The previous matches played are over. What I want to tell the<\/p>\n<p>Black Stars is that they should do their best to win for us. They should<\/p>\n<p>forget about all the permutations and win all the matches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey should concentrate on our remaining four matches and I believe that with God on our side, Egypt can slip against Uganda.<\/p>\n<p>In football, anything can happen and that\u2019s all that we hoping for.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s qualification is similar to what happened in 2006 and I don\u2019t think it is beyond us. Ghanaians are counting on them and whatever they need to do, they should do and qualify us to the tourney.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ghana will be chasing her fourth appearance to the competition under Coach James Kwesi Appiah who qualified the country to the last edition in Brazil.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 55 updated by: 55 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Thursday, 31 August 2017 Source: GNA 2017-08-31 Ghana&#8217;s qualification depends on the Egypt-Uganda game &#13;
