Great for African football that for the second World Cup running, Ghana are through to the last sixteen. But don’t expect them to become goal machines if they progress further. In their group, they scored just two goals in three matches. And indeed, Ghana’s current One Touch Premier League champions Aduana United set a world record last season by becoming the `least productive’ champions of any professional league ever. In a tightly fought league, Aduana ended up as champions with 15 wins, eight draws and seven losses – but along the way, only scored 19 goals. They chalked up 12 1-0 wins, six 0-0 draws and only managed to score more than once in three games.
So for Ghana, it’s now on to play the USA. They might not score many goals. But my money is on Ghana to reach the last eight.
