Migne has shown, at least in the qualifiers, that he knows how to navigate past
must-win situations despite the quality of the opponent.

Three points against Taifa Stars and a draw/win against Algeria will set up a
cracker against Senegal on July 1. When the whole world will be watching, Migne
could stage another upset in his fledgling career and Harambee Stars could end up
topping Group C.

As Lupita Nyong�o says: �Our dreams are valid.� Roho juu Harambee Stars!

Harambee Stars draw Tanzania, Senegal in Cup of Nations
Up until that point, Harambee Stars fans considered the draw �fair� given that they
had been pooled with neighbours Tanzania and Algeria. With only the top two teams
in each of the six groups set to secure automatic qualification to the round of 16,
Kenyans believed Sebastien Migne�s charges have a chance of making it to the first
knock out round.

While the inclusion of Senegal means the West Africans start as favourites, Kenya
now have to battle Algeria for second place with the minimum target being at least
six points to book an automatic slot in the last 16.

Liverpool forward Sadio Mane will definitely be the man to watch in Aliou Cisse�s
set up that is littered with quality in every department. The England based pair of
Chiekhou Kouyate and Idrissa Gueye will battle for territorial advantage with
Kenya�s midfield duo of Dennis Odhiambo and skipper Victor Wanyama.

Upfront, Cisse will rely on the Ligue 1 trio of Ismaila Sarr, M�Baye Niang and
Moussa Konate for goals and as usual Inter Milan forward Keita Balde will carry his
bag of tricks and flair.

�Senegal are favourites to proceed as winners. They have an extraordinary group of


players with a lot of experience in Europe. Algeria could offer competition but I
see Senegal emerging first,� Diouf, a member of the 2002 dream team, offered when
asked to give his prediction of who would proceed from the group.
