It is a REWARD as pledged for winning the CECAFA trophy after years in the cold and done using someone's PERSONAL funds. These haters can fCUCK off!!!

Greater still, these haters can do an MPESA harambee with their PERSONAL funds and action all these manenoz they talking.

If saying I have bile makes you happy then suit yourself. To me hiyo ni utoto and it does not bother me one bit. If you think I have bile then so be it. I do not care. I don't even know why I would have bile. But whatever ............

But the issue at hand is as follows: Uhuru says that the trip to Brazil will raise the standards of football. I say that not only is that not true but may actually have detrimental effects to teams in the premier league. Such solutions may actually be detrimental to player development because they should be focused on training.

Siasa aside, that is the issue at hand. Does anyone here actually think that sending players to Brazil will raise standards ? If so then come and have a grown up debate.

This is what Uhuru promised when Kenya won the cecafa cup


He assured that the Government would work with other stakeholders to bring transformational management in football.

President Kenyatta reiterated his directive that lotteries in the country be dedicated to promotion of sports, arts and the environment from January next year.

Cabinet Secretary Sports Arts and Culture Dr. Hassan Wario said his ministry was committed to promoting youth talent in the country.

“Youth focus on what they do best – sports. Let us not introduce politics in the administration of sports in the country,” the minister said.

This is the point I am making. There is a lot that president and the govt can do to raise standards of football. The points he raised above are very good and is what is needed.

Hiyo mambo ya promising to send team to Brazil is something that is coming up just now.

If Kusema na kutenda is true basi wacha atende the parts in blue above.

FKF KFF yote sawa, a cut of the same cloth. There are no rugby pitches everywhere but we have great rugby players. Rugby is predominantly played in schs not in fields out of nowhere. Our runners practice in sch playing fields, but they excel anyway. Football in Kenya is f*d'up by those tribal clubs and their members, so don't expect any miracle. Going to Brazil may or may not help the players but its a gift that the president felt they deserved. Sasa wewe hauna say its his money he chooses what to do with it.

Rugby is a completely different animal. You do not have to practise your rugby skills as much as you do in football. There have been numerous cases of players who never played rugby in secondary school and still excelled. For example the Kenya women's sevens team consists almost entirely of players who had never touched a rugby ball until after they finished form 4. If you are big or have speed or are very agile or if you are the kind of person who is not scared of delivering adn receiving big hits then you can excel. I know players who played for the Kenya XV team who had never played in secondary school. One player (Mwololo) became so good that he was invited to the UK for trials. Yet he had never played rugby until he was almost 20. But his breathtaking speed is what carried him.

Football is the exact opposite. Football relies entirely on muscle memory and skill development. You simply cannot learn how to kick a ball at age 18 and expect to succeed. Those who have been playing their whole lives and sharpening their skills every day are the ones who succeed. yet 60% of Nairobians live in slums with no fields. Many of them do not go to secondary school anyway due to lack of funds so its not as if they have an alternate place to play.

With regard to football being messed up by tribal clubs, you are talking absolute nonsense. In fact Kenya football thrived in the 1970s and 1980s when the tribal element was stronger. This was the era of teams like GEMA, Luo Union, Maragoli, Abaluhya, Abeingo etc. People like you know jack squat about Kenya football and its history.

There are myriad reasons why football standards in Kenya are low but tribal clubs are not one of them. Today members of every ethnic group play for these clubs and support these clubs. You need to put on your thinking hat and come up with good logic. Start by telling us why so called tribal clubs have messed up football rather than just making assertions that have no basis .
