Deprived of their star player, Ghana lost in the harshest way, 11-10 on penalties against the Ivory Coast. Ghana do enjoy a legacy of success at AFCON, but may also be haunted by the phantoms of their recent failures and near misses. The current squad will aim to make fond new memories with an AFCON crown in Cameroon in January. In Group C, Ghana have two tough assignments: Gabon and Morocco, the latter a genuine tournament heavyweight. There are some real quality goalkeepers at the tournament - Edouard Mendy, Yassine Bounou, Andre Onana - but none of them play for Ghana.
