Ghanaians want to avoid Eagles

Supporters of the home team, the Black Stars have been praying and fasting against possible meeting with the Super Eagles at the quarter final stage. Hundreds of Black Stars supporters’ who bared their minds to our correspondents, said it will not be fair for the two West African neighbours to meet in the quarter final stage.
Niquaye Owusu, a taxi driver categorically predicted that Black Stars will be eliminated by the Super Eagles should both teams clash in the next round. He said though Nigeria lost her first match against Ivory Coast , the team remained the continent’s strongest. His words “No, no, no, that match should not come now. CAF should rather reserve it for the last stage. The two teams are too good to meet in the second round. I am sure just like other Ghanaians that once Ghana meets Nigeria in the quarter final we will be in trouble.”
Another supporter of the home team, Safinas Addo, expressly said the excitement associated with the competition among Ghanaians will be cut short should Nigeria clash with the Black Stars. “Let us not think about that because that will eventually cut short the excitement and fun that Ghanaians have been having since the tournament started.

Nigeria has a good team and we are afraid that if they meet Ghana in the next stage, they will knock us out.”
