African Nations Cup 20/1/2008 - Ghana vs Guinea

This live commentary and play by play match of the African Nations Cup soccer game between Ghana and Guinea has been highly anticipated by the soccer and football world for a few weeks now as the tournament builds to its climax starting today 20 January. In the buildup to this match, a lot of clubs with African players in their team have been complaining about the timing of the African Nations Cup as it would mean not having their African players at a crucial time in the European soccer calendar. However, Africa is adamant that there should be no changes to the timing as it would be the best time of the year to hold a soccer tournament in Africa, when the rains are not present and weather is great for spectators and football and soccer fans to go to the stadium and support their teams and watch the games.

Now Ghana the home team will kick off this live commentary and radio broadcast of the opening match of the African Nations Cup against Guinea who have done well to reach this stage of the competition. However, they are facing a team with the likes of Chelsea's Michael Essien, so Ghana would be an extremely formidable soccer team who would be expected to go far in the competition and perhaps win it as well seeing how they are the home team. But Guinea will not go down without a fight, as most African teams are known to be powerful athletes and play with a never say die attitude. Ghana will have its hands full having to deal with Guinea but they play in front of their adoring home fans who will roar them on and hope to see an impressive and joyful victory over their opening opponents.

Ghana should not have too many problems dealing with Guinea and this live commentary and live telecast and radio broadcast of the opening match of the African Nations Cup should see some exciting play and perhaps more than a couple of goals. The heat should not be a factor either as after all both teams are African teams and they can more than deal with the heat. It is believed that Ghana should canter to at least a two goal victory but I expect Guinea to provide some sort of stiff resistance and maybe just maybe capable of causing an upset but the furthest it would probably go is a draw. Ghana is playing at home and their fans are vociferous, it should boost their morale and the tempo of this live commentary game should be high enough to overwhelm the visiting team of Guinea.
