Please, give the coach some space to do his work. He is trying new formations for his team. Trial matches are the only way he can build the team. Whether the clubs BSs are playing are Africans or not, does not matter at this point in time. Tuning the players to his instructions is what matters. After all, how many African clubs or teams are ready to fly to Spain to honor trial matches with the BSs?

Grant's contract says he should not worry about winning AFCON. So it is cool for him as long as his salary is intact.

It seems we don't know what we really wants as a soccer nation. We wish for licences "A" soccer tacticien and we have got one, what else do we want more.
At times we have to learn how to speak with our eyes and watch with our mouth, time to say something against or in support for the new coach Grant is not yet. Well said Harris.

Haaa Only Time Will Tell.

Mr. N(asty-Guard) GFA looks for pure foreign Soccer Tacticien and we had found one. If you have paid close attention to coach Grant method from beginning he said, where there is going to be too Hot, he gonna need cold first. So why are you so worried about his tactical idea. "What if" his method works then what you gonna do, do you want me to forcibly demote you as D3puty Governor? No body is glorifying Grant at the moment but we are only watching him closely.

There is no need to sound the false alarm.

Haaa it's hard to daff.

Please try and be pragmatic and stop following blindly.We should let the coach continue experimenting into the tournament.That is what you want? South Africa that is serious ,started planning even before they finished playing their qualifying series That is why they were able to get Zambia and Cameroun to play against them.We have fools and corrupt officials who only want results and how to steal money.and can't think properly.

Rasheed who said they want results they only want to steal money and only fools will be happy with this and call for space.

Comrades, I think you guys has pushed the panic butt soo fast. The Nyantaky led GFA has got us a fully competent Tacticien, why couldn't we wait after the "do well" Afcon before raise the alarm if something was not right. I think there is two sides of this equation, either we wait for the out come or we just jump in and criticize for no concrete proof.

He is right. Play at least one solid African team, just for a test. Well, maybe they are taking it easy, trying to avoid injury. We'll see.

Shut up and stop your nonsense. The countries that have won the world cup to date do not include a single one from Africa. All our better players mostly go to Europe to ply their trade. So if we want to test our strength, is it not sensible to go against teams / countries outside Africa?

YOU MR. N IS RATHER THE ONE LACKING COMMON SENSE!! JUST SIT DOWN AND THINK, ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT ANY EUROPEAN NATIONAL TEAM, SAY PORTUGAL, IF THEY WERE TO PARTAKE IN THE AFCON THEY WOULDN'T MAKE A BIG HEADWAY?!!! SOCCER REQUIRES LOTS OF MENTAL ABSORPTION WHICH THE EUROPEAN EXPOSURE CAN PROVIDE!!! BY YOUR THNKING IT TAKES ONLY FREINDLIES WITH OTHER AFRICAN TEAMS TO BE AFCON READY, WRONG!

As a Team you play friendly to find your rythm and develop your game. Its not about win ore lose. And european Teams challenge you better.

WHAT A SHAME, ALL THE AFRICAN CONTINGENTS TO AFCON 2015 WOULD BE LED BY WHITE MEN. 54 YEARS AFTER INDEPENDENCE AND STILL AT SQUARE ONE. THE EARLIER YOU START DOING THINGS FOR YOURSELF THE BETTER. "GYIMI"COUNTRY.

most of the coaches and players at afcon play in europe and in european leagues look at Algeria it doesnt matter whom you play against. Get over this African mentality

Well. It makes sense to learn all the 'tricks' and ball sense that make european teams so successful at beating african teams.
It makes more sense that, if we fare well playing european teams , we should even do much better when we apply the skills we learn from those matches to play african teams.
Nothing beneficial, no new tricks playing friendlies with african teams.
I hope i make some sense.
How many african teams were able to be at european teams at the last WC or all world cups.?
