Confederations Cup in Brazil to avenge the defeat the Black Stars
suffered at the hands of the South American country.
The last time when Ghana team played the one from Uruguay, South
Americansrejoiced, and all Africans could do was to watch helpessly as
Ghana allowed a victory to be wrestled from their grasp. It has been
quite a while since that fateful July evening in Johannesburg, and
things have changed dramatically for the side that would eventually
lose to Germany in the third-place game by a lone goal.
While the South American champions still boast of the mercurial and
cunning Suarez, the rest of the team has lost its fizzle and is far
removed from that sound side that impressed us all at the World cup.
They currently stand on equal footing with the Africa champion, but
only because Nigeria has not found her groove in the last three games
she has played.
Their bid to win through to Brazil next year is in considerable
jeopardy, as theylie in the inglorious sixth place in the South
American qualifier. So they simply can't throw caution to the wind and
must guard against injury.
The reminder to get revenge for the entire Africa came even from the
Ghanaian Asamoah Gyan, who sent the Eagles a special message urging
them on to victory. It simply read "do it for Africa".
Go Super Eagles! Do it for Africa!
