Gor Mahia ties Harambee Stars
Gor Mahia tied Harambee Stars to a 1-1 draw in a friendly match at Nyayo stadium on Wednesday. Harambee Stars took the lead in the 17th minute via Jesse Were. But Gor Mahia came back storming in the second half and finally leveled the score in the 80th minute through Ronald Omino.
Good grouping, these is where champions are found, tiz tough for all teams, but this time round they should expect well-oiled machine in K`ogalo ready to crush everything thrown at them.
…three week tournament…
CECAFA ought to think twice about this. That’s a long time. With good planning it would have been shorter
Three weeks is good time for the players to rest. To win the tournament you need to play 6 games in 20/21 days. That’s roughly 1 game every 3 days. Enough for the players to recover
Telecom is from Djibouti.
A star arrives at gor.The signing of were will benefit glay and affect five players namely;shakava,walusimbi,gattuso,sibomana and abondo.if were starts then walusimbi will be benched or moved to left back hence affecting sibomana but wen he plays and walu plays then gattuso might be sacrified like last weekend.the coach might also decides to use him on right wing and walu on left side hence benching abondo.if walu doesnt start then glay will come in to fill the number of foreign quota thus shakava paving the way since musa is experienced and at same time the captain.thats my view,what is urs?
Admin stop copying everything as it is from other sites without going thro and making amendments reqired.telecom is from djibouti and wea is al khartoum in this group?plz read before u present ur news to us.this tournament should not exist if the reward is that low.it wastes alot time.
we should be in dar as fans especially on the final day,how much does it cost to travel to dar by bus from nai.i forsee us taking this thing.lets paint dar green like we normally do in kenyan towns,can our foreign ministry in tz help us just visit for one day without getting to undergo the normal procidure? anelka kazi kwako.
We need such groupings so that we get tougher
Follow GMFC’s campaign at kpltactics.WordPress.com as done last year. Hopefully there will be more matches to analyze than group fixtures.
