Wide smiles return to Accra
ACCRA (AFM) - Ghana is known as one of Africa’s friendliest nations, but tensions have been running high after a pair of victorious but sluggish performances to start their 2008 African Cup of Nation campaign. The abuse at Ohene Djan Stadium during the 1-0 victory over Namibia got so bad that a pair of players - brothers Asamoah and Baffour Gyan - had their bags packed and threatened to leave the team this weekend, while the President of Ghana himself went on television to ask supporters and media for patience.
 
Give Vogts a chance says Fashanu
ACCRA (AFM) - After Nigeria's disappointing 2-1 loss to ten-man Ghana in the quarter-finals of the 2008 African Cup of Nations, the mood was tense as occasionally angry journalists repeatedly questioned Berti Vogts about his future. There was, though, at least one dissenting voice pointing toward something resembling calm instead of the quick sack for the German coach: former 'Crazy Gang' member, John Fashanu.
