Oscar and Antony had their appointment with the U.S. Embassy on the 17th of June and they were denied their request for a student visa. The reason they were denied is complicated so I won't go into any details, but it was not a permanent denial. They can reschedule their appointment with the Embassy and provide the information in that interview that was lacking in the first interview. Keep them in your prayers as they make another appointment in the very near future. Their bags are packed, their airline tickets are arranged, all they need is approval from the Embassy to come the states.
Just in case they don't make it, I'm on the hunt for some others that might fill their spots. We will have a full team of players by August, one way or the other.
With or without the Kenyans we are going to be a good team. I'm very pleased with the talent that we have been able to assemble so far. I was wanting to see you all on the pitch in a bad way on the night of our team meeting, but it wasn't meant to be. Hopefully we will get you all together soon so we can see what we have.
Keep conditioning, you're going to need to be in very good shape by the time we hit the ground running on August 1st.
