Evangelist prophesises on Black Stars

Hohoe, (V/R), Sept 20, GNA - Evangelist Emmanuel Sraku, Pastor of the Likpe branch of the Akorfafa Nami Healing Centre on Monday prophesized on the chances of the senior national team, the Black Stars He said the only way the senior national team can annex the prestigious diadem in the upcoming African Cup of Nations (CAN 2008) to be staged by Ghana in 2008, was for stronger support, physically, spiritually and materially.

Evangelist Sraku, who spoke in an interview with the GNA Sports at Hohoe called for "all hands on deck" since the fortunes of the Stars would only glitter from collective efforts by all. He said without the collective efforts the fortunes of the national team will hang in the balance when the country play host to the continental event.

It would be recalled that Evangelist Sraku predicted two wins and two losses for the Black Stars in their epoch appearance at the World Cup tournament in Germany, where they dazzled the world with their landmark performance.

The 'Man of God' said it would be suicidal to host the tournament only for others to snatch the prestigious diadem, while the Ghanaian populace looked on aloft.

He also cautioned against complacency by stakeholders to seek glory through other means or risk visiting spiritual havoc and a bad omen to the nation.

The Evangelist said it would have been easier to annex the CAN 2008 Cup with the former Serbian Coach, Ratomir Djukovic but stated that "All things are possible with God".

Evangelist Sraku called for total support from the media, football administrators, connoisseurs of the game and the entire populace for the new French coach, Claude Le Roy, stating that he was an equally good material both physically and spiritually.

He said that the sky would be the limit when Ghanaians collectively decide to unite their forces to support the Stars, whilst gazing into the clouds to say, "It shall be well".
