youngprofdguru: I predict Nigeria's group will be Brazil, Uruguay and Bosnia

IYA NGBALI: I would like Nigeria to be drawn with spain,brazil and germany,so that we can teach them soccer

Wale112: I pray nigeria gets a difficult group so they lose all their matches..

CFCfan: I don't think they were genuine favorites in 2010 too.

bin gbagbo: of course you know Ghana isnt a third prize team?

even the current Afcon winners fear mighty GHANA...LOL

PetroDolla2: Mali has never been a threat and will never be a threat to the Mighty GHANA. are you a novice in football? go back and study football history. I repeat, Mali is no match. we even beat them 2-0 in Bamako, in front of their homes fans in 2009 when we played them in the 2010 world cup qualifiers. Ghana went to Bamako and spanked the Malians, who were coached by one Stephen[b] big stomach[/b] okechukwu keshit 2-0! Mali wanted badly to go SA2010 to mark their 50th independence, but Ghana, as usual, proved too too strong for them

Mali have long been our wives, just like the supa chinchins

Afam4eva: France is another overhyped team. I don't see them going far in this world cup. I don't even see them as a force.

homesteady: Yea! France and Australia will be eliminated

bin gbagbo: 5.Ghana was the only African team to emerge from the group stages in the 2006 world cup

6.Ghana was the only African team to have again emerged from group stages in the 2010 world cup almost making the semis when Nigeria couldnt win a single match

7. Ghana currently without a doubt has the best team in Africa(gyan, essien, sulley, atsu, ayews, warris, kevin etc)

Renylee: The trouble of social networks. U r about to get married and u still engage in silly chats? R u supposed to be matured or what? Guy, u av to be patient, she'll come around if she truly loves u.

safarigirl: This is in reply to Bin Gbabo's 'Reasons why Ghana must win 2014 World Cup'.

1. We are 2013 African Champions

2. We are the first and only African Nation to have gotten to Number 5 on the FIFA rankings.

3. We are the first and only African country till date to have won Olympic Gold in football.

4. We are current World Champions at the U-17 level, so it is only right that we complement that with a World Cup

5. Brazil 2014 will make it 20 years since we made our debut appearance at the World Cup, it is only expected, that we celebrate that properly with a win.

6. We need Keshi to be the first black African to have won the World Cup, to complement his title as first black African to win the AFCON....
