Published on: 10 November 2016

Former Ghana captain Stephen Appiah is optimistic of Ghana's chances of clinching all three points in Egypt on Sunday.

The Black Stars face the Pharoahs in a crucial 2018 World Cup qualifier on Sunday at the Borg El Arab Stadium in Alexandria.

The team must get a win to put their hopes of a fourth World Cup appearance back on track. Stephen Appiah who was captain when Ghana first qualified for the World Cup in Germany 2006 believes a win is not beyond the team's reach.

“We all know that it is a big game looking at the result we got against Uganda makes the game more than difficult for us. Playing with Egypt is always a pleasure. In my playing days, I loved the challenge of playing against big teams, and I think Egypt will be one these players will like.

“It is a very tough game, but I believe the boys will be prepared to take this on. It is football. We can go there and win. We all have to pray for the Black Stars; we have to believe in them and as I said the Stars know how to play big games. I will be their number one fan on Sunday, and I hope they get the three points from Egypt” He said.
