Look at the difference in preparations by both teams.While the Nigerian team only started preparations two weeks ago with just one friendly reported and against a non league side,the Ghanaian team which has started preparations few months ago are busy playing high grade friendlies.
We aren’t seriois in this country,let’s just assume the game against the black stars is already been lost even before kick off based on the level of preparation.
1st leg wil result Ghana 1 Nigeria 1
2nd leg Nigeria 2 Ghana 2.
Ghana to qualify on
goals advantage.
The Gods are not to blame.
What is this reporter insinuating that Ghana home base lose to Qatar world cup team by a very narrow margin meaning our featherless eagle can match them or beat them. Ghana has been preparing for the past three months. They played series of friendly games at home before go abroad to perfect the team with more quality and grade A friendly games. You want to compare them with our team with match-rust and unfit players who have been on break ever since. A team which a retire playeer (Onazi) is the captain and which could only play one match against an academy because they could not get a team to play What a funny team. Lack of organisations and good leadership in the sector.
Just get ready for whitewashing by the Ghana in both legs. Ghana is coming to humiliate the second time.
You might be in for a rude shock.
This is football and anything can happened and besides, Ghana and Nigeria matches defy logic! Preparation means nothing on the day!! Is always the team that’s hunger, that almost wins!!
