The team was relegated to the Challenge Trophy after its defeat in Scotland
Hopes were high when the Kenya Sevens team flew to the United States United for the 2018 Rugby World Cup.
Many expected the national team to bring the impressive World Series series to the San Francisco World Show and to replicate the heroics of the semi-finals in Dubai (2009) and Moscow (2013) or even ranks higher.
However, that never happened as two crazy moments in the pre-game morning yesterday against Scotland at AT & T Park who broke their dreams and left many Shujaa fans around the world.
Hundreds of fans across the country, who were glued to their television screens in pubs and houses in the wee hours, were forced to drown their sentences while the effort of the Kenya's world ended dramatically.
They lost a 26-0 lead at half-time and lost 26-31 in the knockout stages of the new, ruthless "ruthless" format.

The AT & T Park had to look like the most isolated place of Samuel Oliech and Samuel Ngethe whose indiscipline cost Kenya a ticket to the quarterfinals.
It's a match, the duo would certainly not like to remember that their "silly" mistakes allowed the Scots to finish one of the biggest returns in the history of the tournament.
Kenya had taken a quick lead through four unanswered tries by Collins Injera, Nelson Oyoo, William Ambaka and Jeff Oluoch. Innocent Simiyu's boys were in control and were indeed about to establish a quarter-final with South Africa.
But a fraction of minutes of mischief, a playoff game spoiled for one side and recorded for another as an unexpected has happened; Two players from Shujaa, Oliech and Ngethe were successively put in the trash.
Oliech was sent off first for a high tackle before Ngethe followed him for throwing the ball.
And it seems that this is exactly the moment that Scotland was waiting.
The Europeans, who were then 28-17 behind at death, clinically leveraged their numerical advantage to oust former Singapore champions at seven and relegate them to the Challenge Trophy.
Like Shujaa fans around the world, Collins Injera, visibly discouraged, could not believe keeping his head in his hands after Jamie Farndale scored the final try of the game.
Kenya, which was to play Ireland in the quarter-finals of the Challenge last night (12:04), made the tournament dream by beating Tonga 19-7 in the preliminary round.
