Canada v Ghana

0 – 2
Jordan Ayew (2) Majeed (72)

Review: We could have done a bit better but again we looked strong and the squad’s depth pleased me. I was very impressed with the manner in which we pressed and hassled the opposition.

GHANA SET U.S.A DATE



The Ghanaian Football Association has announced the Ghanaian national team will face the United States in preparation for the African Cup of Nations in South Africa.

The game will take place at Ghana’s Baba Yara Stadium on the 12th January 2013, just a week before The Black Stars’ opening game of the tournament.

The last time both the sides met on African soil, Ghana ran out winners after goals from Kevin Prince Boateng and Asamoah Gyan sent Ghana through to the 2010 World Cup quarter-finals.

Before the friendly, Ghana will also take on continental foe Madagascar away at the Stade Municipal Mahamasima on the 9th January 2013.

AYEW INJURY ROCKS GHANA

Andre Ayew has been ruled out for 3 months after a torn hamstring sustained against Stoke City at the weekend.

The Arsenal winger will miss a number of games for the ‘Gunners’ as well as the entire African Cup of Nations for Ghana.

The Black Stars boss, Marcel Desailly has shown his disappointment with the injury but remains optimistic with the news.

“Ayew is very important to us and one of Africa’s most talented stars so he will be missed. However, there is a chance for someone else to make a name for themselves.

“We have the likes of Christian Atsu and Ismael Yartey so we are not short of candidates.”

Important Announcement

I've been here before guys and thought about packing up story writing, which I did, but I decided to come back and give a shot once more and try to enjoy it. I think we all know no matter how you write, good, bad, average, if you stop enjoying it the story is over. That's basically me at the moment.

Therefore, I'll be ending both my stories and throwing away my story writing notepad. Thank you all for the support I have received and it has been a real pleasure to see people enjoying it. I just have no motivation at present time.

Thank you once again and I leave with a little song for you guys
