Ghana's Black Stars continue their Nations/ World Cup campaign today, up north in Tripoli when they battle their Libyan counterparts in their return leg clash. The home side are ready to seek revenge, having suffered a 0-3 defeat at the hands of the West Africans, in their opening Group D game in Kumas,i last June.
The Libyan U-17 side last Sunday bowed to their Ghanaian counterparts in Accra, and this has heightened the need for vengeance in the North African's camp, and their desire to unseat the Stars from the top spot is also a motivating factor for the Libyans.
However, the array of players in the Stars camp should be enough to scare away any opponent. Michael Essien, Sulley Muntari, Quincy Owusu Abeyie, Junior Agogo, Laryea Kingston, John Paintsil, Anthony Annan, Harrison Afful, all displayed their quest for success on foreign land by their early arrival for the showdown.
Returnee skipper, Stephen Appiah's come back has raised moral to pole position and if that is anything to go by, then the Stars are tipped to return with a good report.
