Turkey is "on Earth"; why couldn't you defeat them recently? Anyone who thinks this will be a thrashing is dreaming. Ghana has NEVER thrashed Zambia even with Pele in your lineup. This will be a tight match. Ghana made a mistake by not recalling Muntari; he would have been able to neutralize the Zambian midfield. Now you have to rely on an unfit & slow Essien (no playing time at Chelsea). Even though I want Zambia to win, this feels more like a draw.

Good to hear all have arrived. Now, Kwasi Appiah will have all the options he heeds to win this match.

Caution: It will not be beneficial to hurt each other during justify your inclusion. For all will be needed in one point or the other.

Now to the players:

I pray they play according to the coach's strategies. Since some of them will see themselves as stars among the few, I pray they don't get carry away with their ego. Playing as a team will help us to win this match. We are all aware that even Ivory Coast with all their superstars couldn't overcome this same Zambia national team. This alone tells us that it is not by the number of stars you have in your possession, but by the determination of the players to win, and by the willingness of the players to play as a team.

Therefore, allow unity, instead of individuality, to prevail by playing as a team. We play together, we win together.

This is my say.

POW, I understand your point but from what I'm getting from this squad, some of the players are known to be among the 23 and even the first 11 if not exaggerating. Others, I can say, there would be dilemma on their quest to make the cut. These are the players, I could bet you, would die to have selection. In other words, they will kill themselves on the field to gain selection. On the contrary, the point is, killing themselves wouldn't happened without killing others. It will be a competition between them and the regular predicted players. This will bring injuries to the ones anticipated to be featured.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying some of the players invited are not needed. What I'm saying is some are better than others. Some would be chosen before others. Those who are better, unless they are not fit, it is a must that they will be the ones to be included in the first 11 players. Hurting these needed players will cause the team. They need to be careful. That is all.

Options and selections:

1. Fatau Dauda - back-up (Razak Brimah)
2. Micheal Essien - back-up (Samuel Inkoom)
3. Harrison Afful - back-up (I would have say, Daniel Opare but the player hasn't been competitively playing. His justify will tell whether he would be selected on not but I doubt it. So I will leave there open because we have an option to bring Kwedwo Asamoah back since we have Andrea, Atsu, and even Frank Acheampong who also can penetrate the defense of Zanbia from the right wing.
4. John Boye - back-up (Rashid Sumaila)
5. Mohamed Awal - back-up (Jonathan Mensah)
6. Rabiu Mohammed - back-up (Yussif Raman Chibsah)
7. Andrea Ayew - back-up (Abdul Majeed Warris)
8. Wakaso Mubarak - back-up (Emmanuel Agyeman Badu)
9. Asamoah Gyan - back-up (Mahatma Otoo)
10. Kevin Prince Boateng - back-up (Christian Atsu)
11. Kwedwo Asamoah - back-up (Frank Agyampong)

Players am not certain would be included in the 23 are

1. Daniel Opare
2. Albert Adormah
3. Solomon Asante
4. Richard Kissi Boateng

They are 4 though are supposed to be 3.

Sorry, I meant to say from the LEFT WING instead not right wing.

As if you read my mind! The expectation is really high. You are a little too late on your advise.

Do you blame me? Why shouldn't I? With these players, come on, we need to win and win big. Any result less than 2-0 will be disappointed. Kwasi Appiah will have to come out with two formations (attacking and retrieving) that could fit the playing body and also give us the opportunity to be able to use most of the best players we have.

4-2-3-1 would range like this

Essien, Boye, Awal, Afful

Rabiu, Wakasso

Ayew, Boaten, K. Asamoah

Asamoah Gyan (If only Fit)

At least, with this 4-2-3-1 (that is when we have possession) formation instead of the 4-4-2 diamond I predicted the last time, the midfield would be crowded because it would turn to become a 4-5-1 formation for the opponent when they attack.

Since Zambia has nothing to loose, I'm sensing a 4-3-3 formation for them. Here are my predictions for that 3 midfielders and 3 attackers for them.

Midfielders:

Chisamba Lungu
Rainford Kalaba
Francis Kasonde

Attackers:

Christopher Katonga
Jacob Mulenga
Emmanuel Mayuka

There would be war in the midfield. I can't wait to watch this match.

IN GM 1, KASA WAS THE ONLY GH PLAYER MAKING INROADS INTO THE ZAMBIAN 18,
IN THE 1STHALF. INFACT, KASA GOT THE PENALTY, WHICH GYAN MISSED.
KASA ALSO HAD A CLEAR CHANCE AS WELL, WHICH WENT WIDE.
GAME 2 WAS JUST HORRIBLE.
IN OVER 90MIN, GH HAD LESS THAN 4 SHOTS ON GOAL.
IN THE ENTIRE GAME! HOW DO EXPECT TO SCORE?!
