Published on June 29, 2019, Harambee Stars' social media handlers posted a message that left fans bewildered, hinting that the team's match against Senegal would be their last in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
The message read: 'Dinner treat by our Captain Victor Wanyama as we head into our final match against Senegal.' The post was accompanied by pictures of the players giving a thumbs up, which many interpreted as approval of the message.
Netizens quickly questioned the team's mentality after showing a spirited performance against Tanzania's Taifa Stars on Thursday night. A lethal Michael Olunga scored twice as Kenya edged Tanzania 3-2 in Cairo to keep alive hopes of reaching the second round in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Kenya face the Lions of Teranga on Monday at 10pm, and a win or draw will give them an excellent chance of progressing to the next round depending on results in other groups.
Reactions to the tweet were mixed, with many fans expressing their disappointment and frustration at the team's apparent lack of confidence.
