Tunisia-based Ghana defender Harrison Afful has warned the Black Stars about the attacking qualities of the Carthage Eagles ahead of Sunday's Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final clash. The Esperance ace, who is playing his third season in Tunisia, has described the north Africans as skilful and technically astute. He has also singled out his club-mate Youssef Msakni for praise and should be closely monitored. Seven of his Esperance team-mates, who won the 2011 CAF Champions League, are members of the Tunisia side at the tournament. Afful believes Sami Trabelsi's side pose a serious threat to Ghana's semifinal ambitions. "They have a good team and they always like to keep the ball. They also have some great individual players especially the number 7 (Youssef Msakni) he is one of the key players," Afful told Kickoff.com. "They are also dangerous when it comes to attacking." Afful was a member of Ghana squad which won silver at the 2010 Nations Cup in Angola.
