Anyway, I think that both teams are similiar really, but I expect Ghana to edge it because host nations always play better than they actually are, and thus should be able to scrape it past Nigeria. Of course, I'll be rooting for Ghana aswell as I'm English, as thus have a bias against Bertie Vogts, both for Euro 96, and surprisingly for doing such a rubbish job at Scotland. I don't know why, as England and Scotland mutually have no sympathy for each other, but still.. I'm going to be rooting for the hosts.
