"Expectations might be a problem when you know that people look for a lot from you. The key is to keep your concentration.”
This is a quote that Ghana’s former coach, Claude Le Roy, recently made concerning the Black Stars.
Indeed, now that they have kicked out the 2010 Nations Cup’s hosts, expectations are heavy on them to clinch the trophy.
Nigeria v Ghana
Two years ago, the Nigerian national football team left Ghana on a sour note after they suffered a controversial and rare defeat against the Black Stars in the quarter-finals of the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations.
In Angola this time, they will do everything to make sure that they have taken revenge on the Ghanaians.
Nigeria have lost in the semi-finals of the Nations Cup so many times in their history of football. At six occasions, they suffered defeat at that particular stage.
They’ll be hoping to avoid “disappointment number 7” by clinching the perfect result against Ghana on Thursday.
