Kilimanjaro Stars lost 1-0 to a weaker Somalia

In a just ended match between the over-confidence Kilimanjaro Stars (Tanzania Mainland national team) and the under dogs Somalia, we have witnessed a suprise win of one goal to nil to Somalia.

Kilimanjaro stars and their fans took for granted and thought that their recent impressive performance of Sudan, was enough to scare away guys from Somalia. To their suprise Somalia took lead just thirteen minutes after the kick off in the first half.

The goal came as a results of Stars defenders mistakes, as they thought Somalia's players were off side. I always tell my players to make sure that they play with the Referee, they should not assume anything unless they here referee's whistle. As a player you can not decide that it an offside when a referee or his assistant has not granted any.

On their first match Somalia lost 2-0 to Zanzibar who are at this moment in a battle with the Host Uganda.

Stars now are second from the bottom with Goal difference advantage over Rwanda. They now in a very tough situation given the fact that they need to win against tough teams, Zanzibar has never been an easy team for Stars. Uganda are good plus the fact that they hosts, Rwanda although were defeated 4-0 on the hands of Uganda they are still a threat to a Maximo squad.

I just wish good luck to stars but they should remember that winning is one thing,but consistency on their performance is another crucial thing.

Dar Young Africans Vs Simba Sports club

Tommorow (saturday 31/10/2009) is one of the big days in Tanzanian Soccer. Tanzania's soccer giants Yanga (young Africans) and Simba will clash at the National stadium in Dar es Salaam. The match is expected to attract many spectators than usual, we expect revenue collections to be high. Actually we look forward to watching this big event. In the midst of expectation I can not stop myself from wondering what actually will happen tommorow. I wish to very advanced soccer tactics from the big teams, I wish to hear from TFF that they have collected as much as they expected as gate collection, I wish to see fair officiating of the match. I wish to mature and fair behavior from fans, i wish for a lot good things to happen. But I know one thing for sure: It is possible that I wont see any of my wishes coming true. It is possible to hear from TFF saying that they run deficit from the match collection. We may end up seeing the usual none fair play game from players, players from each team m...
