The last match against Mozambique is where the Shoot Brand must be exhibited.
Amazing Alex Djiku, Strong Salisu Mohammed, Daring Dennis Odoi, Mensah and others must defend well and remain solid than ever whilst Salis in midfield must give the telling passes for the goals.
Inspirational Mohammed Kudus, Skipper Andre Ayew, Hard working Antoine Semenyo, Jordan Ayew, Magical Majeed Ashimeru, Resourceful Richmond Lamptey and Inaki Williams must just bang in the goals.
The fans are there to cheer the team and they have done very well, now is the turn of the Black Stars to win after losing to Caps Verde and drawing with Egypt.
On Monday the fans want to celebrate and give meaning to the reason for traveling to Cote d’Ivoire.
Good luck to the Black Stars, Good Luck to the Ghana Supporters.
