Abedi Pele, Ghana(former player):
"The moment has arrived for an African nation to shock the world. The standard of football on the continent is improving all the time. There's no way anyone can say we got an easy group, because the competition is going to be fierce. Obviously, all us African countries wish to make history and appear at the first World Cup to be held here, so I'm expecting Ghana to have some very tough matches ahead."
