3. Ghana
It remains a credit to the sheer quality of this Ghanaian squad that they figure as highly as 3rd in our power rankings after the inner turmoil in the Black Stars camp. Players, coaches, and officials are currently embroiled in legal proceedings relating to embezzled World Cup funds. And the court case is mild in relation to Ghana’s coaching situation. Maxwell Konadu, an interim coach, currently heads them while Avram Grant, Michel Pont, and Marco Tardelli conclude the interviewing process. Such turbulence could have been fatal, but with two gutsy wins away in Togo and home versus Guinea, Ghana have all but confirmed their qualification.
