Monday Mix

In a country with a penchant for bad news, the sterling performance was a welcome breath of fresh air.

That said, once upon a time, there was a third division team called Nyanam.

Like the Stars, this team had what one Cecafa commentator last week called “these big Kenyans”. And like Harambee Stars, the players were well known for their long balls which often ended up… nowhere.

I am told that those who watched the final were frustrated by our boys’ inability to play good football. And if they continue to play “style hiyo hiyo”, then fans have every reason to be very afraid if Harambee Stars qualify for the 2010 World Cup.

But that is not the only challenge facing the team. It would appear that those who manage football in this country have never decided on what should be the national colours.

At various times, the team has used green, white and red uniforms. They even had a mix-and-match.

Isn’t a team supposed to have only two sets of colours: One for away matches and one for the home ground? Or has Fifa changed that rule?
