Despite two games remaining in the Olympic qualifying series, observers believe that Ghana are almost through to picking up the sole ticket to Beijing Games with the Black Meteors playing their last two matches at home.
But team coach, Cecil Jones Attuquayefio says its one game at a time as Ghana comes up against South Africa today at the El-Wak stadium in Accra.
The penultimate clash is not expected to be one-sided affair in Ghana's favour after convincingly beating the Amaglug-glug 3-1 in first leg game away in August.
That result might have improved Ghana's chances considerably but Jones Attuquayefio, who is optimist is approaching Sunday's game with some caution.
Though South Africa's preparations has been rocked by player withdrawals five players pulling out -, Jones still sees his opponents as a formidable opposition and is still keeping his team's focus on the daunting task ahead with the availability of players like Asamoah Gyan, Prince Tagoe, Michael Helegbe and Nafiu Iddrissu.
I don't want us to be our own enemies by falling into the trap of complacency. We cannot start jubilating about our qualification when we have two crucial battles to confront.
I do agree we have an excellent opportunity to qualify for the Beijing Olympics. But we need to continue to keep our focus. We can't lift our foot off the pedalAdd this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites         |
