My congratulations to Harambee stars for what they have achieved thus far. Hope fortunes will change in the African Nations Cup. www.kenyanstar.co.ke

My Friend. Your Suggestion holds No Water. Julius Gawo has never seen the inside of a swedish field Let alone Kick a Swidish Ball . Never Played Never Started Never even appeared on the pitch.
Harambee stars needs Raw Home Talent. Now that there is the 2012 CAN, we need to prepare Now, Get 16-18Yr olds and get a good Coach. Next year We build a 12-15yr old team to feed the under 17 side. If we do this we will always have talent flow and aspiration in our youth to grow into the senior side. Look at Ghana young talent comming down from the ranks. Egypt Home talent and good coach.
We Kenyans can do it. we Just need Genuin Administrators and Proper Coach.

Well Kenyan is on of the few countries that allow dual citizenship but how about Oliech he is a citizen of Arabia and kenyan,how could they miss that??
But Kenyans need to have their own taletnt there are many born Kenyans that play football but has moved to diffirent Countries such as France,Sweden,U.S.A e.tc
but why not go and send a scout to bring back ower lads and they can maybe lead us to a World Championsship,
i can suggest a good talent thet plays in Sweden Byron Julius Gawo Born and raised in Kenya but moved to sweden,now 17 and a big talent who plays for Roslags Bro.why not try to bring him and the other lads back.

lemmi congratulate h. stars but one thing to know iz that they need to dedicate their future for kenyans let them have patriotism in their mind they don need to shame us and to officials stop wrangles and focus on future of kenya no need for foreign coaches (betrayers) as u've seen and muhidini hatoshi kabisa give chance to kimanzi and you'l see joyfull results wi need kimanzi back.

I said it earlier and I will say it again: Muhidin must go immediately.
If we are going to hire a local coach there is no one else up to the task other than Francis Kimanzi period. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever we should loose 2-0 against Zambia in our back yard!! I hope this message gets to the proper football loving authorities at home.

Does anyone know where I can watch this years CECAFA tournament?

I want to take this opportunity to congratulate Harambee Stars left back, John Njoroge.
First, for proving that he is in the National team by merit.
Secondly, for having being retained at the club level by Yanga FC. For Papic "Bill Clinton" to retain him in the current squad proves his worthiness...both at club level and at the National level.
He is such a humble gentleman in person. Yesterday I had a chat with him, in a popular joint in Nairobi. He is so down-to-earth, unlike some players. It is such attitude that make heroic players like Captain Musa Otieno.

It is sad when someone is trying to make a difference back home in the game of football, only to see their work go up in smoke. The work of selfish individuals with political affiliations who know nothing about football or running it for that matter. Kenya by now should be a soccer power-house in the continent of Africa. But unfortunately, that has not been the case as we have witnessed talent come and go. Even though today by far we have the best talent Kenya has ever produced in decades in the likes of Dennis Oliech, Emmanuel Ake, McDonald Mariga, Robert Mambo, Allan Wanga, we will never witness our standards in soccer grow to influence even youthful rising talent like Mugabe.... or even aspiring footballers in the high school and secondary school ranks. Why, .. It is the same all corrupt, selfish individuals running soccer back home.
Enough said, we need a fresh start from top down. Let there be new blood in the soccer governing body. People who understand the game of soccer and its management.
Second, there needs to be an effective network systems that regularily searches and nurtures new and upcoming talent across the country.
Third & final, with all due respect for Twahir Muhidin and his contributions to soccer in the country he has to go; and let Francis Kimanzi be reinstated to his post. So far he is by far the best local coach we have at the moment. ... for those who chose to differ with me just check his record.

What's up everyone, I'm new to the forum and just wanted to say hey. Hopefully I posted this in the right section!

The REFEREEE was Openly Biased against KENYA nearly all the Calls have Gone to Nigeria.


We should Learn a Great Lesson that if a Head Coach like Francis Kimanzi is doing Well like posting Excellent Wins,we shouldn't Fire Him for a Use-less German Coach.

Now lets Focus on Winning the CECAFA Cup by Trouncing Uganda in the Final.


HONGERA HARAMBEE STARS

we are the best Harambee stars Go Go Go. Makocha wale wajinga tukawakatakata

Ina maana waNigeria wameamua kucheza pungufu uwanjani leo.

Your Nigeria line up has only ten players au ndio dharau hiyo?

Let's all go and cheer stars wether they win or lose, just for football's sake. The beauty of soccer is that you can watch and forget the results as soon as you want. My prediction 1:1

FINAL ANALYSIS

Nigeria arrives 23 hours before Match Kick-Off after a 7 hour Plane Trip from Abuja Nigeria.

Harambee Stars have had enough Time to Gel together including a Local Match to Practice Two Soccer System Formations.

Harambee Stars will have the Advantage of Playing at Home and a Different System of Play other than the 5-3-2 System that they used in Abuja.

Nigeria Dis-Advantage is Fatigue due to Jet Lag and Playing a Different Harambee Stars Team at Altitude including a Better Offensive Team.

PREDICTION


KENYA 2 NIGERIA 1

KENYA NEEDS TO WIN THIS GAME IT WILL BE A SWEET VICTORY

Nataka hiyo Head ya Hey mniletee kesho!!Wapi watu wa G4S, no money without that head!Remember that.

need we kill him as he killed our ambitions???

on saturday the players to watch for kenya will bee EMANULE AKE HE IS A good striker and was the top scorer for his club and it has been a long time without playing for harambee stars,and patrik osiako could do well for us.And now that hey is about to bee sacked i think the players are happy and ready to do there best, but the most important player will bee the fans that will give energy and motivation to the players.

Correcting below - George Owino played on the left wing on the previous senior challenge cup, not on the right. I take this opportunity to wish Harambee stars all the best. I will be watching the game in a pub as i'm in Mombasa.Will cheer like hell!!! We shall win, that i'm sure. Kenya 2 Nigeria 0.

Guys if i 'may' jump in the conversation - if you can recall all matches under Kimanzi, George Owino patnered with Edgar Ochieng on 4 & 5 respectively, then John Njoroge was on the left & Mulinge Ndeto on the right respectively. This defence went 360minutes without conceding a goal! (Except the final rounds of senior challenge in UG where George Owino played in the right). Musa wasn't there. Am not saying he's bad, i know he's been there for us, but its time to pave way for young energetic blood with 'pumzi', just like what Titus Mulama did. Furthermore, foreign coaches do not have a record in Kenya, only Eckhard Krautzun had some success in Kenya from 1971 to 1973 before he went to Canada. Ghost Mulee made Kenya lift the challenge cup after nearly a decade of draught, he delivered the first ever ACN win after beating Burkina faso 3-0, Francis Kimanzi's record speaks for itself..... Finally, my prediction, Kenya 2, Nigeria 0. All the best Harambee stars!!
