Ghana must take this match very serious because the Malians have been a torn in our flesh of late. Seydou Keita and Cheick Diabete are still around.

I'm disappointed in GFA, why cant they organize high profile matches but have to be relying on weak teams? So is it a crime to play England or Argentina, or Chile or Uruguay or even Germany?

They need to play in Ghana if we are playing African teams.
