[Field Marshall Ogolo]

There is nothing wrong with using Fifa rankings to seed teams. Things have always been done that way.

Where is Kenya seeded?

Ok I get. We are the 'whooping' boys

Chief Ogolo, please clarify! How is Nigeria seeded LAST based on what the article presented?

... yes we are, but some teams; if not many, will be shocked by God's grace.

Thank you. Kenya wasn't even seeded for the CECAFA Cup. And hosting or qualifying for a mere CHAN became was a conundrum the whole of Nairobi and Mombassa cannot decipher. You may have sworn in a Kenyatta for the umpteenth time but in football, it's not yet uhuru for Kenya. Your journalists should stop punching above their weights.

The dilemma of a Kenyan man. They just don't understand how folks they are 'better' than keep outdoing them in almost everything.
It really must be frustrating being a Kenyan man.

Their women though...

[pajimoh]

Please lets respond to Ogolo without mentioning that country of steeple chasers. When it comes to football you should not be mentioning that country in the same thread as the Super Eagles. Doing that gives that yeye team some legitimacy.

I mean you won't mention sheit when you're talking about ice cream, would you?

I'VE ALWAYS HATED THESE FIFA POLLS, BECAUSE...


...they are less than a rough predictor of how teams will perform. It's atrocious for FIFA to use it in this ultimate objective. Clearly a better ranking system is needed.

Kenya is in pot 8 with the likes of Gibraltar and San Marino.

Yours is the most sensible response here. We know Argentina is waiting for Nigeria somewhere. This will not end well for the giants of Africa.

I agree but any ideas on a better seeding option, because I am all ears.

[Coach]

@Celluminati, Kenyan women are a curvaceous nightmare, at best.
