Ghana, buoyed by their explosive performance against Morocco, can't wait to tackle Nigeria in Sunday's African Nations Cup quarter-final.
With wins in their three first round matches Ghana and their fervent fans are eyeing a record-equalling fifth title come February 10.
But before making it to the final they must overcome Nigeria, who grabbed their last eight ticket by beating Benin on Wednesday, and if successful a semi-final possibly against either Camerooon or defending champions Egypt.

Assessing the quarter-final puzzle lying in store for the Black Stars Ghana coach Claude Le Roy said: "Nigeria are a very strong team but they have been having some difficulties, the atmosphere with them doesn't seem to be so good.
"We are fired up and ready to meet any side."

After another fine showing from midfield star Michael Essien and Sulley Muntari, responsible for the goals that sent Morocco out, Le Roy says there is a ring of confidence in the hosts' camp.

"It seems that day by day we're becoming very difficult to beat. I've got the same feeling as I had in Morocco in 1988."
The French-born coach was making reference there to the year he led Cameroon to the title.
"With Cameroon we had to beat Morocco on the way to the final too, so perhaps that's a good omen."

Le Roy, who is not known for making rash predictions but says the current Ghana squad is on a par with that title winning Cameroon side, got his tactics just right against Morocco, allowing more space for Essien in midfield which worked a treat.
"For our next game I'll have to work out a different strategy. The first quality of intelligence is to be able to adapt."
A key element to Ghana's win over Morocco was the backing of the fans at the Ohene Djan stadium, the same fans that had given the team, and especially striker Asamoah Gyann, such a hard time in their unconvincing 1-0 win over Namibia.
"We need supporters to get behind the team," said Celta Vigo striker Quincey Owusu Abeyie.

Nottingham Forest forward Junior Agogo, who was a constant threat to the Moroccan defence, said: "There was a bit of pressure before this game, but now we're buzzing to be through.
"We hadn't played our best in our last two games, but we thought things would eventually come right for us."
Hearts midfielder Laryeah Kingston will be available for Sunday's game in Accra after sitting out a one match suspension against Namibia.
