Let’s all rally behind Harambee Stars

After a dramatic comeback against Tanzanian Taifa Stars, Kenyan football fans are quite optimistic that Harambee Stars can go all the way and qualify for the knock-out stages of the Africa Cup of Nations.

The ongoing football extravaganza in Egypt has brought back joy and excitement among Kenyan football fans and now they can begin dreaming. They hope that the performance will reignite collective responsibility and the urge to win football matches no matter the opponents.

The triumph over our boisterous neighbours has left fans still reeling with joy but it is now time to focus on the next game against Senegal. Harambee Stars coach Sebastian Migne made some bold decisions in ensuring the team squeezed a 3-2 win against the Taifa Star. The same ingenuity will be needed as the team takes on the Lions of Teranga on Monday.

Being the top-ranked team in Africa, Senegal will be a different kettle of fish. Other than playing Algeria in the opening match, the fixture against Senegal ranks among the most important one for Harambee Stars.

The Senegalese side is teaming with big names who are sure to give Stars some valuable experience on the pitch and good memories. Senegal will be under a lot of pressure especially after losing 1-0 to Morocco and will come at Kenya with guns blazing.

The Stars should not fall into such pressure and just seek to play their game. Migne should also maintain the same positive spirit that has moved the team to where it is. Lastly, the fans must continue to rally behind the team.
