Asamoah Gyan eyes Nigeria scalp in next month's friendly

Posted On Thursday, 14th July 2011

Asamoah Gyan

Black Stars striker Asamoah Gyan has aimed to continue Ghana’s dominance over Nigeria in the 9 August international friendly.

The Super Eagles will attempt a win over the Black Stars in five years at Vicarage Stadium when the two giants renew their rivalry in a Fifa international friendly game.

The Sunderland ace, who scored the solitary goal that separated the two sides in the quarter-finals of the 2010 Nations Cup in Angola, has promised another stellar performance.

“There is a big rivalry between Ghana and Nigeria. They will try to win this time but we are also upbeat about our chances. Let’s see what God will do. We will win,” He told Accra-based Peace FM.

Nigeria have not beaten Ghana since Taiye Taiwo scored from a screamer in the Group D opener of the 2006 Nations Cup in Egypt.

Gyan, 25, is the top scorer in the Black Stars with 26 goals from 48 caps.

    Lets keep dominating Niaja senior team for the 4th time.

  2. Capstone says:

    The England friendly will mark the beginning of Ghana’s fall against Nigeria. Everyday is not Christmas. As I said yesterday in the caption already deleted from this web, history will fade away at the end of 90 minutes on August 9, that word “dominance” will be reversed in Nigeria’s favour.

    Dominance in African soccer is season by season. For instance, Ghana used to rule Africa in 70s and early 80s; but Cameroon took over in the 80s and reigned till 1990 precisely. Nigeria took over in 1994 and reigned till year 2000, then Egypt took over till 2010. Ghana was in the coma for about 8 years and only resurrected in 2006. Mark my words, the pendulum of African soccer dominance is already swinging back to Nigeria’s direction and the August 9 friendly against Ghana will mark the beginning.

    Till then, I reserve my further comments.

    Kofi Africa or what did you call yourself, did you say 7-0? Are you still dreaming? Do you think we are still in the 60s (dark age)? No, No. Football is now scientific. Or do you think it is basketball? I am not predicting 7-0, but that Nigeria 3 – Ghana 0. Watch out!

    • Kofi Africa says:

      Look my African brother from another mother Ghana has gotten stronger and stronger and its like where the dream team of Africa alongside of Ivory Coast , Egypt, Cameroon, and Sudan ( Small teams like that are getting bigger) but there is no way u guys are gonna beat us b cause were too good for ya and our players are young. The only way Naija can beat us unless the park is dirty and keep ur park clean we want Africa clean. Last of all yeah were not back in the 60′s so lets say London 4-1 , Ghana 2-1, Angola 1-0, and maybe my prediction 4-0 or 2-1. Where gonna keep dominating ya till the bones rot and good luck in the olympics and plz make Africa proud and don’t think about Niaja only.

  11. capstone says:

  12. Kay says:
