‘Borat’ no joke as Kazakhs eye last laugh

KAZAKHSTAN coach Bernd Storck is on a mission to get his country known for football rather than comedy character Borat — and he is deadly serious about facing England at Wembley.

Storck has told his players to play without fear and not to be overawed by Fabio Capello’s stars, to such an extent that he does not want them swapping shirts on the pitch with the likes of Wayne Rooney and David Beckham at the end of the World Cup qualifier.

Nothing is expected other than an England win but the Kazakhstan Football Federation have a long-term plan to reach the 2016 European Championships and Storck is blooding youngsters to give them experience, making sweeping changes to the squad.
