Life is what you make it. If you have no belief or worth in self, you take it out on others. It's just the way it is. Get around positive minded people, will do you a world of good. Good luck.

Don't deceive yourself. A group that has a trio of past winners of the tournament can best be described as the group of death. Any of the three teams can easily beat us just as we can do to them.

During the world cup Germany found it difficult to beat Ghana and Algeria, you watch the games again. It is also South Africa that caused the elimination of Nigeria, then you have a dangerous team like Senegal there. Group C is clearly the though group.
With group D you can say Ivory Coast and Cameroon stands out clear so I will give the group of death to the Ghana group which is group C.

Sorry, guys, those who always refer to a Group of Death only do so in fun, in anticipation of the POTENTIAL toughest pairings.

It spices up the conversation, and is not meant to denigrate other teams.

The term has, for a long time, been there for every football tournament.

Let's have some fun in analyzing Groups of Death and Groups of Life.

Lucky participants, thank your stars for the absence of the Pharaohs in 2012, 2013 and 2015.

Every group here is a group of death, no easy group here. I think our group is even better than others. Senegal and South Africa are no giants, we should make it out of the group without too much fuss

We have been handed the MOST CONFIDENT set of opponents we could have gotten. All the teams in this tournament are good except maybe Eq. Guinea but to be honest, they could surprise. They did it before.

Who told you Senegal and South Africa are no giants?. South Africa has been the world cup twice, in fact they even went before us, and won the African cup in 1996,compared to us who last won in 1982.Senegal also got to the quarter finals and in the world cup(even beat the defending champions, France) all though have not the AFCON cup before, but have been impressive in their qualifiers. The same applies to South Africa( Also beat Spain former world champions in a friendly match). We lost to ordinary Uganda and struggled against Guinea, and you are here bluffing. This is how some of you made noise before the world cup, and ran into exile after world cup.

Ghana is always after cheap countries to play with, and at the end of the day jubilate after wining. That is why they are jittery in calling the group "death". Cheap seekers.

In my opinion, every group at the tournament is a group of DEATH in it's own way, and not just Ghana's group. The best from Africa are lined up at the AFCON, and all Ghana needs to do is prepare adequately and regard every single match as the finals, not underating anyone and playing to their best. The second issue is harmony at the camp without repeating what happened in Brazil. Let's hope for the best.
