Ghanain striker Asamoah Gyan
urges Nigeria to defeat
Uruguay at the
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 Americans rejoiced, 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 they
lie 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!
