Hundreds of Ghanaian sympathisers of the Super Eagles of Nigeria have suddenly came back to their senses with the realisation that their fellow Anglophone brothers may not be easy meat when the two nations renew their rivalry in the first of the quarter final matches on Sunday.

Before the conclusion of Group B matches last night, the home crowd appeared to have dumped the eternal rivalry between the two teams and rooted for the Eagles, but the late minute reprieve now means the team may spoil the fun for the home side on Sunday when the two teams meet at the Ohen Djan Stadium in Accra.

"Nigeria has a way of turning misfortune to success and we only hope our team does not make many mistakes against your team when we play them because when a side is depressed and still manages to come out of a difficult situation, 'God of Soccer' has a way of helping such a team," the Chairman of Sekondi Local Organising Committee (LOC) in Sekondi, Nana Kosina Nketsia, who is the Paramount ruler of Essikado region of the town said in an interview that reflected the mood of the city.
