Take Ghana to Glory
“black-stars avengers”
The press pack calls Ghana still litigating a certain handball from 2010, and files them as black-stars avengers. The bookmakers put them in the outsiders at 250/1 – 500/1.

- In goal, Richard Kingson, but taller. At the back, Sammy Kuffour, but serene. Running midfield, Essien, but he takes it easy. Up front, Abedi Pele, but with worse hair.
