First off it was a great result for us this morning in our hopes for
Tunisia to top Group C. Morocco were always looking like the toughest
challenger, so a win was huge. Not home yet though as Gabon also got the
3 points and with their co-hosts EG getting a win on Sunday it looks
like the home crowds may be worth a goal.
Anyway onto
the early game tomorrow and Ghana take on tournament outsider Botswana. I
am by no means convinced that Ghana are genuine contenders for the
title, mainly due to the quality of players they have missing and some
concerns over their strikers, or should I say lack of them. Gyan is the
go to man but is he really of the same class as some of the other
poachers getting about in this tournament? Also I am not sure he is
fully fit, but of more concern is that beyond him is a real lack of
depth. Prince Tagoe is not going to score many, Jordan Ayew is class but
maybe a little young and then you are relying on his brother to get
some from a little deeper maybe. I don't know, not convinced.
With
all that said they come up against Botswana tomorrow in a group match
and not the Ivory Coast or Senegal in the final. With that in mind I am
excited to see them strut their stuff and am confident they will chalk
up a victory. Like most of these less fancied footballing nations
Botswana will likely prove tough to break down so not expecting many
goals, but taking Ghana for the win. I will even try and get up for the
3am start as I would like to see Ghana first hand and hopefully both
Ayew brothers start and maybe collectively the team can change my
perceptions of them.
