If the boys wine the CECAFA, it will not be coz they have the best team in East and Central Africa or they did the best preparation. It will be sheer luck. Ethiopia and Uganda are the clear favorites. [/color]


If I had money to bet I would bet on Zambia.


I also think Uganda and Ethiopia will be the teams to beat, Zambia have become a bit lacklustre since they won AFCON last year. Most of their top players also ply their trade in foreign leagues so i'm not quite sure if they'll be available for CECAFA.

Typical Kenyan. Game hasn't started and we are already scared?

LET'S GO KENYA! LET'S GO!!

I sure hope Ethiopia brings the same players who have recently done well in the qualifiers. Its a chance for Kenya to measure their progress under Amrouche.

I don't know exactly what Ethiopia is doing but Kenya would benefit by being humble enough to learn from Ethiopia.

Take club football for example. Egyptian teams are the bane of Kenyan teams. Yet St George of Ethiopia eliminated ENPPI who were the league leaders in Egypt at the time and St George almost eliminated Zamalek

Story here:

If you read that story you will see that Kenyan clubs can learn something from St George.

Kevin Kimani, Blackberry, Rama Salim were all very good players but were shipped out abroad after one good season in the Kenyan league. If we are able to retain our best players then maybe just maybe our clubs would have a good chance of progressing further in the continental tournaments.....which would also be good for the National team because the players would develop their game.

Good point. Kenya is loosing players even to Tanzania, never mind Europe.

East Africa Breweries pours more money into Tanzanian football than they do in Kenya where they are close to a monopoly.

And many players who leave, never play for the national team again.

Team Kenya is being weakened further as a number of players have dropped out. I think money is the issue.

In this era where players are paid decent bonuses, you have to offer them incentive to play. I notice players like Mieno never agrees to call ups. Either Azam prevails on him to deny call ups or he thinks its not worth risking injury to play for no money or little money.
