Black star all the way Malawi can eat 1000 bags of gari.we will beat them.
My brothers and sisters Malawi has a strong team full of lefties.Thay drew with nigeria in the 2014 qualifier.Our coach is not reliable and so we should expect a very tough match.

Infact i’m not confident with the coach bt th way all th best
Ghana the team that wins matches even b4 a ball has bn kicked will b kicked out by the FLAMES of MALAWI.
Ghana wil be underdogs 2 this Malawi. If Our nearbour Zambia did it, why not Malawi on this small time. Ghanas should ask Egypt,Nigeria,Algeria,Ivory Coast ,Moroco & DRC what we did on them.
Ghana will definately qualify 4 SA 2013. Jealousy go shame. God Bless our Homeland GH
Zambia shd beware for an afcon hungry country who were at the brink last time but cote dvoire senegal-a must watch
Yes! Dis is a walk over 4 de stars… thumps up kwasi appiah n my mentor konadu!
These are the kind of match ups that can be quite dangerous. The Black Stars have to be very aggressive in these two games. No lackidasical defensive play. We need Quincy.

The black scars will be burnt in malawi and in okra.
All the non ghanaians who cme here re obsessed wid ghana. we re ur prize. i noe zambians wil prefer beatin us dan than qualify 4 brazil. *PITY*. i dnt blame u. ask nigeria wen was the last tym they beat the stars. it took u a whole 50 smethn yrs 2 win one cup n u think u can equal ghana? ask nigeria. if u try 2 chase a star, u break ur spine. too bad…
