training field. i think this is going to be a big impact for, for the fantasy, for the pri, this is going to be very nice and i said as fun, you can watch 3 games in work up. i've never happened this amazing. you say the impact on the players, you mean in a physical sense, perhaps recovery between much as you know. so yeah, it's true to fly at 34 hours after a game is not the not the best. you can go directly to the hotel. the rest is much better before we wrap this up. having ask you 1st who is going to win? ha. i know what he's going to say. no, i know you'd like to win the ok. i think i, i tell you my wis and i tell you, okay, my yeah. jessica? yeah. my wishes got his baby up, but i think i if i have to bit, i will say argentine argentina. okay. andy, i think argentina will go close. i agree with you 100 percent off. if i was choosing a team to when they woke up, i would go with most at the moment at the moment and see that i think france will be the team to be okay. yeah. well, not long to wait to find out if any of your predictions are correct as well. cut me off in november, harvey and the thank you so much. but if i'm on next month, it will be switching confidence to focus on the north. central american seems to be heading to cut off as we get ever closer see november's main events. and of course out there it will keep you right up to date. every step of the way. ah, architect is like god because you created, shunning a career and building for glory. yes. mean laurie shifts her attention to the design district and regions of pakistan. building upon traditional techniques and arming people with the knowledge needed to sustain their societies. rebel architecture, a traditional future on disease. when the shuttle came from the holiday in the 1st cracks, we heard some noise. this was new in a sniper alley, was on in the most dangerous intersections in his sod able he didn't come in through the front entrance that was will happen to the people who were shot they came in through the wrong entrance. the nightly pyrotechnics of to funny to turn to the camera man said it's good they'll out of you sorry a vo holiday in war hotels on al jazeera. ah, ukraine says it secret services didn't plan to carbone that kill the daughter of a prominent supporter of the russia.
