Saddick Adams, a sports journalist often known as “Sports Obama,” believes the Black Stars of Ghana have little chance of winning the World Cup in Qatar.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup kicks off on Monday, November 21, and the Black Stars will face Portugal on Thursday, November 24, before taking on Uruguay and South Korea.
According to “Sports Obama,” any result for the national team, whether a draw or a victory, should be considered a “bonus” since the Black Stars have no chance of winning.
“This is why we are the only ones organizing national prayers. We are the only ones among all the nations going to the World Cup officially organizing national prayers. We know our problems. Apart from prayers, there is nothing that can make Ghana say we are favorites in any of the games.
“I want people to understand that we are just going to the World Cup, any draw or win is a bonus . . . if we raise our hopes too much, we will be disappointed,” he said while making his submissions on Peace FM’s ‘Kokrokoo’ panel discussion programme.
“Ghana doesn’t have any chance going into this World Cup,” he stressed.’
The Head of the Sports at Angel FM also noted that “among all the teams going (to the World Cup), we are the worst. According to FIFA rankings on those who have played the qualifiers and their form, we are last among them”.
