I?ll punish Ghana - Akide

THE Niegrain Super Falcon?s goal machine and San Diego Spirit of California arrow head, Mercy Akide would be in a killer mood today against arch rivals Ghana.

Fondly called ?Marvellous? she was very marvellous in their evening training yesterday at the Shell Camp Ogunu play ground Warri and exuded confidence in the tie against the Black Queens of Ghana.

She promised to make her home crowd and Nigerians indeed happy with her scoring prowess in today?s game.

In her words shortly after the training that lasted an hour, ?I am quite set for tomorrow?s (today) match, we have trained hard and I can tell you too that the spirit is high.

Nigerians should not bother themselves, about the game tomorrow for tomorrow (today) will take care of itself and will be better. Our scores with the Ghanaian will be settled on the pitch of play within the regulation time, we are not afraid of them.
