Ghana’s technical team is keeping tabs on all the teams at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations which begins on 21 January. The Black Stars will take on teams from Group C in the likely event of a second round qualification in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. But assistant coach Akwasi Appiah says the backroom staff is looking even further at all the teams in the competition. “We have acquired the tapes of all qualified teams at the Nations Cup therefore we are monitoring the whole situation,” he told Asempa FM. “It is always prudent to put in such measures to ensure that you deal with any eventuality so I believe we are well covered in that regard.” Ghana opens its Nations Cup account with a tricky tie against debutants Botswana on 24 January before playing Guinea and Mali in Franceville.
