NO REPEAT BUT VENGEANCE FOR BLACK SATELLITES

There is a saying that “ He who is down fears no fall”. This could be the saying of some soccer-loving fans who are enjoying this year’s Under 20 tournament currently ongoing in Turkey as the Black Satellites of Ghana battle the French junior side for the second time.

When the two countries met at the group stages, the French outwitted the Ghanaian side with a 3-1 win sending clear signals to any other team in the competition.

Coincidentally, both teams managed to sail through and are meeting for the second time but this time around at the semi-finals stage of the tourney tomorrow 10th July, 2013.

One question that lingers on the minds of pundits is,are the French going to repeat the dose or is it a revenge for the Ghanaians?.

What makes this match more dicey is the fact that the Satellite have gained a certain momentum after their streak of defeat in their first two matches. This led to beating of United States in their last group game, Portugal and Chile at the round of 16 and quarter finals respectively.

If the tenacity shown by the sole representative of Africa in the tourney is anything to go by, the French could be given a good ran for their money.

There is nothing more motivating for these guys than beating France and playing in the finals which could go Ghana's way.

Whether a repeat or a revenge,time will surely tell.
