CAF orders a replay of Ghana - Burkina Faso AFCON Semi Final Match

After watching yesterday’s UEFA Champions League Match between AC Milan and Barcelona, we reached a conclusion that if we (at AY’s BLOG)  were the President of the Confederation of African Football, CAF, we would have ordered a replay of the Ghana Burkina Faso AFCON 2013 Semi final Match and forced the Black Stars to include Mutari and Boateng in the squad.

And we have good reasons to do that.

Why should the Black Stars of Ghana struggle so much against the Burkinabes when they have quality players like Sulley Mutari, and Kevin-Prince Boateng scoring freely against a team as World Class as Barca? Why did they drop these players on their AFCON list? Why?

And they are very lucky.

Imagine it’s Nigeria. Imagine the Super Eagles lost to their Semi Final match to Burkina Faso and the third place match to Mali. And imagine few weeks after the players Keshi deliberately dropped scored two ‘sexy’ goals against Barca.

Let’s not even imagine it. Because what will happen will be worse than what happened in 1963.
