Nyaho Tamakloe says the Black Stars will not win the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations
Controversial ex-Ghana FA chief Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe says Burkina Faso will win the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations insisting the Black Stars have no chance of annexing the trophy.
Dr. Tamakloe is tipping the Stallions to surprise connoisseurs placing only the Ivory Coast as potential spoilers of the Burkinabe party.
He ruled Ghana out of contention for the trophy, insisting that the Black Stars lack the quality possessed by other contenders at the 29th mega showpiece of African football.
“I don’t think we can win this tournament and I’m being honest with you. We still have problems with our strikers, serious problems”, Nyaho told the 90 MINUTES newspaper.
“We have to come back and do a better work. Look at the type of game Burkina Faso played (against Ethiopia) and you think Ghana can face them?”, he queried.
“Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast can easily take this cup because the set of players they have play aggressive football, are experienced and they have stamina.
He explained: “Realistically, football on the continent has changed and there is little to choose between the teams.
“Countries who a few years back wouldn’t have even been mentioned are playing great football. Look at Ethiopia, look at Burkina Faso, look at Mali and Niger, look at the football DR Congo played against us.”
“The quality of play has been high and we have youthful players but have they got the experience, the skill? We have to look at our strikers, Ghana doesn’t have strikers like Gervinho, Drogba or Yaya Toure.
“I insist on young players but they must be quality players. We don’t have quality players so I think we’ll be returning home soon,” he fired.

Burkina Faso winning the cup? Hehehe!!! Ghana is full of clowns!
Hope you are still giggling like a Hyena.
We should deported this guy to Burkina Faso!
Hateful devilish ugly fool! This moron knows NOTHIGN!! Burkina has never even made it to the Knockout stage! Kwaseato!!!
In Ghana every IDIOT has an opinion and his moronic statements are not backed by any facts!!
Bravo Dr Nyaho, you are very very correct, Ghana has no experienced and quality players and will be returning home very soon. Ghanians just like talking they don’t have a team. I salute yo Dr, you have heat the nail on the head. This is the fact that many Ghanians have been disputing. its good that this information is coming from their senior official.
Viva, Dr Nyaho
Shut up Nigerian APE!!!!Your Keshi led dirty boys will go out in the group! Ofui!! Go back to your Boko life!!!
I think that no one can really make any predictions in this tournament. It is really wide open. The only team that is clearly superior is Ivory Coast and we all know that they can have their bad days…I think he went a bit far in picking Burkina Faso.
Ivory Coast is not superior but, average!
Lol, Burkina who?ahi Dr Tamakloe paa!! Well he is spoking his mind, let see. Ghana will win 2 goals.
The only difference between Mamadou Gaye and Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe is that, they are from different countries. While we are moving forward, Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe is pulling us back. Are supposed to be crying over spilt milk? Is Dede the only player in Ghana? haba!!
This comment was not meant for this article…my bad!
Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe we will keep your prediction that Burkina Faso will win 2013 AFCON in mind.
we will come back to this page when burkina goes home.
This Dr is right as far as the Bukina Faso vs Ethiopia game. Ethiopia had their influential Skipper taken off. That changed their game.
BF reacted very well to the absence of his strength. Do you think it will be the same ball game against Zambia?
Ghana Vs Congo DR was not that bad as he states or made to believe. Ghana has the stamina but it was not their day.
It is true football has improved in Africa
Thank you Headman Uzo -Chief Tembwe…
Zambia will take care of BF and those man will keep his mouth shut. Zambia vs Ghana in the Final.
I SEE SOME FEAR IN YOUR COMMENT MAN…ARE YOU SURE ZAMBIA CAN EVEN MAKE IT OUT OF THE GROUP STAGE??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????…I DONT THINK SO!!!
meant to say that man comments will be put to rest.
in fact people are writing horrible expressions on this site. please check your grammer, if you’re writing shorthand, or pijin English do so, but don’t write words like spoking, aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!
@lalasu it is pidgin not pijin
