Posted by Unknown Rabu, 29 Januari 2014 0 komentar

The Super Eagles goalkeeper has expressed his confidence in today's match against Ghana. He believes it will be a great lifetime achievement to win in the tournament. In his words, “To win the Chan trophy would be great because not many of the boys were at the Afcon so they would want to win something for themselves. “I think if we do win this it’ll be a great achievement because every footballer needs something to show after they retire from the game,
” Agbim says.

He also expresses his strong belief in God; “We are not doing this in our own power; we are still believing in God. We pray to God every day and I believe by the grace of God come Saturday we will do the job.”

Asked about coming up against rivals and fellow West African powerhouse Ghana in today's semifinal, Agbim said: “We came to compete so we are not afraid of any country and we are ready to face Ghana.

“It’s possible that we can go on and win this tournament. Yes, we could go all the way.”

The atmosphere has been good and I can't thank God less for what I've achieved with this team."I'm also speechless and at the same time happy with the celebration. It's always good to feel loved and appreciated by people but I've told the team it's not party time as we can't afford to take our eyes off the ball. We are very focused on the next game (against Morocco)," Keshi said.Since becoming Nigeria's head coach, Keshi has guided the Super Eagles to win the Africa Cup of Nations and qualify for the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil.

Posted by Unknown Rabu, 22 Januari 2014 0 komentar

Ghana marched into the knockout stages of the 2014 Orange African Nations Championship as Group C winners following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Ethiopia at the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein on Tuesday evening.
Kwabina Adusei’s goal from the spot was enough as the Black Stars continued their quest for silverware.
Ethiopia boss Sewnet Bishaw only made one change to the side that lost 1-0 to Congo on Friday. Mentsenot Umema was included in the starting XI in place of the suspended Asrat Gobena.

Meanwhile, Ghana coach Maxwell Konadu made no fewer than four changes to his side with talisman Yahaya Mohammed suspended and attacking partner Sulley Mohammed injured for the all-important encounter.
As a result Seidu Bansey started as the lone striker up front.
As expected when a side has nothing to play for, Ethiopia who were already knocked out of the tournament going into the tie, weren’t planning on sitting back as they pushed forward in search of their first goal of this year’s tournament.
The Black Stars, though, were as a result also handed the odd chance and it was they who went closest in the opening exchanges.
