Ghana is here to win not play fine fine football. A win is a win football as in soccer is about scoring goal it not a boxing match. Prof S'Berta and his son Slimzay should note. The Good book says this: "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?" I am saying this: For what does it profit a Ghana to play all dame dame fine fine football and fail to win.?

gh 3 vs burkina 0
GYAN, OMOTUO TUO ZAAFI STRIKER!
someone tell gyan that TO BE AN EFFECTIVE STRIKER. HE MUST HAVE HIS BACK TURNED TO THE GOALIE.
GYAN NEVER TURNS HIS BACK TO THE GOALIE. INSTEAD, HE RUNS SIDEWAYS TO THE LEFT/RIGHT…..NO WONDER HE CONTINUES TO BE LESS EFFECTIVE
THUS FAR IN THIS TOURNAMNT. GYAN HAVE UR BACK TURNED TO THE GOALIE. THAT WAY WHEN U GET THE BALL, THE GOALIE CANT SEE WAT U INTEND
TO DO WITH IT.
burkina will play the counter, just like cape verde
THEREFORE, WE NEED FULLBACKS WHO CAN RUN. PAINSTIL SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A STARTER
AKAMINKO MUST BE USED AT THE 2. AFFUL/KISSI AT THE 3
PLS, DONT USE BOYE AS A STARTER IN THIS GAME. USE EITHER JONATHAN/AWAL.
OUR DEFENDERS MUST MAKE SURE THAT GOALIE DAUDA GOES ON VACATION IN THIS SEMI FINAL.
DAUDA MUST GO ON VACATION IN HAWAII IN THIS SEMI FINAL GAME. WE WANT TO SEE HIM SLEEPING IN THE NET.
BCOS HE IS TIRED!
WE WILL NEED TO PRESSURE THE BURKINABES INCESSANTLY.
PRESSURE THEM FROM THE WINGS. KASA AT 11, ASANTE/ATSU AT 7 AND HAVE THEM OVERLAP.
PLS, DONT START GYAN. ALLOW CLOTTEY OR YIADOM TO PLAY. CLOTTEY CAN USE HIS QUICKNESS, YIADOM HIS HEIGHT.
WE HVE TO PRESSURE THE BURKINABES TO THEM MAKE MISTAKES IN THE 18.
OUR PLAYERS MUST PLAY BREAK N PASS BALL. CONTROL THE FLOW OF THE GAME. MOVE THE BALL ALONG THE WINGS N TRU THE MIDDLE.
FYI: NEUTRALISE PITRIOPIA N THE BURKINA CAPTAIN.
AA, USE THIS GAME TO PRESSURE THE BURKINABES.
OUR WINGERS, MIDFIELDERS N STRIKERS MUST INVADE AT WILL.
THE MORE GOALS WE GET, THE MORE CONFIDENT OUR PLAYERS WILL BE GOING INTO THE FINAL.
AA MUST STRIVE FOR PERFECTION!. STRIVE FOR PERFECTION!
STRIKERS/attackers win you a match, DEFENDERS win you a tournament!
AA, NEUTRALIZE THESE BURKINA PLAYERS AND YOU WILL WIN...Jonathan Pitriopa, Charles Kabore, Moumouni Dagano
FYI: aa should START the continental AND LOCAL BASED PLAYERS IN THIS GAME. ASANTE, KISSIS, AFFUL, CLOTTEY, AWAL….MUST ALL START IN THIS GAME.
THEY CAN COMPETE BOOT FOR BOOT WITH THE BUGA BUGA PITCH AND THE BURKINA PLAYERS. IM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YIADOM IN THIS GAME.
HIS HEIGHT, SPEED AND SKILL WILL BE WORRYSOME FOR THE BURKINA DEFENDERS…

Black Stars dont under rate them play like a team for the full time. Critics are ready for your mistakes to be happy.

SOMEONE SHOULD PLEASE LET AKWASI APPIAH KNOW THAT DEREK BOATENG IS A DISASTER AND SHOULDN'T BE ON HIS TEAM SHEET. THEY SHOULD ALSO USE THE RED JERSEY. THAT COLOUR IS A GOOD OMEN TO THE TEAM. THEY PLAY BETTER IN IT.

Do not be carried away. There are 2 difficult matches to win before any of the 4 remaining Teams could win the cup. Caution, please as Ghana is not better than Burkina faso at this tournament and neither is Nigeria better than Mli. A mali Burkina faso final is not impossible. Ghanaians need to eschew pride and arrogance. Burkina faso didnt come to Sa to look at the Great Madiba!Mali is stronger than Nigeria. Pleas let's have cautious optimism. It is not a sure 'banker' than Ghana will defeat Burkina faso. Note also that Burkina faso is a humid Country and the Players were born into a very high temoerature which does not make them tired easily.Please stop this menatality of 'we are better than them'. As Cote D'ivoire which to me is still the best Team in Africa today.

Do not be carried away. There are 2 difficult matches to win before any of the 4 remaining Teams could win the cup. Caution, please as Ghana is not better than Burkina faso at this tournament and neither is Nigeria better than Mali. A mali- Burkina faso final is not impossible. Ghanaians need to eschew pride and arrogance. Burkina faso didnt come to SA to look at the Great Madiba!Mali is stronger than Nigeria at AFCON 2013. Pleas let's have cautious optimism so as not to shocked at the Semi final results and then call for the sacking of the coach. To me, Burkina Faso remains the best of the 4 remaining Teams. Ghana could beat them if the Black stars are level headed and eshew arrogance, otherwise Ghana would be out! Same for our Eagles, we defeated Ivory Coast but if we go with this menatality to meet Ghana, we will be bundled out. It is not a sure 'banker' that Ghana will defeat Burkina faso. Note also that Burkina faso is a humid Country and the Players were born into a very high temoerature which does not make them tired easily.Please stop this menatality of 'we are better than them'. Ask Cote D'ivoire which to me is still the best Team in Africa despite the defeat: they underated Our Players whom most of us at home didnt give a single chance to progress because of tgeir previous lame approach to their 3 prevoius games. So any of the 4 Teams is a potential Champion and a Mali-Burkina faso final is not impossible!

You've said it all. Any of the four teams can win the cup like last year when Zambia was not mentioned amongst the favourites. Mali is a dangerous team. We have to play our best because Ghana has always found the physical teams hard to dominate and Burkina Faso is a physical team like the Democratic Republic of Congo team whom we drew 2-2.

Their left wing, the number 22 guy is dangerous and we have to give Painstil a lot of help to contain him. If we play defense well, we can will beat this team because we will score against them. Though they have conceded only one goal in four matches, they are still vulnerable on their left back defence if we can bring Solomon Asante into the game ealy with that plodding defender.

paintsil passes are either lifted up or faulty. he was giving passes to the forwards alright but was always lifting them up thus giving the forward the added job of first controllling before propelling forward.

I've noticed, Ghana always wins when donning red jersey; Ghana vs USA 2006 and 2010 come to mind. Please wear the red (fire) jersey on Wednesday. And good luck. Take care of Burkina Faso, Oh Black Stars of Africa!
