It seems all your penalty takers are left footed (Leftees). A dangerous move. I personally was once a goalkeeper and I could easily catch Leftee penalty takers with ease. Apart from that the probability of a Leftee missing penalty is high(from my own analysis). Anyway over to you.

It is true that you have been a goalkeeper before because your statement of leftees proves it. A keeper can always tell the aim of a leftee, and apart from that, the leftee is likely to shoot wide!

Anything short of the gold medal is UNACCEPTABLE. Do you hear that?

I have seen Kwadwo Asamoah played wonderful games but this time I beg to differ. Akwasi Appiah should not even think to add him to the first five pk takers.
His left leg is bend and any shoot at goal at close range even go all over the bar, let alone penalties.
Akwasi Appiah should not mistake Kwadwo Asamoah wonderful skills as a good penalty taker. Please if we want to really win on penalties let Kwadwo Asamoah be the last, thank you.

Did Kwadwo Asamoah take one of the penalties against Uruguay? If he did was his kick better than that of Gyan or more wayward than his? Watch the video seven times and you will decide. Kwasi Appiah should let the boys play to win clean wthin 90 minutes. No drama of missed penalties.

Kwadwo Asamoah vanished during the shoot out against Uruguay. The takers were Asamoah Gyan (good), Appiah (good), John Mensah (the most horrible penalty ever taken), Adiyiah (terribly soft and weak plus very predictable)

Thanks brother. He may not have the skill, guts nor technique to pick up the ball , place the ball on the spot, wait without shivering for brief spell of time for the referee to clear the area, control his poise, and then move towards the ball with a fearless and fearsome aura and release a goalbound kick.

I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE CAPEVERDEANS, NOR DID I WATCH ANY OF THEIR GAMES. MY ONLY ADVICE.
AA SHOULD SIT DOWN WITH HIS TECH PPL AND WATCH ALL 3 OF CAPE VERDE'S GAMES IN THIS TOURNEY. ESP, THE CAPEVERDE VS ANGOLA GAME.
THEY CAN USE THAT TO PREPARE ADEQUATELY FOR THE CAPEVERDEANS....
KASA, BADU, ATSU MUST ALL BE ABLE TO TAKE FREE KICKS AND CORNER KICKS.
I THINK IT WILL BE BEST TO REST GYAN ANS START CLOTTEY N YIADOM IN THE GAME AGAINST CAPE VERDE. THIS SHOULD BE AN EASY WIN FOR GH. 2 NIL FOR GH
THIS GAME MUST BE USED TO TEST OUR DISCIPLINE AGAINST CARDS AND CAUTIONS. AND TO STRENGTHEN OUR DEFENCE ESPECIALLY.
OUR DEFENCE IS TOO LOOSE, LIKE LOOSE PUSSY....NO ELASTIC!
WE NEED THE PLAYERS TO BE MORE DISCIPLINED IN THEIR PLAY AND TACKLES. LESS FOUL$, MORE SHOT$ ON GOAL.
TIGHTEN UP THE DEFENCE....TIGHTEN UP THE DEFENCE.....TIGHTEN UP THE DEFENCE.....
STRIKERS/attackers win you a match, DEFENDERS win you a tournament.
AA MUST STRIVE FOR PERFECTION!. STRIVE FOR PERFECTION!
AA, HUMBLE YOURSELF. DONT COUNT YOUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY R HATCHED. THE QUARTER FINALS R LIKE THE PLAYOFFS IN THE NBA/BASKETBALL. TOTALLY DIFFERENT, TOTALLY DIFFERENT INTENSITY LEVEL.
IN THE GROUP STAGES, AA MADE TOO MANY GLARING MISTAKES
1. DEFENCE COMPLACENCY
2. LOOSE DEFENDING
3. COACH NOT KNOWING WHEN TO PLAY DEFEND/SUB GH'S BEST PLAYERS EARLY SO THEY DONT GET INJURED...
4. PLAYERS LACKING DISCIPLINE. TOO MANY CARDS. IN 3 GAMES, GH HAD 8 CARDS... AN AVERAGE OF 3.2 CARDS PER GAME.

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE IN THE QUARTER FINALS/KNOCKOUT STAGES, AA. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER BEFORE YOU GET SURPRISED.
AA MUST STRIVE FOR PERFECTION!. STRIVE FOR PERFECTION!
STRIKERS/attackers win you a match, DEFENDERS win you a tournament.
ALWAYS DRAW FIRST BLOOD. SCORE FIRST...AND CONTROL THE GAME. DICTATE THE PACE OF THE GAME.
KNOW WHEN YOU WANT TO SCORE, AND SCORE. KNOW WHEN TO DEFEND AND DEFEND. CONTROL THE GAME!

All of you predicting easy outcome are dreaming. You will be surprised, because other teams are not in the tournament to auction peanut. They will be very ready to give Ghana tough matches, Ghan better step up their games

How about 5-0 as the target? If we do as well as with Niger and don't slack off the last 30 minutes that is achievable.

We will not meet Mali until the finals. When Mali is coming from, if they are able to go through the quarter finals, we still wouldn't meet until the finals.

1. South Africa vs. Mali

2. Ghana vs. Cape Verde

3. Burkina Faso vs. Togo

4. Ivory Coast vs. Nigeria

Winner from #1 is going to meet the winner from #4 in the semi-finals.

Then winner from #2 will meet the winner from #3 in the semi-finals

So with how the nations are set for now, Ghana will not meet South Africa, Mali, Nigeria or Ivory Coast until the finals. Therefore, check your teams' arrangements well. Something is not adding up right.

Tunisia winning would have change the situation somehow. FIFA and CAF must sanction him for openly biased officiating.

Why was the referee hostile towards Togo today? Does any one knows why? Togo were lucky to have two choices: win or draw. It they needed a win only, they would have been fucked!

Just watch for the keeper to go the wrong way before slotting it the other way. He is not supposed to move forward but can move side ways.

When did Kwedwo Asamoah step up to kick a penalty? Please, that guy is scared and should be kept off taking it. Unless he insist of taking one. If he insist of taken a penalty, I know were he could put the ball, no keep could be able to catch it. On the other hand, his confidence in taking it is the problem. Therefore, he shouldn't be forced to take a penalty for his confidence in this area is very low.

In my opinion all the players should be given serious practice of penalty kicks during training, with results tabulated in order of expertise. The chart should be kept secret by the coach because it would contain the permutations of each player's ability. The same goes for the goalkeepers for catching penalties and also for shooting penalties. Players who are good at penalty kicks should be informed that they have been chosen as the elite squad in case it comes to it. It is unprofessional to wrangle about who should shoot penalty kicks on the field of play.

We still have to practice the shoot out because at the knockout stages there is a high chance that at least one of our matches could be determined by penalty kicks.
