Former AFC Leopards midfielder and ex-Vihiga United assistant coach Francis Xavier claims Kenya and Tanzania were just not at the level to compete against Senegal and Algeria at the Africa Cup of Nations.
The two 2019 Afcon finalists were in the same group as the Harambee Stars and the Taifa Stars, and neither of the two East African troubled their opponents in those games.
Kenya lost 2-0 to Algeria and 3-0 to Senegal, while Tanzania were beaten 3-0 by Algeria after a 2-0 loss against Senegal.
