A relatively inexperienced

“I think it is even difficult to explain what this trophy can mean to Ghana and to me,” Andre said in an interview with ESPN.
“I know our nation is been waiting for this for a long time now. They really want to have the joy of a winning team.
“We have a team which has been doing well, let me say since 2006, Ghana has been progressing and progressing.”
“Now we’ve got to a level where we need to win trophies and I think that’s the only way we can get satisfaction. So we are going to give our best and I believe that. Personally I am going to be very proud and happy to have done something for my country,” he added.

The drought will still be on
@Kofi Africa, lol you are funny,i just hope u are not one of those nigerians who peep on our website to post rubbish comment,anyway i don`t think we can win this trophy cus whenever we are expected to do something we always fail but when we are underrated or underestimated we always triumph,the history always prove what i just stated.
@poisnousmouth: Have faith that Ghana is going to win the trophy this time around. What history actually dictates with Ghana on whenever there was expectaion for us to win a tournament we fail because we used to have big name players such as Tony Yeboah, Tony Baffour, Stanley Abora, Emmanuel Armah, Prince Opoku at a time when the whole of Africa expected us to win AFCONS but we failed and did not even qualify the World Cup. The difference between the current charges and that of the big names squad is that we as a nation used to have individual star players like those mentioned above…Ooops, I did not mentioned the maestro, Abedi Pele but now, we do actually have a cohesion of a very good team. Its a team work now, that is why its hard for any country to beat Ghana just as we saw in the recent games against Brazil and England. So let us all keep the faith that our good team is going to perform miracles.
NIGERIAN FOOLS, YOU NIGERIANS ENVY US GHANAIAN”S BECAUSE OF OUR SUCCESS IN EVERYTHING WE DO. YOU FOOLISH NIGERIANS WILL ALWAYS ENVY US AND WE WILL FOREVER LEAD YOU PEOPLES IN EVERYTHING WE WILL DO. GHANAIAN ARE BORN TO BE CHAMPIONS BECAUSE WE RESPECT GOD AND OBEY HIM. WE ARE NOT LIKE YOU FOOLISH NIGERIAN. YOU NIGERIANS ARE POOR PEOPLES LIVING IN STINKING CORRUPT COUNTRY WITH BOMB ATTACK EVERY WEEK.. HAHAHAHAHA, NIGERIANS THINK ABOUT YOURSELVES. FOOLS……….
That is the right spirit
You beauties, I know by the grace of God you are going to come home with the CUP. We have been knocking at the door for the past six years and I know this is it. God bless Ghana and all Ghanaians.
