Tension Grips Kumasi...As Satellites Face Brazil

Black Satellites

Tension is high in the Garden City of Kumasi ahead of the clash with Brazil in Cairo, Egypt.

African Champions, Ghana, easily qualified from their group, which was made up of England, Uruguay and Uzbekistan before clashing with South Africa, North Korea and Hungary.

Parading a squad made up of the striking duo of Ransford Osei and leading scorer Dominic Adiyiah, the Satellites are the overwhelming favourites for the ultimate trophy.

However, the Brazilians can turn the scales in their favour even in the face of defeat.

 The South Americans have so far proven to be a hard nut to crack as they have made nonsense of their opponents enroute to the finals of the competition.

Ghana attempted to win the magnificent trophy but failed to do so in 1993 and 2001 when they were defeated by Brazil and Argentina respectively.

Tomorrow's battle will offer Ghana an opportunity to avenge the painful 2-1 loss that the Satellites suffered at the hands of the Brazilians in the 1993 finals.

Some soccer fans in Kumasi told GUIDE SPORTS that they believed the Satellites would win the match, stressing that the players should maintain their focus for the entire duration to avert any shock from the Brazilians. From I.F. Joe Awuah Jnr., Kumasi
