was it in 1996? South Africa beat Ghana 3-0 I believe so Tony couldn't have scored.

I think Tony's goal against SA in 1996 was disallowed. A bicycle kick which would have equalize their goal..... and Paradox, it was Samuel E'too(Cameroon) goal which eliminated Ghana in 2008. SA eliminated Ghana in 2000 which they co-hosted by Nigeria.

The content of this report is not true. What about the fantastic goal by Anthony Yeboah against South Africa in the Cup of Nations that was held in South Africa? Where is your history?
