This is even more serious than Germany losing Ballack. While the Germans have the depth to cover the loss of their star player, the Ghanaians dont.


What do you think about the FourFourTwo article Essien In Doubt To Face Roos At World Cup?
CHELSEA midfielder Michael Essien will know within days if he has a chance of playing for Ghana in the World Cup against Australia.

Have your say.

I don't see why Ghana are bookies favourites ahead of us. They played badly at the AC mostly and we beat them in a friendly. Sure they could maybe beat us on the day but why are they at 80-1 to win and we are at 200-1?


The bookies are probably factoring in the likely event of African teams getting dodgy refereeing decisions in their favour. Sort of like South Korea in 2002.
