This is a classic case of masukuma fighting with his own shadow . No one on wazua has said Kenya is blessed with talent. No one has said there is something special in Kenya.

But it is a fact that Kenya has more talent than the teams they routinely lose to nowadays. Kenya has in the recent past fielded a team with players who play in the top leagues of England, Italy, France etc. Players who featured in the champions league. And with all these players they have lost to teams like Eritrea, Lesotho, Botswana, Somalia etc. These are teams with players playing in much lower leagues and sometimes are amateurs. A player who is playing in the Champions league is likely more talented than a player in the Eritrean league. If you do not understand this basic concept then maybe you are an airhead.
Kenya lost to these teams not because “hatujui ball”. We lost mostly due to poor planning:
Against Botswana, Kenya arrived mere hours before the match and lost 3-0. All the goals were scored in the last 15 minutes. The players said they were tired from the long journey
The same scenario happened against Cape Verde when Kenya players went through a 10 hour travel ordeal of waiting for their flight at Wilson airport

On top of that Kenya never trains together nor plays friendlies. In 2014, Wanyama pleaded for friendlies and instead the government sent them on holiday in Brazil to watch the world cup. Meanwhile Lesotho were busy training. The next month Lesotho beat Kenya.

This scenario has repeated itself over and over for the past 15 years. In the few moments where Kenya had some good organization, the team did well. When Job Omino was KFF chair, Kenya qualified for the Africa Nations cup three times in a row. And that was when only 8 teams qualified. In the late 90s with Fabisch, Kenya recorded good results against some of Africas to teams beat Algeria 3-1, Cameroon and that Nigeria team that won the Olympic gold medal.

In 2004, Kenya qualified for CAN again beating teams like Cape Verde and Togo who consistently beat us now. Heck even last year Kenya recorded a good result away to Congo. It is clear from these results that Kenya has the talent to compete. But we keep getting derailed by poor management. Others can see this clearly. Even manambas on the street. Only Masukuma seems to lack the cognitive ability to grasp this basic concept. And since he can’t grasp it, he just keeps creating straw men arguments to fight with and continues to fight with his own shadow.

all these are excuses!! we peg our "unoma" on one off wins.... these are nothing. my thoughts are kenya tries to punch above her weight in everything... spreading ourselves too thin. it's like kenya wants to be the 1st country to industrialise in sports. hao Lesotho una dharau hapo with their 2m people don't do anything else but football. they have very nice hills to run but they don't. they play football in a nutty way similar to the english. it's an extended family affair. same thing to west africans.... the only other countries that do the things we try to do are russia, usa, uk and somtimes sa and australia. we are busy bodies. the reason we rank well in rugby in africa is because we don't have much competition coz to some countries rugby is like croquet.... something white people take stabs off. mara cycling... mara b-ball, mara footballl... don't you know that you are a heavily indebt , poor, corrupt, 3rd world country?

Didn't they beat Ghana recently?

They have done really well when you consider all the poor preparations. Coach not being paid for months, shoddy travel plans, team not training for long enough, lack of friendlies. The usual garbage. Give them support and they will go places.

Their best aspect is the defence which is solid. Bryan, Denis, Omar, Musa, Marcelo, Philemon & Matasi.

This is sad indeed. Why these things happen year in and year out is baffling to say the least. Incompetence and the usual ufisadi at the MOY&S?
