Ghana vs Egypt 2013 features two heading to Baba Yara Stadium today. Egypt, however, is undefeated in their last five soccer matches. Egypt is coming off of five consecutive soccer wins. Ghana, in turn, has two wins, one draw and two losses in their last five matches. But Ghana has not lost a qualifier in months.

Exodus 6:1       “then Lord said to Moses, now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh (Egypt); because of my might hand he will let them (Ghana) go” to the promise land (Brazil)
After reading all those comments, I asked myself how are we sure that Ghana defeating Egypt is some way or other  the biblical statement are quoting is true while we have not play the return match?  Have we ever thought of the other of it?  In facts are sure that Brazil is the final promise land we are so confident of?  Well let see what happens next………………………………………………as the story of going to the promise land continue to be in dilemma.

Borussia Dortmund will be without coach Jurgen Klopp for their UEFA Champions League clash with Arsenal later this month.
Klopp will be missing from the touchline when last year's finalists take on the Gunners at the Emirates on October 22 after being handed an extended suspension by UEFA.
The German coach was sent to the stands for verbally abusing the fourth official in the 2-1 defeat by Napoli last month.
Klopp blew his top when Napoli scored after the fourth official refused to allow defender Neven Subotic back onto the pitch quickly following treatment for an injury.
The 46-year-old served a one-match ban during the 3-0 victory over Marseille on Tuesday but UEFA's disciplinary committee have now doubled the suspension as part of a drive to encourage greater respect for match officials.
"This decision can be appealed. Borussia Dortmund are currently considering whether to go down that route," said the club, who have three days to lodge any protest.
Klopp, whose team have three points in Group F, the same as Napoli, with Arsenal top on six, has repeatedly apologised for his behaviour.
"I made myself look like a monkey out there and that's not on," Klopp told German TV. "I overstepped the mark and it was really pathetic of me."
