    Something to ponder:

    "Ghana players will earn US$30,000 each if they beat Burkina Faso on Tuesday to advance to the quarter finals of the Africa Cup of Nations.
    The Black Stars will be eliminated from the continental tournament if they fail to win the game in Luanda.

    The government of the West African country has decided to reward each player of the squad the biggest bonus ever paid to a Ghana team for winning a game. This is the ensure that the players play out of their skins to secure the win over their northern neighbours.

    The Black Stars are normally paid a winning bonus of US$10,000 each for such important games but the rulers of the country have decided to do even better. Ghana failed to win their opening match against Ivory Coast which means the players lost the US$10,000 at stake."



    For people that make little or nothing this could be enough motivation for them to overcome the loss of their stud midfielder.

    2-1 Ghana in regulation

      Good Luck....that does seems like some motivation. 30K is nothing to sneeze at.

          Ghana will play with depleted squad and very young untested players. Burkina Faso only needs a draw to qualify. They will play with 10 men in front of the goal to get the draw.

            90 mins under pressure can be a long time.

              Hmmm, I'm not liking the fact that $10,000 didn't help them win the 1st game, maybe they just aren't good?

                1-0 ghana

                looks like they really want that 10k, or the fact that they let 10k slip by last game seems to be quite a motivating factor
