God will curse all those tribes who are instigating hatred against AKANS. They will forever be poor and undeveloped. In every country God gives the country to one tribe. Whether they like it or not in the case of Ghana it is Akans. Akans have proven in a 1000 ways they are greater.

Ladies and Gentlemen, and people of sporting public, let us pause and pray for the rest of team and the coaches to bring honours to our nation.Don't let us dwell on this paticular individual who I think made up his mind even before he was called to camp. His indicipline towards his coach and his brother's axed from the National Team from making excuses from joining the National team. Note that better playes, even far better than him who are well deciplined and have out country at heart has come and gone. It is this same coach who put him on top class football and now disrespecting this same coach and his country because he think he is above the law. Is that what he is doing to his club? I don't think so. Now that he is not participating, his prayer is to let Ghana lose their matches and that aren't gonna happen in God's name. Ghana will come out victorious, to let him know that before him there were better and diciplined players than him and also there was Ghana peiod.

Have you bothered to find out why he didn't want to go. Is that important? Have you bothered to look at the guy's history with the national teams to find out if there was a pattern of behaviour. I say again, this is our under-20 captain who won the african and world cup at that level and has responded to all national calls with enthusiasm. Ask yourself why the sudden change in behaviour. Absolute rubbish!

Hi Papa Appiah, a gentleman as I see you, why don't you just pass your comments across and allow others also to express their opinions instead of trashing your "Elder", coach Afranie? Assuming I also trash you and another does it to me, I don't think it would be healthy. Anyway, take care buddy and God bless.

Agya Appiah have you bothered to find out the rules and regulations governing call-ups to the national team? Why shouldn't he also communicate first to the coach to come to an amicable decision if he respects him. That is what a matured player will do. You will inform or discuss with the coach but do not flout or tell when you are ready. This is a national assignment and by his posture the coach is old enough to know that DEDE did not want to be part of the squad.If you force him into the squad, he may likely show an attitude which will negatively affect team's spirit...We have witnessed similar scenario over the years which did not augur well for the Black Stars. We now need fit,disciplined and hard working men to fight in the national colours!!!

"Agya Appiah have you bothered to find out the rules and regulations governing call-ups to the national team?" ***Dokuta Kabs***

Exactly! That Papa Appiah, is looking for opportunities to make himself feels important but he is not. Since coach MRAA became our national team head coach, he has managed to come out with all sorts of negativity thoughts and always got 90% disapprovals from the audience.

He has let his emotions eat up his brain!

He was the captain of under 20 who won the African and world cup so what??? Rubbish!!! Is he better than those players who reported at camp? This is a problem with we Ghanaians, any time we get a local coach we don't allowed them to instill discipline in camp, we will be running our mouth blah, blah, blah, when they fail then we turn to foreign coaches. Soccer is a big time business now and like any serious business, policies, rules, and regulations must be followed.Do you think that is the way they behave in their foreign teams? No white coach will tolerate such behavior.

THE ANSWER LIES WITH HIM. WE HAVE AS YET TO FIND OUT. IF DEDE WANTED TO GO, HE SHOULD HAVE SHOWED UP LIKE AA WANTED HIM TO. INJURY OR NO INJURY, U MUST SHOW UP TO BE ASSESSED. DEDE DID NOT EVEN AFTER HIS CLUB MARSEILLE HAD OFFICIALLY RELEASED HIM.

The coach may be right in axing "my boy" Dede Ayew if the player is not interested to play or respect the rules.I like Dede very much but I'll not entertain any insolent player.If a player has been given extra 2 days then perhaps there was something wrong with his health or his club but for now it is for the player himself to explain why he could not report to camp in time.Thank you.

Andre Ayew is a great player however just as his father was influential i the Black Stars we experienced a great deal of controversy when his father Abedi was in th natinal team. One incient worthy of ote is when he got thrown out of the Nationas up de to a rudespa with a referee in 1992 an act which may cost us the cup in that year. There were many other incidents such as his stormy relationship with Tony Yeboah which were more prominent than our quest for glory thus Abedi through his escapades as captain ensured that Ghana failed to achieveany laurels unde his watch.Clearly his son has taken that path and is rliving the botched reputtion of his father. Sad is it not that the national interest pales to obsurity with some people caught inthe plague of self-centredness.

Those who think that certain influential people like Dede Ayew should be treated with kids gloves are themselves not brought up by disciplined parents. Who is not important in Ghana?

Following the developments on Dede's exclusion, I want to believe Dede is not sure of shining this time around at AFCON. The injury in question is not one that should have made him ask for those days and even failing to be present after extension giving; a special treatment given him. He just wanted to be with the club and successfuly wove himself in the calculated absentee scheme of the club. Now he is in Morroco to play for the club after their camping. I don't know what he is scared of but I think it has to do with the massive eye on Atsu, Kwadjo Asamoah, Gyan and the few whizkids that might overshadow him. Remember he does not want to be substituted.

Who is causing this problem for Kwasi Appiah? Let the coach does his job. Essien did similar thing when we needed him most, it turned to be that he was injured, and yet he continued to play for Chelsea. If Ayew feels he is betrayed by the coach while is he with the Marcellie camp training? There is something fishy somewhere! Who is in charge to investigate this issue? Does it need any investigation at all? Noooooo!

There is no one bigger than the nation, the Ayews must know that they are not the exception to the rule. Its a team game and everyone must abide under the same rules. I think it was good that he was ommitted. (Bayern fined 2 of their players for wearing different socks from the team, and thihs is very petty if you ask me). Appiah took the correct decision.
