I was wondering how we fare compared with the Ghana 2010 squad that almost took the world by storm.

Do we have a better/more balanced team?

Do we have a more difficult path to the Semi final than they had?

Can we learn/emulate a thing or two from their feat?


Here are their Stats;

This. The guy was a one man wrecking crew. I think their forte was their solid midfield of appiah, muntari, kwadman and boateng.

Who knows how far they would have gone if Essien could make the WC.

don't forget the janitor and pickpocket Anthony Annan. the team was well balanced in every area except the in attack. in attack Gyan was the only one we had. imagine if we had one or two more average strikers

SE are better at this point than Ghana was 7months to the wc.

key to the good outing was not losing their first game
