After winning four CAF African Cup of Nations titles and being the first African team to lift the FIFA U-20 World Cup, the Black Stars will no doubt be anxious to solidify themselves as the best squad of the continent by bringing home a World Cup title.

New Boss, Serbian Milovan Rajevac took over at the helm after Claude Le Roy’s departure in 2008.

The 56-year old is a former defender that played a majority of his career in Yugoslavia and was best known for a brief coaching stint with Red Star Belgrade as well as perennial Serbian squad FK Borac, who he led to their first-ever European tournament qualification.Bet on Soccer at Sportsbook.com

The Black Star boasts very little in the way of household names, but do have a field of solid international stars. The will lean on Chelsea superstar Michael Essien to generate their offensive attack. He will be paired with Inter Milan midfielder Sulley Muntari and captain Stephen Appiah of Bologna, to form a formidable engine room capable of creating opportunities for the side’s offensive firepower.

The trio of Asamoah Gyan, Junior Agogo and Matthew Amoah will lead the up front punch, while the England-based duo of John Mensah and John Paintsil anchor the backline in front of Wigan Athletic’s Richard Kingson between the pipes.

The Black Stars cruised through the first half of the qualifying, but struggled to reach the World Cup this most recent qualifier in the later stages.

After being unbeaten in their first four matches and sweeping Mali and Sudan, the side broke even with clubs Gabon and Libya and only earned the right to the World Cup via goal differential over the two teams.

The only other African nation that consistently has better odds is Didier Drogba’s the Ivory Coast, but Ghana is considered one of the few host continent squads that has a respectable chance of advancing to the second round of the tournament.

I think the Black Stars has a good a shot as anyone at advancing to the second round out of the group, but I think they will fall just short of the mark.
