:00:33. > :00:37.Good good morning, everyone. Welcome to Match of the Day Kickabout. It's
:00:38. > :00:42.my debut in the hot seat. Very exciting. Here's what's coming up
:00:43. > :00:47.for you today. It's Arsenal and Manchester City and
:00:48. > :00:53.we look back at their nine-goaler thriller from last season. Tim
:00:54. > :00:58.Vickery gives us theiodown on Manchester United's new signing.
:00:59. > :01:03.Preston striker, Kevin Davis, takes on Sav's Big Mouth. The Premier
:01:04. > :01:06.League took a break to make way for the first round of European
:01:07. > :01:10.Championships qualifiers and all the home nations were involved. Scotland
:01:11. > :01:14.had a tough start against Germany. They came close, but hearts were
:01:15. > :01:20.broken by the goal-scoring machine that is Thom mass Muller. -- Thomas
:01:21. > :01:24.Muller. England won against Switzerland. Northern Ireland beat
:01:25. > :01:28.Hungary to secure their first away win in four years. And finally,
:01:29. > :01:34.Wales just beat Andorra, 2-1, but win in four years. And finally,
:01:35. > :01:38.had to be Baled out, see what I did there, by the Real Madrid star who
:01:39. > :01:41.scored two amazing goals. Speaking of Wales, Chris Gunter has been
:01:42. > :01:41.giving of Wales, Chris Gunter has been
:01:42. > :02:15.to be part of the Welsh squad. That was awesome. I wonder if Chris
:02:16. > :02:22.would let us stick a camera on him for the next game? Oh, that's not
:02:23. > :02:25.allowed. OK, my guest this week - two absolute superstars from South
:02:26. > :02:29.American have arrived at Manchester United and we wanted to find out
:02:30. > :02:35.more about them. It's lucky then that we have our own expert to
:02:36. > :02:38.reveal all. We can talk about technique and tactics and selection
:02:39. > :02:44.all we like. You don't necessarily one the World Cup with flashy
:02:45. > :02:50.opening-day victories. This is the biggest humiliation in the history
:02:51. > :02:54.of Brazilian football. Here he is. Tim, welcome to the show. Honour to
:02:55. > :02:58.have you. Lovely to be here. Our viewers, they obviously know about
:02:59. > :03:01.you and have seen you doing your World Cup commentary, but I have a
:03:02. > :03:07.few questions for you. OK? Fire away. I need to know, how does
:03:08. > :03:12.someone become a south American football expert. What led you to
:03:13. > :03:17.that? How do you fool people into thinking it? Step one, failing at
:03:18. > :03:22.everything else. Step two, you have to live there. You have to breathe
:03:23. > :03:29.the air. I moved out there 20 years ago. I think you've got to be
:03:30. > :03:37.curious. You've got to watch the games with your mind open. And
:03:38. > :03:40.you're thinking all the time, "How is this football in South American
:03:41. > :03:46.and different from the football in England?" . There's a phrase that I
:03:47. > :03:51.love, football is like a language that everyone speaks all around the
:03:52. > :03:57.world. We all speak it, but we peek it with different accents. I speak
:03:58. > :04:01.it with my accent and you speak it with your American accent and in
:04:02. > :04:04.Brazil with theirs and Argentina with theirs so it's learning them
:04:05. > :04:11.and comparing them. It's a lovely way to make a living. Absolutely.
:04:12. > :04:14.Fantastic. There's two south American players who have recently
:04:15. > :04:18.joined Manchester United. Will you tell us about them and please use
:04:19. > :04:26.your Brazilian accent when you say their names. There is one from
:04:27. > :04:34.Argentina and one - two actually, but the two big one is Di Maria from
:04:35. > :04:39.Argentina and Radamal Falcao from Colombia. Di Maria is one of the
:04:40. > :04:44.quickest things you'll ever see on a pitch. Lovely left foot. Can play in
:04:45. > :04:51.midfield and play as a winger. He looks right on top of his game.
:04:52. > :04:56.Radamal Falcao is a centre forward. He's an out and out goal scorer.
:04:57. > :05:03.Inside the penalty area he will score with his right foot, with his
:05:04. > :05:08.left, with his head. He is a tiger. A force of nature in the penalty
:05:09. > :05:12.area. They've spent a lot of money, a truck-load of money. Do you think
:05:13. > :05:19.it's going to be worth it? It seems like quite a big risk? With Di Maria
:05:20. > :05:24.I don't think there's a risk. I have a little doubt about Radamal Falcao.
:05:25. > :05:28.That's his knees. He missed the World Cup because he had a knee
:05:29. > :05:34.injury. He rushed trying to get back into time for the World Cup. He
:05:35. > :05:38.wasn't successful. Maybe he's still paying the price for the effort he
:05:39. > :05:42.made to try and get fit in time for the World Cup, because I still don't
:05:43. > :05:47.think he's moving quite right. We'll see how he does. I heard a rumour
:05:48. > :05:51.that he's studying journalism? It's true. He can always fall back on
:05:52. > :05:55.that? That was part of the thinking process. He's an intelligent young
:05:56. > :06:01.man. Because his father was a player, I think he's always been
:06:02. > :06:06.aware that football is an insecure profession. You might not make it or
:06:07. > :06:09.suffer an injury, so when he was playing with River Plate and they
:06:10. > :06:14.have a college and he was studying to be a journalist, so it means at
:06:15. > :06:19.this stage not only can he play, but he can write the match report after.
:06:20. > :06:25.If it doesn't work out, we might have to give him your number. Thank
:06:26. > :06:30.you. We'll see you later for a statistic-based game, so you need to
:06:31. > :06:35.study up. Will it be tough? It might be. For the Manchester United fans,
:06:36. > :06:39.Fallujah should make his -- Radamal Falcao should make his debut against
:06:40. > :06:44.QPR, but that's tomorrow. Before then, there are huge games taking
:06:45. > :06:49.place later today. The only two teams to take maximum points come
:06:50. > :07:10.head-to-head as Chelsea welcome Swansea.
:07:11. > :07:32.COMMENTATOR: It's gone in. It's Szabo. -- Pablo Zabaleta in. It's
:07:33. > :07:35.into the net! Navas finds Silva. Manchester City six, Arsenal three.
:07:36. > :07:47.It's time for the cave, but we have decided to give it a south American
:07:48. > :07:50.twist because Tim's here. Tim, in honour of you, we have changed the
:07:51. > :07:57.cave into the jungle. What do you think? It's lovely that you made the
:07:58. > :08:02.effort. Most of big-city South American, where the football is
:08:03. > :08:07.played is an urban jungle, concrete, so it hasn't made me feel at home.
:08:08. > :08:10.But I'm very happy. Apologies. I didn't do any of this. It's
:08:11. > :08:14.everybody else that works on the show. Moving on, the game of
:08:15. > :08:20.football, I'll give you three statistic-based questions and you'll
:08:21. > :08:24.answer higher or lower and seeing as you're from South American, they're
:08:25. > :08:30.all south American based. Since you're an compeRT, I kind of expect
:08:31. > :08:35.you to get all of them correct. If I do, Big pressure. Big pressure. If
:08:36. > :08:40.you don't get them correct I'll take away your expert title, but if you
:08:41. > :08:43.did you get to take the key to get you out of the jungle. We didn't
:08:44. > :08:50.think that one through. Are you ready? Ready. The population of
:08:51. > :08:56.Argentina is 41 million. We have already talked about Di Maria, but
:08:57. > :09:02.was his transfer fee higher or lower than ?41 million? I think he's
:09:03. > :09:07.probably worth a little more than ?41 million. Anyone who saw him tear
:09:08. > :09:15.Germany to bits would agree. I'm going hire. -- higher. You are
:09:16. > :09:24.correct. Higher. ?59.7 million. Question two, did you know there are
:09:25. > :09:28.20 different species of piranaha in the jungle? No. There are also quite
:09:29. > :09:34.a few south American footballers playing in the Premier League. Is
:09:35. > :09:40.that number of players higher or lower than the 20 fish species?
:09:41. > :09:44.Argentina played Germany and seven of the team are Premier
:09:45. > :09:49.League-based. Brazil just played Ecuador and six of that Brazil team
:09:50. > :09:54.are Premier League based, so that's already 13. You throw in all the
:09:55. > :10:00.others and it's higher. It's 46 players. Well done. The last
:10:01. > :10:05.question is a toughy. The Amazon river in South American is one of
:10:06. > :10:10.the world's longest at a staggering 4,000 miles. This week Gareth Bale
:10:11. > :10:16.rescued Wales. Was the number of people watching that higher or lower
:10:17. > :10:23.than 4,000? This is for the key? This is for the key. I'm not sure.
:10:24. > :10:29.There are little jungle noises. Andorra is a tiny country. It's the
:10:30. > :10:35.size of a stamp. I reckon Andorra would be difficult for them to draw
:10:36. > :10:43.a crowd that size. I'm going lower. You are correct. 3,300. Well done.
:10:44. > :10:47.That's yours. You can keep your expert title. Thank you very much.
:10:48. > :10:53.Thank you for coming. Great to meet you. Thank you. This week,
:10:54. > :10:58.Manchester played host to the annual Soccerex Football Festival festival.
:10:59. > :11:01.We sent Seema to check it out. Usually during the international
:11:02. > :11:07.week, Manchester City's stadium is a little on the quiet side. But not
:11:08. > :11:24.today, because I've tracked down a festival right outside the ground.
:11:25. > :11:38.That's not as easy as it looks. As you can see, a miniature pitch has
:11:39. > :11:42.been created with some former Premier League legends really
:11:43. > :11:50.strutting their stuff ch have you had fun so far? Yes. What's been the
:11:51. > :12:04.best part? The keeper's big gloves. Which one is that? There.
:12:05. > :12:10.INAUDIBLE So nervous before the game. Legends
:12:11. > :12:14.or any of that high-quality football. They're good. Always
:12:15. > :12:20.friendly. Look what I've just come across. It's the pitching machine
:12:21. > :12:28.and Diego is giving it a try right now. Have you had a good day? Yeah.
:12:29. > :12:32.Best part? The first football match. The legends were great. Any legends
:12:33. > :12:39.that you've seen today that are your favourites? Saha. You were on fire
:12:40. > :12:51.today. Did you enjoy it? It's always nice to win and everything was good.
:12:52. > :12:56.It was lovely to see people looking at footballers that they've seen on
:12:57. > :13:01.TV, so it's always great to do that. It's time now for Sav's Big Mouth. I
:13:02. > :13:05.was disappointed to hear that my score of four had been wiped out for
:13:06. > :13:11.the new season. But, I did win the award for the hardest kick, so I'll
:13:12. > :13:15.be trying it again soon. This week's challenger is Preston striker, Kevin
:13:16. > :13:31.Davis. He has a score of three to beat. Kevin Davis. Club? Sheffield
:13:32. > :13:33.United. Footy statistics? It took me until 33 to make my England debut,
:13:34. > :13:59.so never give up on your dreams. Six in 20 seconds. That's going to
:14:00. > :14:07.be hard to beat this season. All the best. Six? That really has laid down
:14:08. > :14:11.the gauntlet. It's easy to see why he's a striker. OK, so I'm afraid
:14:12. > :14:17.that's all we have time for this week. I have had loads of fun and I
:14:18. > :14:20.couldn't go without giving a shoutout to my team, Millwall FC.
:14:21. > :14:24.Forget the Premier League. It's all about the Championship. We are
:14:25. > :14:30.flying high and hopefully next year it will be promotion to the big
:14:31. > :14:37.league. If you're short of a team to support, go for the Lions. Goodbye.
:14:38. > :14:38.# In the jungle, the quiet jungle, the lion sleeps tonight...
