Ghana vice president John Mahama has urged the Black Stars to take every game at the Nations Cup as a 'World Cup final'.

Mahama flew over to Franceville on Sunday to meet the team and urge them to end Ghana's 30 year wait for the title.

He told the team the entire country is backing them, but has warned the wins will not come easy.

“I will like you take every match like a World Cup final and play your best,” Mahama told the players.

“Every country came to this tournament on merit so you should avoid complacency and listen to your technical team.

“You have our support and we will do our best for you to bring us the trophy.”

Ghana open their campaign against Botswana on Tuesday.

That is the spirit; not celebrating draws like there is no tomorrow and hoping that you go through on silly calculations. Go to fight to win and even if you fail but fans see the effort, the fans would still give you the respect. That is a wise president who respects opponents and knows that this is about meritocracy not boardroom qualification or past reputations. This is a valid message for everyone, now and in the future. My team is not there but good luck.
