   Just his thoughts. It is not scientific and it is not etched in stone.

   Wise statement,this sort of statements can only help us.Abedi knows what he is doing.This can only reduce the load on our players, and eyes will not be on us too much,creating mare room for the players to breath.We should not expect Abedi to come and say we will win the cup at all cost.We know we have a chance and that should be unto God and us alone.Inshah-Allah we will be there.

   What does this mean? Traditional HEAVYWEIGHTs. I am just sick and tired of hearing every Tom, Dick or Harry use this stupid references on especially Nigeria and Cameroon on what grounds?

   Who cares if they are in the tournament. Ghanaians, especially those who need to know better like Abedi Pele and the likes should stop giving unnecessary accolades to rivals who are not even on our level.
   They are all acting as if we afraid of them.

   This nonsense should stop.

     They are tradition heavy weight because consistently perform well at CAN ie not just make it to the tournament but always make it past the quarter finals at least based on their history they are heavyweights and they won the cup more recently than Ghana. It’s like trying to deny Ghana being a traditional heavyweight which we are based on our history and record at the tournament. They are traditional heavyweights just that currently based on form of the last 6 years we are super heavyweights and we will be playing with a bulls-eye on our back cos there is no country in Africa that doesn’t know what we achieved at the last CAN and worldcup and they will be more motivated to beat up than any other team thus making the tournament extra hard for us but we shall prevail inshaAllah.

     You;re making your point well, but you could be a bit descent in your choice of words. Let’s keep this MATURED culture of proper use of language as we get the opportunity; that’s Ghana. Let’s keep talking, but with much diligence. Thank you.

   I think Abedi Pele just hit the nail right on the head. Its about time we call a spade a spade and not a big spoon. There is absolutely NO way the Black Stars will clinch the 2012 Nations Cup with the kind of players we have left behind like the Richard Kingson among others. At least history tells the Nations Cup has always been won by committed team that has character combine with vast of experience. A reason why Egypt has won the Nations Cup more than any other country. I perfectly agree with Nigerian legend Keshi that Ghana has no big characters in their squad to aid us win the trophy. I see Ghana making it to the quarter finals.

   This is just gross misuse of phrases. People should stop labeling these countries/teams as traditional heavyweights. Its Ghana that is rather a traditional heavyweight if that is anything that makes a difference in today’s football. Ghana beat Nigeria in 2008 and in 2010 afcons. Ghana was in last eight in 2010 world cup where the so called traditional heavyweights performed below par. Cameroon is inconsistent. These so called heavyweights could not qualify for 2012 afcon yet they are being labeled traditional heavyweights. Traditional heavyweights my ass. Give the teams that qualified credit they deserve. It’s simple the so called traditional heavyweights did not qualify because they are not good and have been inconsistent over the years. Abedi is just trying to be diplomatic here and do not want to sound like wack keshi.

   THIS IS A DANGEROUS TRUTH BECOS EVERY TEAM IN AFRICA WANT TO BEAT GHANA.TO BEAT GHANA IS A REFERENCE ALGERIAN COATCH ONCE SAID AFTER THEIR TRICKY MATCH AT TLEMCEN IN ALGERIA WHICH PUSH GHANA OUT THE WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS.THAT TIME WE BOAST THE LIKES OF ABEDI,BAFOE,TONY YEBOAH,EDWARD ANSAH,AKUNOR ETC.LET JAH BE PRAISED ABEDI.TIME HAS COME FOR THE CUP TO BE BROUGHT TO GHANA.

   In ANGOLA COTE DIVOIRE BEAT GHANA BUT GHANA WENT UP TO THE FINAL TO PLAY EGYPT.

   It doesn’t cost anything to be optimistic.
   I don’t see any obstacle. Ghana Will this time, lift the 2012 trophy. Let’s believe God for that.
