Well, every qualification is qualification but government will fulfill its end of the bargain to ensure we win this game and the ones beyond"."We are going to Brazil and not even Zambia can stop us."The Black Stars lead the standing in Group D and are one point better than Zambia ahead of their last fixture at the Baba Yara Stadium on September 6.
