Subtle distinction here:

If you refer to the team by name then you use 'IT'. Thus,'Harambee stars will have a good chance to enter the World Cup finals if it win its next game'

However,when you refer to the team in the name of the country,you use 'they'. Thus: 'Kenya will have a good chance to enter the World Cup finals if they win their next game'
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
