@TT, Thanks man!! Nice one.
He was asked by a Ghanaian radio station, what do u expect the answer to be?
Do not believe the hype
we are always the favourite but in the end we come home empty handed. Hope it won’t happen this time around.
CAN SOMEBODY EXPLAIN TO HOW AND WHEN “HAVEN” REPLACED “HAVING” IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE ? I’VE BEEN READING ARTICLES ON THIS SITE WHERE “HAVEN” IS PURPORTEDLY USED AS “HAVING” . PERHAPS THERE ARE NO WEB ADMINISTRATOR AND EDITOR . ANYWAY, NO SERIOUS MINDED TEAMS AND PLAYERS TAKE THESE FAVOURITE TAGS SERIOUSLY THESE DAYS.OTHERWISE,IVORY COAST WOULD HAVE BEEN AFRICAN CHAMPIONS FOR THE LAST FOUR EDITIONS OF THE AFCON. BLACKSTARS SHOULD IGNORE ALL THESE MIND GAMES AND CONCENTRATE ON SET-PIECE PRACTICE!
Pls how on earth we ghana win a competition dat king zambia her? Don’t knw ghana can only win a competition where there is no king zambia?
Ooh so u thk he was going to say Ghana will be eliminated on Ghanaian radio?. He is a professional coach. so don’t espect him to say anythg differnt.
