This is one of the reasons why some of us were advocating for a foreign coach. Muntari is a very good player, but do you believe that when the 'Serbian Potato farmers' were the coaches, a politician would have tried to select their teams for them? Is KA the kind of coach who can stand up to such meddling?

Avo, the man is a sports minister which is a combination of football and the rest of the sports. With this post he was supposed to know fifa rules and regulations; however, he doesn't. That is why the rules are entangling around him at the moment through his comments. I feel pithy for the man.

According to fifa, not even a president of a nation can impose a play on a coach. On the contrary, it is the exactly what this minister is doing. Someone needs to tell him to stop for it is not acceptable in the football system. If he wants to be a coach, he can do so by taking coaching courses but will have to surrender his position to another before he could be hired as a national coach. Avogadro, please ask the man for me. Which one would he prefer? He can't have both positions at the same time. Therefore, he needs to quit his day job. In other words, this is not his territory.

We have the right to say whatever given to us, but here, the minister misunderstood his role as an insider. Here is my reason.

When I read the article, I sensed an inside information given to a journalist which wasn't supposed to be leaked. The information fell on the wrong hands! That is how I see it and here is my clue, "I know", says by the minister of sport, "he (Muntari) has been called into the team, and that is a fact." So you see, the minister thinks his is one of us who has the freedom to say whatever he sees. In this incident, the minister doesn't have the Freedom of Speech because of his position. He was supposed to keep the secret of the invitational list handed to him but he couldn't.

What a mess! I know he will learn from it.

Who is this guy? Yes, you may be the Deputy Minister but it is totally out of your power as to what starts and who does not. That is the role of the very capable Kwesi Appiah and not yours. Does KA tell you how to do your job? Definitely not. Yes we all love Muntari and are happy that he is back in the fold. But when it comes to team selection and what nots, it is totally out of your jurisdiction. Please refrain from venturing into territory that is clearly not yours. I believe you have more pressing commitments to attend to as we have two massive games coming up. Please do that rather than putting what amounts to unnecessary pressure and interference with the coach's role.

WE CLAIM TO LOVE SOCCER SO MUCH, AND YET WE CANT EVEN INVEST IN THE GAME? SO WHY DO WE DESRVE TO BE IN BRAIL? LOOK AT THE MODERN FACILTIIES IN EGYPT?

FRIENDLIES IN GH, BUT FOR A WCUP QUALIFIER. LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY HE IS CHARGING? IN THIS ECNOMY? HOW MANY LOCAL GHPPL CAN AFFORD THIS?
ONLY FOREIGNERS CAN AFFORD THIS AMOUNT.
BRASIL, THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD HAVE REALIZED THE NEED FOR BETTER, MODERN STADIUMS, ATHLETIC FACILITIES. IF WE WANT TO BE LIKE THEM. THE NUMBER 1 THING TO DO IS INVEST IN MODERN FACILITIES,
STADIUMS, SOCCER PITCHES...OH GHANA. OUR PITCHES N STADIUMS ARE SO BAD, SO HORRIBLE. EVEN KP BOATENG CAN PLAY IN KUMASI. YET, WE BEAT OUR CHEST N SAY WE WANT TO GO TO BRASIL?

I disagree with the Honorable Minister in the first place.

It would be WISE if Kwesi Appiah, starts Muntari as a LEFT full back; and was also hoping that Frank Acheampong as the LEFT winger tracking back and forth and also swapping position with Andre Ayew.

What I was hoping and praying about is meaningless because Frank Acheampong is AWOL/missing from the squad.

Case in point, Muntari should be deployed as a LEFT full back period.

The GFA must also appoint Sellas Tetteh, Frimpong Manso, and Emmanuel Armah as a SPECIAL CONSULTANTS to assist the coach.

Love/hate Michael Essien with his presence Ghana will surely qualify.

Hopefully, my article will find the GFA and the handlers of our National team very well.

Muntari as a Left Full Back?. Frank Acheampong as a left winger and Andre Ayew at the right wing. Now we need special consultants to assist the coach. Sir, do you ever watch soccer on TV. If we listen to you, we will sell Ghana back to the British. Go eat your KFC and go to bed.

What kind of man is this. Come on be smart for once. How can you always be out in the media with trash. Are you the coach and for crying out loud, focus on making the local league something good to write home about. Seriously speaking dislike it when you make predictions or any saying concerning the national team. The outcome is a failure. God forbid and God bless Ghana!

In the build up of arguments, for and against Olele and Rocky John over their respective callup resurrections from the graveyard, most people had suggested the selection be left in the hands of the coach only. I mean, him alone.

I personally, in my candid opinion had kicked against the practice with the opinion that, good players are scattered all over and could be folly on us if we think the coach can see and monitor them all at a go.
And that, since the situation hovers around TeamGhana,it is incumbent on the 24 million of us to also help, see and monitor the selection process
in order to ease the burden of the proverbial "One Man Thousand'.
Reason: "One head cannot go into counselling"
To wit: "Nyansa nni baakofoO tirim"

There had been another school of thought that had countered the above with the notion: We are superimposing our thoughts, albeit usurping powers by encroaching the coache's territory for the simple reason that, the coach is black. OOPS! is a Ghanaian:-our very own kind.

I had again, in categorical terms refuted that theory with a counter, refreshing the people's mind that when the 'soccer mercenaries' aka.
"The Serbian Invasion" crashed our programmes, fans couldn't leave them alone, people had had the same audacity to question them as to why this, or that player was not chosen. As to why this or that strategy/formation was adopted in a typical reference to the unpopular catche "One Goal Project"
Why a coach was living elsewhere and coaching from a distance. Why a coach have had to talk thru a paid intepretor and all that negative and unproductive jazz.

So you see, what the Hon. Minister has done is not anything new in the history of Ghana soccer, especially when the GBS is the focus point.
The Hon. Mninister, just like you and I is very passionate of the GBS. He wants Ghana, the land of his birth to succeed.
Atleast, to depose the Pharoah in the coming months so Brazil becomes a straight shot. He couldn't have contained his feelings. Bring Muntari on, he immotionally motions. Haaaaa

All the same, even tho these usurpation of powers may seem to be encroaching the authority of the coach, the coach is mandated to veto such powers that be however credible and workable our suggestions might be.
""As3m no y3 nokor3 paa, nanso Op3 a, na Ob3fa"
The coach is the means to an end.
I don't think any of us, the recalcitrants, have a problem with that.

Right now, as I write, I am in a partial disagreement with MRAA's pick of certain players.
But "from where do I walk to say?" other than to venge my unofficial annoyance, one that holds no water, over why current players on 'heat' OOPS! my bad, in form like Frank Acheampong, Boakye Yiadom, Quincy Abeyie, Nana Asare are conspicuously missing from the lineup/out?
Need answers.
Spoke inside, if you can. Haaaaa.
Beats Me.

They predict match results, selection, and decide and command everything for GFA, Coach etc to obey and comply with military precision. And the Head of State (Mr President & commander in Chief) is even obeying and following them.
