Ghana unless something miraculous happens will be among the five countries to represent Africa in Brasil come 2014. They hammered Egypt 6-1 at home in their first leg playoffs,a result which may be hard to reverse. In 2006,though it was their maiden appearance at the world cup finals, the Black Stars showed the world what they're made of in football when they reached the bracket of 16 only to be ejected by Brazil. The Black Stars were the sole flag bearers for Africa in the 2010 w.c quarter finals after the meek surrender of Algeria, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Nigeria and perhaps most galling of all,the host nation South Africa.Expectations were high allover the continent but unfortunately the journey was cut short by Luis Suarez's Uruguay in a dramatic shoot out. They had hoped to better what Cameroon and Senegal had done in 1990 and 2002 respectively but never did they achieve the precious goal. So with all signs pointing to their qualification,should Africa hope for the better in Brazil 2014?
