Okudjeto Ablakwa hails Black Stars

Many continue to hail the breathtaking performances of Ghana at the ongoing World Cup in Brazil but cannot believe that there still has not been a win for the team at the tournament.

"They have played so well so far (except for some few errors) and it is unbelievable that they have not recorded a win yet in their two matches played", lamented Samuel Okudjeto Ablakwa in Natal yesterday.

The Deputy Minister of Education, who departed Natal yesterday on his way back home after watching the Stars two winless matches against the USA and Germany stressed that "it will be unjust for us to get out from the group stage after playing so well".

In his view, perhaps, only Providence could intervene in the matter, given the performance of the boys in both games that the Stars lost 2-1 to the USA and drew 2-2 with Germany.

In a pre-departure chat with Graphic Online, he re-emphasised his belief that "there has to be victory, and we've got to pray for this since it is not entirely in our hands".

Mr Ablakwa said he would have wished to witness that important victory at the National Stadium in Brasilia on Thursday when the Stars meet Portugal in their defining last group match but for other duties back home which demanded his return.
