  • OSEI TAWIAH 10 years ago

    This guy Ronaldo gets frustrated and confused and wants to fight anytime he's handled well in the first 15 minutes.

    ASK AGAIN!!! I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH PEOPLE.THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS. HIS NAME "GYIMII SOMAN" (MASTER OF FOOLS) EVEN TELLS THAT HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

    We don't need these two "book long" to come and mess-up the Country.One of them is ok .
    At a meeting,each one of the two would try to impress on the other that he knows.So the end result is long propounded theories without ...

    you talk nonsense no one can stop Ronaldo, what do you about football?

  • FOOTBALL GURU. 10 years ago

    If Ghana or OPARE could stop CR7, Opare have to avoid penalties,cos I can smell that CR7 will try a professional foul, meaning to convience any referee of a penalty kick..

  • BJ 10 years ago

    You're more than right, Opare should never feature at the back. Vorsah can handle Ronaldo as Jonathan Mensah and John Boye stay behind. If John Mensah recovers fully before the world cup, then he should be called. Adam must b ...

    Not yet Pal!!

  • Askantwi 10 years ago

    Opare or Akaminko can do this job easily. If cr7 was that good, why was Portugal struggling to qualify for the world cup. They drew with Israel twice and finished 2nd to Russia and had to go on playoff. PLEASE.

  • the truth 10 years ago

    K.B. Holland, I think you ought to watch the tape of the game between Man U and Fulham when Pansil (Painstil) played Ronaldo out of the game (Ronaldo was in his prime, he was a young, athletic, strong man).

    On that day, Fu ...

    Dont kid yourself, this guy is even better now than when he was at Man Utd. He can however be easily handled but the thing is , he has no weaknesses, he is deadly in the air, he packs bullets in both feet and never give out f ...

  • KK 10 years ago

    We can afford to double up on him. Kind of come in line so as soon as he beats one the other defender is there to clear the ball.

  • Akwasi 10 years ago

    U're right; cr7 can be handled only if we have the right people to do the job. The writer is right about Opare, I have being following him since his under 20 period; he's "no-sense" type and ability to absorb pressure. He's i ...

    What more do you need from Badu,Muntari and Opare?These are players who are without fault compared to the likes of Akaminko,Paintsil,Vorsah and Addy.I think it should be the team's priority to frustrate Ronaldo whichever way ...

    FIFA will do everything to protect its top players such as Messi and Ronaldo. If you try to rough tackle Ronaldo, not only will they give Portugal penalties but they will also get red cards. Such a strategy will guarantee t ...

    Ghana now needs taller defenders especially at the middle otherwise the taller Germans and Portuguese would overwhelm us

  • another 10 years ago

    VERY VERY VERY CHEAP!!!!!!!!

  • the truth 10 years ago

    if that is the case then we should've lost to Mali and Sudan everytime we played

  • Freddie 10 years ago

    Yes. We need taller defenders. We do not have the height when it come s to defenders.

  • NANA APPIAH 10 years ago

  • Rich 10 years ago

    Your talk is cheap, no single player can mark him it has to be collect effort.
    Opele knows nothing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  • Kwame Ayeh 10 years ago

    He needs to improve as far being disciplined. He incurs fouls too easily and a case in point was against Brazil in London where his extreme aggressiveness led to his red card

  • azembajan 10 years ago

    essien can stop cr7

  • Mark 10 years ago

    Tank u, as my friend would say. I would put my money on Essien. If anybody can mark CR7 out, it would be Essien.

  • BJ 10 years ago

    I recall an encounter between Essien and Ronaldo during a tough match between Chelsea Manchester Utd. Essiel did extremely but was subdued eventually by Ronaldo's header. I believe Vorsah and Boye can handle him.

  • agogo 10 years ago

    you people are joking....go and bring john mensah and john pinstil, cr7 cant not be stoped...hahaha i pity dawda....

    Mr. Opeele, please take your medicine and go sleep. There are too many so called coaches in Ghana

  • the truth 10 years ago

    Opare was able to manhandle neymar and i believe he can also manhandle Ronaldo. Opare vorsah, Boye and Afful will give us a great wall of defence

  • Akwasi 10 years ago

    We have to remember that Neymar is just a "hype"; his calibre doesn't come near cr7, however we have what it takes to stop him.

  • danny alvez 10 years ago

    they collect money from these players and come and hype them. opare will be no match for ronaldo mark my word. this opele guy is not a coach all that he do is collecting money from these players and marketing them so that the ...

    a defender who is fast, tough and does not commit too soon on his tackles. Plus the whole backline must learn to work together and cover for one another.

    Opare is a very good player. He's very fast and skillful, although he's not a natural left-back.

    He is not plauing leftback at the world cup. David addy will play leftback and opare will play right back
