Kenya has 3 promising strikers for the net 10 years so their attack is very lethal. Dennis Oliech, Patrick Oboya, and Allan Wanga then you have Mariga and Mambo-Mumba who are some sick midfielders so keep an eye out for Kenya. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pn-hX6Opsg&feature=related Oboya ^^^
Kenya has a good attack for the next ten years or so....... Oliech, Wanga and Oboya have the potential to be one of Africa's best attacks. We have a decent midfeild. What Kenya needs is to develop Defenders and Wing backs. If we can get a good defence plus what we have now, we could make some noise in CAF. The talent is there, but I'm not so sure about the KFF.
indeed...but they're developing very well by the looks of things with players being sold to South Africa now...so should be a task to beat Kenya these days.
These are the ones they've worn for all four games so far: http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/preliminaries/africa/teams/team=43863/photolist.html#784651
Oct 10th... vs. Guinea ... win or draw and we're in for the African Nations Cup and step closer to playing in South Africa come 2010. Can't remember the last time there was this much hope and positivity behind KFA and it's players. Life is good in Kenya.
2-1 Guinea.... we drop to second place in the group but still advance as part of the eight 2nd placed teams. On to the next round and also the African Nations Cup..... who needs Lama?!
