In 2 days time, we will witness the two(2) Best National teams in the world meet for the ultimate prize in football, the FiFA world cup.
I call it the " International El Classico". It is a match made for the gods.
with the likes of Rodri( the best midfielder in the world today, the immediate past Ballon D'or winner) and the the Lamine Yamal, the heir apparent to Leo Messi.
It will be grit versus resilience.
It's been real fun.
Messi, the demi god, the maestro, the little magician and the greatest to ever play the game comes face to face with the Magestical Spanish team, La Furia Roja,
It is a final befitting of a fantastic tournament which had everything in football; Passion, elegance, pure artistry, tactical brilliance, enthusiasm, exhilarating goals and different cultures from 48 countries playing across 3 countries at magnificent stadiums. π

@Citi973@benkoku Was Ben Avle in Ghana when John Mahama was insulting left ,right , center using words like baloney? Where were u when JM referred to Prez. Nana Addo as "Jack Toronto".Stop the hypocrisy! Some of us know you as an NDC sympathizer, so be bold and come out!
This was the mood of Ghanaians when Nkrumah was overthrown. Most Ghanaians today would have hated Nkrumah but our social studies books and the hero worship Nkrumah created around himself has made discussing Nkrumah an emotional topic.
Under Nkrumah, you couldn't criticise him. The media was not allowed to publish anything negative. His political opponents were jailed. And private business was difficult.
Most of the factories and state institutions had failed due to corruption, nepotism and incompetence in the 1960s.
Talking about the ills of Nkrumah today seem likes talking about a religious figure.
I hope one day our social studies books will show us the good and bad of each government from 1957. Show us all the records of each government across all sectors, the projects they started, those they inherited, when each was completed, the length of years each had and the amount of wealth each had.
May be then, we would have an open mind about the Nkrumah conversation.
