Ghana qualified for the World Cup on Tuesday with a 7-3 aggregate win over Egypt in the playoffs to seize the fourth of five African places available at the finals. Egypt won the second leg 2-1 in the first international in Cairo in two years but Ghana progressed because of its 6-1 win at home in the first leg last month _ when Egypt’s dream of making a World Cup for the first time since 1990 effectively ended.
