True that.
TP Mazembe made history by becoming the first African side to reach the Club World Cup final. What is their budget comparative to the likes of Barca, Bayern or Real in Europe or those South American teams?
Just this past year [2013], Raja Casablanca made it to the finals of the same Club World Cup with a shoe string budget when compared with the European and South American teams.
There is a lot more to African football success stories than money.
Had all those teams been in the Club World Cup, TP Mazembe wouldn't have been in the final. But again, sometimes it boils down to determination. Compare Zambia and SA in terms of football resources yet Zambia is way more successful due to their determination.

You are using a friendly as the basis of your argument ?
In any case giving examples of underdog teams that won and saying GM should have done the same does not make sense. For every instance that an underdog wins, there are 10 other instances where they lost.
Winning and losing happens in sports. Sofapaka beat Ismaily but lost several times in the Kenyan league. This is the nature of the game.
You do not measure a team's worth by one game especially a friendly. You measure it by consistency over several years: Esperance has won the Africa champions league very many times, the Tunisian league 18 times and are now leading the Tunisian league by 10 points. Every now and then they might be shocked in the 1st round but that only happens once in a blue moon. Just like Kenya beats NZ in sevens once in a while, only to lose by 50 next time.
Its possible that on any given day Gor Mahia might shock Esperance. But if they play 10 times , Gor Mahia will likely lose 8 times. Same with Sofapaka. Same with Leopards. And please dont compare Ismaily with Esperance.
Having watched the game, I reject the idea that GM capitulated. Esperance were superior tactically. Williamson was outcoached. And Kenya players are simply of low calibre. Kenyans players as boys they grow up playing football with ball ya jwala until they are 17 with no direction from knowledgable adults.
Meanwhile their counterparts in Tunisia are in structured youth development schemes by age 12. Almost all Esperance players are products of youth development and it showed.

Top Fry has also fried K'Ogalo 2-0??
It was Top Fry's first win of the season and their first clean sheet. 
Maybe that 5 nil wasn't such a shocker :)

Gor played a very good game against Yanga. They should dispatch KMKM with ease later today and qualify for the quarters. I must also say that i think Olunga will be the next big thing in Kenyan football. Can't see him playing in this continent in the next two years if he stays focused.He can dribble, has the height,pace and a sweet left hard shot. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Pus he has the ability to hold the ball very well, wait for support and play that final pass.
Hope he has an equally good agent.
