Ghana's
reputation as one of Africa's footballing powers is in
sharp decline.
Many Ghanaians
themselves doubt the team's ability to get through the
first round.
With Morocco and
South Africa to beat, their fears are well founded.
The Black Stars have
yet to resolve some serious problems.
The mistrust between
foreign stars and coaching staff means recent
internationals featured home-based players, with Ghana
missing out on a wealth of overseas talent.
Even with a first
choice team, Ghana are still lacking an inspirational
play-maker in the mould of Abedi Pele or Tony Yeboah.
Coach Osam-Duodu took
the team to victory in '78, but his latest spell in
charge has failed to produce any magic.
He is unlikely to
work any miracles in Mali.
