The last time we heard of this rare occurrence was in 1986 at the world cup quarter-final match between the Argentines and the English. The match was poised to end in a 0-0 draw when Diego Maradona scored a last gasp goal- and broke England fans hearts- by punching the ball into the net, after the game the Argentine was staunchly unapologetic and insisted that the goal came courtesy of the 'hand of God'.

As a result of this lack of planning and proper thought, we, the Kenyans will be asked once again it...
