Several Kenyans are certain that Ghana's senior national team, the Black Stars, would perform wonderfully at this year's FIFA World Cup in Qatar, becoming the first African nation to advance to the semifinals and perhaps take home the coveted title.
They added that the Ghana Black Stars, who came very close to qualifying for the semifinals at the FIFA World Cup in South Africa in 2010, were the best-positioned team to accomplish this historic feat during this year's competition. They claimed that it was time for Africa to win the FIFA World Cup.
Ghana is in Group H with Portugal, South Korea, and Uruguay. The World Cup will kick off on November 20th and end on December 18th.
When the Ghana News Agency asked Kenyans how they regarded Ghana and its effect on the African continent, they voiced their hope in Hurlingham, on the Argwings Kodhek Road in Nairobi.
“Ghana is noted for shining so much in football; in the FIFA World Cup and African Cup tournaments. Apart from the last World Cup that Ghana didn’t shine very well, the previous World Cups; Ghana was performing well and that was the team that I used to wake up very early to watch,” said Mr. Erastus Kylu, an accountant and resident of Nairobi.
“There are some young players coming up. They need to really look at how to motivate them so that they can have one team, which is well coordinating and which can make Africa very proud because all of us in Africa look up to the Black Stars,” he added.
“I know the Black Stars. They have been representing us in the World Cup for some time now. In 2010, they were the closest to getting Africa to the semi-finals for the first time were it not for Suarez hand ball and penalty miss,” said Mr. Boniface Ochieng, an electrical engineer, and resident of Nairobi.
“I think this time, they have a good team. We stand a chance again. We try again to reach at least the semi-finals. I think they are ready for that elusive semis and maybe even the finals.”
“To train hard and well, and prepare. It is going to be a very tough group but we believe in them as Africa. We believe they are the best team to take us to the semi-finals and maybe the finals, and definitely going to win this year’s World Cup.” he added.
Others mentioned Ghana being known for cocoa production, claiming that it appeared in lessons when higher cocoa producers in Africa were mentioned.
The Black Stars of Ghana will play their first game at the World Cup against Portugal on 24th November.
