"Harambee, hadi nimebuy ticket ya VIP kuwasupport. Ati sasa nyinyi mnaona mnacheza ball ya juu na South Sudan?
"[Harambee, I even bought a VIP ticket to support you. So you wanted to play air balls against South Sudan?]" Shatta inquired.
While still expressing his frustration, Shatta passionately argued that Harambee Stars should have employed a ground-based playing strategy, considering that the South Sudanese players had a height advantage.
According to him, this was something that should have been common sense.
Shatta then went on to dismiss Harambee's win against Qatar, suggesting it was purely a stroke of luck. Kenya had defeated Qatar 2-1 in a previous match.
