Nini sasa!! Uganda wangebaki, hatungeona hicho kikombe!

Nkt! Wakebaki aje? Who reasons like this in 2013!?

How low the standards in Kenya have become.

Now winning the CECAFA cup is a sign from heaven?

We used to win this thing 3 times in a row.

Sasa wakenya na low standards. Ati best way to celebrate 50 yrs is to win CECAFA? Why not at least qualify for the African Cup?

You're behaving like a woman who marries choice number 2 and goes to church ever sunday to try and validate her stupid decision to choose the fool they have in their house.

You can't celebrate winning in a second rate football match in a third rate championships. Not 50yrs after independence.

The first time I chinjaad a mbuzi, I was extremely elated. I went to school and told all my classmates that I was better than them because I could chinja a mbuzi. Nowadays, I can't boast of that achivement. With good reason. Been there, done that.

When you beat a team that was locked up in their hotel for days and you come and talk about total football, it shows that googles are worn by all.

When Kenya qualifies for ANC and gets to the semis or qualifies from the group stages at the world cup, come and celebrate.

Celebrating an if ati ingwe sijui the thugs of gor mahia, if, if, if. Then you vote in a crook as head of football.

We are living in lala land.

Good stuff. Kahata, the entire defence, Miheso, Keli stars shone brightly. Kudos to the technical bench. With consistency I believe this team can at the least qualify for the ACN.

Now that is great news. Apana hii ya cecafa.

If our young guys can win, then we are truly headed in the right direction.

If you wait to celebrate only when Kenya reaches the second round of the world cup as you have said hapo juu, you will die of frustration. Such things only happen in wild fantasies. Better to be realistic and celebrate small victories. Winning CECAFA is not that easy. Even during the good old days, there were times when Kenya would host and fail to win. Remember that in four decades, Kenya had only won 5 times

Speaking of small wins, the Machakos stadium is mediocre when compared to the stadia constructed by governors in Nigeria. But when you consider the dilapidated neglected state of other Kenyan stadia then governor Mutua is worth cheering and celebrating. Machakos is probably the 3rd best stadium in Kenya.

Second, there is nothing wrong with celebrating the journey. This is like when a child who used to be last in his class exams in Standard four then reaches standard 7 and is number one in his class. Being number one in a remote school in standard seven does not mean much in the grand scheme of things. But it means you are on the right path. At this rate you will get good marks in KCPE, go to a decent school and pass KCSE. The parent of this standard seven school should therefore celebrate. They are celebrating the journey.

No Kenyan will be dancing in the streets because we won CECAFA. But people should drink a few beers to celebrate Kenya being back on the right path. It means that at this rate , Kenya can qualify for ANC 2015. If they do, I will celebrate that. I am realistic enough to know that Kenya cannot reach the semis.

@alma, is there anything that ever pleases you? You sound like someone who rarely ever enjoys life. Critical of each and everything Kenyan.

By the way if you are married, I'd like to know how your wife copes with your expectations of life. Hats off to her, and I say that as a compliment.

There is a saying that I keep hearing from the English football journalists: you can only beat what is in front of you. Yeah, that msemo comes from the UK, where you spent so much time. So it's unlikely you'll argue with that.

Fact is, the CECAFA is a trophy that we haven't won in a decade. It's a start and we can build from there and aim for AFCON 2015, followed by the Rio Olympics and the world cup in Russia.

March 4th keeps disturbing some people. Face it, UK is President and Kenya did well at CECAFA on the 50th!! Meza wembe.

Harambee Stars played well and deservedly carried the day.

Kahata is our own little Messi - a skillful player forever pulling some suave moves, coupled with unpredictable and well executed passes.

BTW Why did they call him Kahata na huku hahati!

Hats off to the little guy!
