Afcon: Could Kwesi Appiah’s big decisions leave Ghana short at the Africa Cup of Nations?

Of all of Africa’s giants preparing for the Africa Cup of Nations, Ghana are one of the harder teams to assess.

Their track record at the continental showpiece is excellent in recent years, as while the Black Stars haven’t won the title since 1982, they’ve consistently reached the last four over the last six campaigns.

In fact, you have to stretch back to 2006 to find an Afcon in which the West African heavyweights failed to make the semi-finals.
