    not bad at all

  • Krikri 10 years ago

    On what basis were these two included?

  • Kwame 10 years ago

    Why do we always make some people to sweat it out for us to qualify for the world cup only for some strange names to pop up after, when it is time for the tournament itself?

  • BAABOO 10 years ago

    Please' guys, you betters stop flawing to sink AA, he is doing a difficult job, and so far his performance as been good. On the selection side I think its quiet surprising to identify new faces but that is ok and mind you it' ...

    I can only count four names in the attacking basket, why is it so?

  • lani ab. First grade teacher ,,Zualen 10 years ago

    ...because players have ups and downs
    they are not Robots set up fo the same duty, Players also having psycholy issues, that lead to flups.

  • Needed a call! 10 years ago

    He is tall, skillful and bulish, best of it all he can score on penalties. mOur defenders are very short and a reason i would applaude the inclusion of Isaac Vorsah.
    Albert Adomah,Jordan Ayew and Emmanuel Frimpong should no ...

    not bad but the goalkeepers I prefer Fatua Dauda that guy is very good. than . Adams Kwarasey

  • Richard 10 years ago

    I think Akwesi Appiah has to be careful with this Adomah guy that is if this story is true. How he can select him (Albert Adomah) ahead of somebody like Afriyie Acquah seriously beats my imagination.

  • John 10 years ago

    Do you know anything about football coaching,then go and take over from him.

  • Leeeee 10 years ago

    that guy has been part of the team throughout the qualification and you expect the coach to drop him now. you must be out of your mind. he deserves to go to brazil even if as ball boy.

  • anokwale 10 years ago

    The best example is Ivory Coast. All the big names but if the cohesion is not there, you have another story. You do not need a superstar at every position. Sometimes you need players who play a specific narrow role. To st ...

  • Conqueror 10 years ago

    Put on your reading glasses.

  • askantwi 10 years ago

    Excellent call up. i was hoping Frank Acheampong will be included. Also David Accam and Afriyie Acquah are a surprised omission.

  • CHE ANDREW 10 years ago

    I think these three need to prove themselves at the call up. Leaving them out is not a good idea.

  • Sammy the Sheriff 10 years ago

    Frimpong spot should have been given to A. Acquah, he is a better player.

  • Nokwarehene 10 years ago

    Oh! where is Acquah?

  • opoku drc 10 years ago

  • Ghfuo, change ur thinking 10 years ago

    If foreign coaches can give opportunities to local players. Why isn't a local fie ne fie coach like aa given chances to local players? Where is adusei, ainooson, yiadom, acquah, Assifuah, eghan, antwi? Aa is on drugs!

  • BAABOO 10 years ago

    Please stop that local players, that is why we have local Black stars for them to prove them selves. World cup and other competitions are not yet to end and should continue to prove them selves for the next.

    I will start with goalkeeping. We will take three so more likely Daniel Agyei is the odd man out.

    Is Assifuah not better Adomah and Waris? John Mensah and John Paintsil don't have to be left out.

  • Sammy the Sheriff 10 years ago

    You are really out of line. Assifuah for Waris? How many goals has he scored in that lowly league in Norwag or Sweden?

  • Leeeee 10 years ago

    you are not current my friend. get outta here. Assifuah...who is he??

  • not good enough!!! 10 years ago

    A.a remove jordan and rather take accam for speed. Acquah should replace adomah. Include John Mensah in place of baba rahman or sumaila

    Yet you did not see reasoning about Yiadom.I like the boy,for it's not easy to play in Italian Serie B and come out tops.

  • The Truth 10 years ago

    Why include Jordan Ayew, he should be dropped . He is not that good to go to Brazil-I think there was pressure from certain government officials for coach Appiah to include him.-Bullshit.

  • Mark 10 years ago

    The squad is okay. I think the coach's decision might be based on need. If you have too many players who can play a certain role, some of them will have to be dropped, even if they might be better than some others who can pla ...

  • BAABOO 10 years ago

    I BELIEVE THIS PARTICULAR ONE IS SERIOUSLY TRUE.

  • Kwabena 10 years ago

    Frimpong and Annan should not be in the team. they should be replaced by Afreyie Acquah and Boakye Yardom.

  • COMMON SENSE 10 years ago

    ITHINK ANNAN WILL BE DROP AFTER NEDERLAND MACH.

  • GHFUO, be serious & change ur MENtali 10 years ago

    Acquah is a midfielder and Jordan is a striker. Therefore, Acquah cannot replace Jordan.
    Indeed, Acquah should replace Annan.
    Adomah should be out.
