Even if all African countries are now being taught by native coaches, until Ghana entered the scene, the continent's fortunes had been bleak.
Ghana scored the first goal scored by an African team at this year's world cup, despite the loss to the Portuguese team.
Cristiano Ronaldo was named the game's MVP after making an outstanding effort and converting a penalty kick for Portugal.
