Moreover, the players are now familiar with proceeding into the later stages of tournaments. You can criticize Rajevec, but he has allowed some of the talented upstarts space to grow. It is now a matter of how he stitches the team together in South Africa. Essien is more important to Ghana than Drogba is to Cote d'Ivoire or Eto'o to Cameroon. Despite the progress, much will rely on Essien. He is super effective and won't be dominated by other midfield players in Group D. If Rajevec is brave enough to drop Kingson and Gyan and replace them with Adjei and Adiyah, Ghana can win games they otherwise would lose. Cote d'Ivoire, Cameroon and Nigeria may yet find their flash, but they didn't use the opportunity that was the AFCON to expose some of their brighter prospects.

Essien is more important to Ghana than Drogba is to Cote d’Ivoire or Eto’o to Cameroon. Despite the progress, much will rely on Essien. He is super effective and won’t be dominated by other midfield players in Group D. If Rajevec is brave enough to drop Kingson and Gyan and replace them with Adjei and Adiyah, Ghana can win games they otherwise would lose.

Cote d’Ivoire, Cameroon and Nigeria may yet find their flash, but they didn’t use the opportunity that was the AFCON to expose some of their brighter prospects.

The Serbian boss believes in the dictatorship of results, but this won't help in the World Cup in South Africa. the group is tough and Gyan and Asamoah (my favorite Ghana player) won't have as much space to make things happen on the offensive end. Black Stars will benefit from having Essien and the others back, but I don't see this making much of a difference in the end. Congratulations to Egypt for playing nice football, as evidenced in the cup-winning goal by Geddo! Pharaohs will be missed here in South Africa. Black Stars’ coach was way too defensive in AFCON run.

It will be interesting to see how far they progress in the World Cup- a group with Germany, Australia and Serbia won't be easy to progress from.
