This thread has been opened for fans of both countries to make all the noises and brag all you can before the real business begin.

As for me, I've always supported Ghana at the African Nations cup and I don't see any reason to change.
Paj, Kolinzo, Pete and all other Nigerians, I wish you guys a very bad game and a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Ghana.

If Nigeria loose to Ghana's already depleted squad, it will be very disgraceful. Ghana might not have as good a strike-force as Nigeria, but they're very good in midfield and defence. Nigeria will have to be weary of Ghana.

...btw..watch out for John Mikel Obi...

PS: Ivory Coast's strike-force is second to Nigeria. They have Drogba, Aruna Dindane, Aruna Kone, Bakari. Those guys are very good and I usually watch them scoring goals.
