World Cup Fever

Hi everyone. I hope you're all as exhausted as me at having cheered all world-cup long.
Its heartbreak indeed for the Ivory Coast but Angola and Tunisia got two points for us so there's hope, ama?
Ghana and Togo may also pull something off, lets hope.

The Kenya Premier League resumes this weekend and will probably not get anyone's attention but if you have time, go and watch a game and learn the names of the ones you'll be cheering for in 2010 where Kenya have a good shot at making an appearance.(I certainly will!)

I came across an interesting site. There are many sites streaming world cup games for free(I think) but I think this site is the only one doing it in 2D, live! Try it: GlobalScore.

Have a lovely weekend.

Lets thank the Ivory Coast for giving us something to cheer on, and good football.
God bless Ghana!!

The Passion

I felt it yesterday. It was exciting and completely fulfilling. It was all-consuming!

Did you feel it too?

Having left the comforts of home, I found myself in a local pub that was completely jam-packed full of football fans. There must have been 300+ people and the air was heavy, making it difficult to breath. No one was complaining, though. The occasion? Argentina Vs Ivory Coast.

Could you believe that there was absolutely bo soul in support of the mighty Argentina at that particular pub? Yeah. We cheered, we jeered, we cursed, we laughed and, ultimately, we left for home bitterly disappointed.

I don't particularly like Drogba but when he scored, the whole pub erupted into a whole 5 minutes of wild celebrations(me inclusive). The match was lost but the Ivory Coast fought bravely and gave us heart to return to that same pub for the Angola game.

We were real fans. If we had known the Ivory Coast anthem, we'd have sung it. However, I do believe that everyone was secretly wishing that it was Kenya out there doing us proud. I so wish this were so.

The World Cup looks likely to overshadow the national league but here are the results:

Mathare 2 Ulinzi 0
Sony 1 Chemelil 0
Telkom 0 Mathare Youth 1
W.Hope 0 Agro 0
Securicor 0 Shabana 0
Thika 2 Kangemi 0
Ulinzi 0 Coast 0

What is goin on? Ivory Coast, Angola and Ghana lost! I dont think I can take any more disappointment but still I soldier on. Lets pray for both Togo and Tunisia.

Gor Mahia, can you hear me?

So after an anonymous fan paid off Gor's fine (sh. 45000) Gor still refuse to honor their matches claiming that...........I dont know; what is their reason?

It must be good because everytime they forfeit a match they lose points and as you might well know, they're awfully close to relegation. An interesting drama is unfolding. After Gor take KPL to court, can they be given an opportunity to regain all their lost points? I do not think so.( At whose inconvenience?)

My lawyer friend was saying that Gor should (at law) strive to mitigate their losses, even if they plan to take KPL to court, but do I say? Gor 'lost' 6 more points over the long weekend.

Here are the results:
Sony 1 Kangemi 1
Tusker 1 Berets 1
Chemelil 2 Ulinzi 1

Agro 3 AFC 1
Securicor 2 Hope 0
Kangemi 2 Shabana 1
Sher 3 KCB 0

Thika 1 Mathare 1
Agro 3 Berets 0
Hope 1 AFC 0

Now the good news: A Belgian organisation is financing the setting up of Under-12 and Under-16 football leagues.
