Ghana arrive in Egypt

Madagascar football National team, AKA the Barea is one of the first timer AFCON teams just like the Swallows at war of Burundi. Many know very little about the Barea and would easily be deceived in writing the debutants off but hey, you do that at your own peril. Below are ten reasons why Madagascar will be a force to reckon with this AFCON:

1. They have a very good French coach in the person of Nicholas Dupuis, and we all know what French coaches like Claude Leroy, Nerve Reinhard, Michel Dussuyer and the like have done in AFCON history

2. They have very good players including qualifier group A top scorer Faneva Ima Andriamatsinoro , Thomas Fontaine of Reims and Jeremy Morel of Lyon.

3. They were the first team to qualify for the 2019 AFCON and with two games to spare in a group which had. the dreaded Senegal, Sudan and Equitorial Guinea.

4. Madagascar is the reason why Sudan are absent in this years AFCON

5. Madagascar actually defeated Sudan by 3 goals to 1 in Khartoum, a very difficult venue for even Africa's big boys

6. Madagascar held the dreaded Senegal in Antananarivo, same Senegal that defeated Nigeria a few days ago

7. CAF president is from Madagascar, if you are a real African you know what this means.

8. Madagascar scored two goals against Senegal and Will have the confidence to score any other team


9. There will be no pressure on them to impress

10. They conceded only 8 goals throughout the qualifiers that had 6 games so they concede less than 2 goal s per game which makes them very dangerous

Nigerians always calculating

chrisooblog:
actually yes we beat egypt in march please remind me when last the black bulbs won a major trophy

Check FIFA rankings Ghana is way ahead of Egypt that couldn't win a single match at the world cup

Spits

Knowing they will finish bottom on that table look at some funny lies they have began telling

Burundi awaits you

Final Table Group B

Guinea 7 +7
Burundi 7+ 5
Madagascar 3 -1
Nigeria 0 - 9

6. Burundi have a solid defence

7. Burundi drew with AFCON favourites Algeria in June 7 2019

8. Burundi have a very potent attack, they actually beat south Sudan 5-2 in South Sudan

9. They have very young players so play with great intensity

10. It's their first time Afcon so would love to leave a mark

1. Burundi qualified to this AFCON unbeaten

2. That chap Fiston Abdul Razak is such a dangerous finisher, he was amongst Africa's top scorers during the qualifiers

3. The Saido Berahino factor, a chap that nearly played for the three Lions of England

4. Burundi drew giants Mali in Bamako

5. Burundi is the reason why Aubameyamgs Gabon couldn't make this Afcon

The few examples cited above are all Ghanaian because I am Ghanaian and I know there are similar stories the world over

On the contrary, is spiritism is the key, how come countries such as India and Benin who are noted for extreme spiritism haven't won football laurels?

True to the said prediction, Kotoko were crowned African club champions and soon after, their talismanic goalkeeper , Robert Mensah died mysteriously . 2000 caf champions league winners, Accra hearts of Oak found themselves in the grand finale of that same competition , but were told by a spiritualist if they won, of their players would die, as such they had to play soft to lose the trophy . In 2009, Ghana became the first and only African team to win the much coveted under 20 world cup. A tournament which is rated by FIFA second only the the senior men's world cup. Before that tournament, spiritualist s had told the coach of the side, sellas tetteh Ghana was going. The red card in the grand finale to a Ghana player was truthfully predicted. Andre Ayew was directed by a spiritualist and hurray, Ghana won.

Football is doubtlessly the biggest sports in the world. Football like all other human endeavour has several ramifications, one of which is spiritism.

There is a school of thought which postulates, football is a completely spiritual engagement and thus proceedings and eventual results are highly influenced by the supernatural or the spiritual world. There are countless stories I have heard from very credible sources of how football match results were correctly predicted by some spiritualists as well as some happenings in the said games. African football club of the century, Kumasi Asante Kotoko (awarded by the International Football History and Statistics) won the African champions league in 1981. It is told that, before they played in the grand final, a spiritualist had told the team, Kotoko would win but afterwards , one of their players would die

A little history


A rivalry that can be traced to the JALCO Cup, an international competition between the two countries, which commenced in Ghana (then Gold Coast) in 1951. Gold coast had won every tie she had hosted in 1951, 1953, and 1955, while Nigeria had also won at home in 1952, 1954, and 1956

The 1955 edition was perhaps the most dramatic, where Nigeria lost by a whopping 7 goals to nil to their remorseless Ghanaian counterparts.

With the legendary Nigerian broadcaster, Isola Folorunso, saddled with the unpleasant duty of commentating to millions of Nigerians from the match venue in Accra, he painfully described each of the seven goals which found Nigeria's net. Helping to rub it in perhaps, Folorunso's partner in the radio broadcast booth, a Ghanaian, announced thus: "Gold Coast 7, Nigeria, nothing!"

It was a disaster to Nigerian football, and even though Nigeria won at home 3-0 the following year at the King George V stadium, the pain of the 7-nil massacre was still very deep.

The 1958 edition of the JALCO Cup was perhaps the most melodramatic. The Black Stars came to Lagos determined to avenge Nigeria's first win on Ghanaian soil. The score was 2-2 when an unfortunate, if not scandalous decision by the centre referee almost completely ruined a match of outstanding quality.

Hell broke loose as the Black Stars, captained by Ghanaian legend Charles Gyamfi, protested the "goal" vehemently. A furious wife of Ohene Djan stormed the field and slapped the centre referee, causing the match to be stopped for twenty minutes.

Somehow, Ohene Djan succeeded in calming down his players as the match resumed but could not produce another goal. Nigeria thus denied the Black Stars any form of vengeance. With that victory, Nigeria led narrowly in their career head-to-head confrontations against Ghana, having won four matches to Ghana's three and drawing the seventh.

After Nigeria's controversial 1958 victory, with Peter Osugo of the Daily Times describing that winning "goal" a "most unacceptable one", there was no love lost between the two countries, and the JALCO cup annual competition died a natural death.

When Nigeria celebrated her Independence in October 1960 and decided to invite the Black Stars to participate in the joyous occasion, climaxed by an always eagerly anticipated football match-up between the two countries, it proved to be a costly mistake for the celebrants.

Ghana wanted vengeance, regardless of the fact that Nigeria invited their neighbours to join their Independence "party." With both countries fielding their stronger teams, the Baba Yara-led Black Stars handed Nigeria a 3-nil bashing right there at the National Stadium in Lagos.

Jalco Cup may have been a thing of the past, the rivalry between the two countries continued as each was sure to cross each other's path in different international tournaments.

The 1960 Olympic Games qualifier was one of the competitive matches between the two countries after the cancellation of the annual JALCO CUP. Towards the 1960 Rome Olympics, Nigeria, Ghana and Egypt were grouped together to fight for the sole African ticket to the soccer event at the Games. Nigeria lost the chance to qualify when the Green Eagles lost 4-1 to Ghana after having beaten the Black Stars 3-1 in Lagos two weeks earlier.

Two years later, Ghana and Nigeria were matched together, this time for Africa's sole ticket to the 1962 World Cup finals slated for Chile. Again, the Black stars prevailed by handing Nigeria another 4-1 bashing in Accra after earlier forcing their hosts to a 2-2 draw in Lagos.

Qualification for the 1970 World Cup finals in Mexico provided another opportunity for Nigeria to try Ghana for size. This time, the outcome was different as the Green Eagles followed their 2-1 victory in Lagos with a hard-fought and deserved 1-1 draw in Accra.

In 1973, at the 2nd All-Africa Games which Nigeria hosted, the Green Eagles beat Ghana 4-2 on their way to winning the gold medal. But the overflowing joy of millions of Nigerians was shortlived when, only two months later, the Black Stars returned to Lagos and caused a monumental upset by defeating hosts Nigeria 3-2 at the National Stadium, Lagos. What happened immediately after the shock defeat is better forgotten than recanted as hoodlums descended on the visiting Ghanaian team and burnt their bus.

When Ghana hosted the African Nations Cup in 1978, both countries were in the same group, in which the Green Eagles forced the hosts to a 1-1 draw before Ghana went on to win the Nations Cup for a third time.

However, the bitter rivalry between Ghana and Nigeria resurfaced in the qualifiers to the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. In the second round of the qualifiers, the Green Eagles drew 0-0 with Ghana in Lagos only to travel to Accra to surprise the Black Stars, beating them 2-1.

Ghana and Nigeria clashed again at the Africa Nations Cup hosted by Cote D'Ivoire. In Bouake, Nigeria defeated Ghana 2-1. Ghana and Nigeria met again at the 1992 Nations Cup in Senegal, where eventual runners- defeated Nigeria 2-1 in the semi-final with an incredible Abedi Pele's header from a corner kick.

Nigeria was later to be matched against Ghana in the qualifiers towards the JAPAN/KOREA World Cup finals, with the Super Eagles trouncing the Black Stars 3-0 after a goaless draw in Accra. In Mali 2002, Nigeria again prevailed over Ghana 1-0 in the quarter-final stage, and it was the same scoreline when the two clashed at the last edition of the Nations Cup in Egypt, with Taye Taiwo scoring the lone goal of the match.

The last clash of note between the two countries occurred in London last February at the Brenford's Griffin Park. Even though the match was classified as only an international friendly, followers of the age-long competitions between the two neighbours knew that any confrontation between the two countries would be everything but friendly.

Nigerian and Ghanaian residents in London certainly did not buy the "friendly" stuff. To them, it was time to secure bragging rights. The manner of Ghana's convincing 4-1 slaughter of Nigeria was even just as humiliating as the 7-nil massacre at the Accra Sports Stadium in October 1957.

Watch out Africa

Football is coming home

Ghana did not qualify for the 2018 world cup because of internal politics that u don't know a thread about


Ghana rules and you know

All African teams dread Ghana

Ask Egypt they will tell you

Earthquake3:
You lost all your last competive games that's why you didn't qualify for the world cup

By the way Namibia that thrashed you is not even in that list or the second list

Ignorance, Ghana lost only one game in the world cup qualifiers, only one and that was away to Egypt, go check

Keep yabbing till we grab you by the collar at the Afcon, you can't even beat senegal

Its true Nigeria was beaten blue black by Senegal's team B

Earthquake3:
Look at where these losers are

Where is South Africa who beat nigeria on Nigeria Soil on the FIFA ranking? I mean beat Nigeria in a competitive game....Ghana did a trial of personnel and tactics against Namibia and lost....a game Ghana actually missed to penalties

You are very funny

oluyara:
How come Ghanaians saw the game when it was played behind closed door. They must be spying on the eagles

Because Ghanaians have constant and reliable power supply to watch TV, great to be a Ghanaian, the pride of Africa

Go ask your coach rohr why he wanted to play the black stars badly but the black Stars declined because we wanted a better opposition in South Africa who beat Nigeria on home soil

oluyara:
Elder. Ghana taught Nigeria how to play yet they are languishing in sixth on CAF rankings.

You must be a novice, if u take FIFA ranking seriously

Ghana beat world number 2 Czech republic at the 2006 world cup, again Ghana beat world number 3 Serbia at the 2010 world cup, just as we will beat Nigeria now, who takes that ranking seriously?
