    I have confidence that gh will.do wonders and top the group. FUCK fifa and their bogus ratings. It won't be easy, bit doable. We must approach every game like it's a knock out, play off game!

  • OBG- Diatuo 9 years ago

    I used to thrash the FIFA rankings because I personally and subjectively ranked Ghana higher. But one thing we forget is that Ghana is successful only against African opposition outside of the World Cup. Since when did Ghana ...

  • SUPERIORITY COMPLEX 9 years ago

    There is no better motivation than to be underrated.

    That's when the juice, the adrenaline rush, is at its most intense.

    Of all people, the Americans should be the last to underrate us, but hey, America is a SUPERIORITY ...
