After thrashing Sony Sugar 2 - 1 and stretching their points tally to 55, Ulinzi's march towards the 2010 KPL championship is surely unstoppable, or is it? only Gor are within striking range of the Lanet based military side and K'Ogallo have only two matches remaining to close up the gap. If Ulinzi collects four points out of the remaining six, they are home and dry.
How this team manages to perch themselves atop Kenya's soccer pedestal amazes me. They play, honestly, one of the most boring football in the country. Anyone doubting this only needs sample members of the current national team - why did Twahir Muhiddin ignore them? Why has 'Ghost' Mulee continued this trend?
Whenever I watch these soldiers play, I see eleven men moving around a spherical weapon with a single minded aim of finishing their opponent by all and any means possible - yet, despite their dour style, or lack of it, they have managed to stay ahead of the chasing pack of Gor Mahia, Tusker, Sofapaka, Mathare United and Sony Sugar, all of who play better football.
So what is this that makes Ulinzi so unstoppable? Could it be the military discipline instilled at the training school, or 'the no retreat, no surrender' determination cultivated to win wars, or is it that the military men are physically fitter than their opponents?
My humble request to Ulinzi is this, please if you win the league, incorporate some stylish play, or stylish players? in your squad. When you take the field in 2011's CAF Champions League, remember that you are playing for all of Kenya. I hope you will make Kenya proud. Good luck!
