BLACK STARS DROWNED THE PHARAOHS

I don’t ever recalling anybody making a heavy prediction in favour of Ghana in the most anticipated match in the play offs for Brazil 2014.

It was the usual attitude of hoping for the best without sticking one’s neck to say the Black Stars could win 6-1 against the Pharaoh in the first leg in Ghana.

Personally, I predicted 4-1 in favour of the Black Stars of Ghana but it went beyond it in the favour my motherland. The pairing of Ghana and Egypt in the World Cup play off for Brazil 2014 was the fiercest amongst all the fixtures for African representatives in next year’s mundial.

Probably, the winner in the Ghana-Egypt fixture will give Africa its true representative in the global showpiece in Brazil. Ghana made it to the quarter finals in South Africa 2010 where Uruguay denied Ghana from making history. Some pundits and writers on 15th October, 2013 decided to revise their notes as the Black Stars of Ghana demolished the Pharaohs 6-1 in Kumasi.

From afar one was tempted to conclude that the dominance of Egypt on the African continent was over. He or she could be right but there is a return in November.

If the Pharaohs are able to overturn the score line, they will pick one of the slots for Africa in next year’s competition. However, the current political tension in Egypt is casting some doubt on the security of the Ghanaian players and spectators for the return fixture.

Though Egyptian officials insist their country is safe, some Ghanaians are calling for a neutral ground for the return match in November.

GO GHANA...GO FOR THE WIN...BRAZIL,HERE WE COME!
