Sulley Muntari insists the Black Stars have the wherewithal to end the trophy drought at next year�s Nations Cup finals. Ghana open their campaign against minnows Botswana before playing neighbours Mali and Guinea in Group D for the biannual showpiece. The Group could be tricky for the 2010 Fifa World Cup quarter-finalists considering the pedigrees of their opponents. The Inter Milan star man, who will is expected to feature prominently in Goran Stevanovic�s squad at the tournament, remains adamant about the country�s chances. �With our pedigree on the continent, surely a lot will be expected of us in the tournament. I have said before that we�re determined to go a step further in 2012,� Muntari said �We respect our opponents in the group but the truth of the matter is that we�re also going to guard against complacency and tackle each game with total seriousness. �We have a fantastic manager and a great team which is very compact and so we�ll do our best. I believe we�re capable of writing our names in the history books.� Ghana were losing finalists at the 2010 Africa Cup Nations in Angola.
