Yusupha,
       Thanks for the information.Two week ago I was paralysed by fear
thinking our young Scorpions might have a difficult moment in Ghana.Thanks
be to ALLAH that our boys were able to knock out Ghana despite the huge home
support against them.This has proven that there is no constitution which
states the Scorpions can't win the cup.Size is VERY,VERY IRRELEVANT in
competition.
        Well done boys and please keep it up.

ARONA
