After Ghana’s  tremendous performance  at the 2010 FiFA World Cup Tournament, it is not surprising that the fruits of the stars’ labour are pushing up their FIFA rankings. Compared to the Nigerian Footballing Body which is presently in a state of confusion and obviously far from a role model state, I am happy with the turn Ghana’s football has taken and as negotiations are on the way to secure a play with England….

Congrats to Ghana footballers and the current management!
