I just watched the Ghana-Brazil friendly. They were very impressive. Obviously not intimidated by Brazil. Defence was a little dodgy at times but a good tachtical manager could fix that with the athletes they have. What they really need is a good finisher. A big athletic African striker the likes of Drogba could have had a hat trick in that game.

Ghana's Black Stars will spend the next nine months without any competitive action, but it will be far from a dormant period for the West African giants' footballing heroes.
As they mark a breakthrough into the top-20 of the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking this month, Ghana continue frenetic preparations for their hosting of the 2008 CAF Africa Cup of Nations finals.
Ghana are seeking to reclaim a crown they last lifted back in 1982, a task they have turned over to the wily and canny expertise of Frenchman Claude LeRoy. The former Racing Strasbourg manager long ago made his mark on African football, notably winning the Nations Cup with Cameroon, who he also took to the FIFA World Cup finals in his native country in 1998.
Ghana's young generation, epitomised by the world-class talents of Fenerbache midfielder Stephen Appiah and his Chelsea partner Michael 'the Bison' Essien, have been growing in stature rapidly, boosted by the confidence gained from their debut showing at the 2002 FIFA World Cup finals in Germany last year.

I've met a few guys from Ghana. Just like anyone else really. I think Ghana produces a lot of chocolate, or at least ingredients for chocolate. I think it would be an interesting place to visit. I want several Ghanaese wives and a hut where I'm the king of them.

I think they've got a good team, some qaulity players, but their success in the World Cup was a fluke. Czech Republic lost because two of their best strikers were out by injury, and US just sucks. Kudos to them for making it farther than any other African nation, but good luck trying to beat that feat in '10.
