I think Maxwell Konadu who is also a Ghanaian coach is up to the task judging from what he was able to do with the satelites.

Can someone tell this good for nothing Kizi Akudago that next time he is going to write an article he better research the name of the people he is writhing about. The coach's name is not Stephen Kwesi Appiah?

The coaching job is too scientific for Akwasi Appiah to understand. What makes him a dumb is the fact he still doesn't see anything wrong with his coaching techniques. This is very sad. Ghana needs to offer scholarships to those young sports graduates from the Universities to take a up masters programme in the field of sports. These guys will come out with scientific way of analysing football than their predecessor's who followed football from infancy and thought that is enough to be the best. After that we can talk about local coaches coaching the Black Stars. The difference between Stephen Keshi and Akwasi Appiah is education, SIMPLE.

Modern soccer is purely scientific. Accessing the intellectual capacity of coach Appiah, he is far below the grade. Ghnanaians should be bold enough not to allow the very few guys who enjoy the bonuses to influence the majority of Ghanaians. The Government should help us sack this ignoramus who claims to be the national coach. Try selas Tetteh.

Congratulations to the Nigerian Super Eagles for winning the 29th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations. Let me also take this opportunity to give credit not only to their coach Stephen Keshi, but the players who did it as they say, for themselves and their fatherland.

I was also proud of the selfless leadership provided to the Malian team by veteran Seydou Keita. In fact, countless players stood out for me and let me also praise the likes of Jonathan Pitriopa, Mubarak Wakasu, Aristide Bance as well as Victor Moses and Mikel John Obi to mention just a few.

The leadership of African football need to take a critical look at what Keshi has achieved and ask themselves why, despite constant reminders about the ability of locals, do we still fail to take pride in our own products but continue to scour the backstreets of Europe in our desperate attempts recruit “fong kong” coaches to take charge of our national teams?

Why do we continue to marginalize indigenous coaches, deny them material support but are always prepared to pay obscene amounts of money to expatriate coaches, some of whom refuse to live in our countries and prefer to stay in Europe, only coming to Africa during the week that there is an official fixture looming?

The same coaches seem to resent living conditions in Africa, yet find nothing wrong in the color of the money they get paid by Africans. There is an exception though, and men like Claude Le Roy, Clemens Westerhof and Herve Renard have roughed it up in the respective countries they are working and have earned our respect.

But we members of the fourth estate are equally to blame for this mess. We tend to put undue pressure on local coaches, refuse to give them the respect and credit they deserve and always hammer them at the slightest opportunity and are the first to demand the hiring of a “foreign” coach.

Ghana has won the tournament a respectable four times and on each occasion, they were guided by an indigenous coach. They came very close this time around with Kwesi Appiah at the helm, but despite finishing fourth, I understand my colleagues down in Accra are already calling for his sacking!

Are we ashamed of our own? Why do we always find it so difficult to embrace our own countrymen but instead try to find fault with everything they try to do simply because we know them and grew up together in the same ‘hood?

Are we envious of what they have achieved while we still occupy the same positions at our respective places of employment where we are even considered as part of the furniture? And now we are consumed by resentment of our inability to ascend the ladder of life and therefore take it out on those that seem to be succeeding?

Is our obsession with European coaches as Keshi is asking, perhaps a reflection of our own state of mind and inferiority complex? Why is it then, that we would rather entrust the fortunes of our national team to an untried and untested European coach without any knowledge of Africa, than to a local coach?

If you think I am being a unfair to federations across the continent, then watch as local coaches qualify their respective countries for the Fifa World Cup in Brazil next year and then get fired or sidelined because they “are too inexperienced” to lead their country at a tournament like the World Cup.

I am willing to take a bet that at the end of the World Cup qualifying campaign, there will be countless so-called big name European coaches waiting on the wings to take over positions as coaches of us “gullible” Africans where they will be paid millions just for a four weeks job.

Of course, indigenous coaches are not angels either. And we have heard of shameful stories of favoritism as well as how they collude with football agents that “instruct” them to select certain players and they are guaranteed kickbacks for playing along.

It’s such a vicious circle; it breaks my heart that we never seem to learn. And perhaps that is why it will take us maybe a century to win the World Cup. Brazil has won the World Cup more than any other nation, check the nationalities of the coaches that were in charge and tell me if I am talking through my hat!

I hope Nigeria and the rest of Africa will show a little more trust and respect to the likes of Keshi and his deputy Daniel Amokachi especially now that they have proved that if they are left alone to do what they know best, they can deliver.

Ghana vs Congo:
congo came back from 2 goals down to put us under pressure. Dauda made a terrific stop to a low shot which could have given DRC the win, Ghanaian fans started praying for the 2-2 draw. whew! games ends 2-2.

Ghana vs Mali
Ghana had few chances at goal. without a penalty converted by wakaso, the game would have been a boring draw.

Ghana vs Niger:
controversy. Niger came back to equalise, 1-1. but the referee refused their clean as a whistle goal. It would have been a whole different ball game after that. aww niger.

Ghana vs Cape verde:
Hahhahaa. outplayed, out classed. A fake penalty puts us in the lead. Cape verde attacks u from all angles, desperate fatau dauda saves gets us a win. Ghana defends desperately. finally wakaso scores from empty net. 2-nil against Cabo verde.

Ghana vs Burkina:
Well, how lucky can one team continue to be. Ghana outplayed again, outclassed, out scored, but refree decisions is giving us hope, lets pray. but no burkina will never allow coachless Ghana to win. burkina win deservedly. paul put is excited, CAF has been shamed.

Ghana vs Mali
Mali finally teaches us a lesson. Another dubious penalty goes for us, atsu drama acting prowess, god bless that boy. hurrrayy. oh no! Wakaso blast wide. well penalty is always 50/50. mali will not leave the game in the hands of the referee. they annihilate coachless ghana, a coach who has been able to frustrate good and humble players like Kwadwo asamoah and agyemang badu to look mediocre on the pitch. KASA unleashes a thunderbolt out of frustration.

AKWASI NYANTAKYI, you want to keep A.A on the job because he is GHANAMAN is good but if he is INCOMPETENT then keeping him ONLY because he is GHANAMAN is dumb.

I will wait till Ghana plays the WCQ against sudan and zambia with this apprentice in charge of our national pride and we will see but it will be TOO LATE anyways. You think they will give us free passage. WE WILL DISMANTLE NYANTAKYI AND THOSE BLIND IDIOTS THEN,

Even in AFCON 2010 the BS was in bad shape because most of the experienced players who were invited to camp reported injured so the coach then Milo put together a mixture of inexperienced players from the satellites and also a few experienced players. We were even in a difficult group with Ivory Coast and Nigeria etc but we managed to get to the finals. Even last year AFCON 2012 we played very well and it looked like Ghana would win and get to the finals until Mayuka's last minute goal against Zambia. This year we were terrible against DR Congo, against Cape Verde, and against Burkina. It was only Niger that we dominated. IT LOOKED AS IF THE GAMES WERE BEING PLAYED BY THE REFEREES. IT LOOKED AS IF AA WAS NOT IN CHARGE. AA why couldn't you change Gyan when he missed so many CHANCES? That was it for me. I started being suspicious of you and GYAN. AA you held back the potential in YIADOM, CLOTTEY, KISSI, AWAL AND JONATHAN (who has WC experience). WHY?

why cant our president and minister of sports educate this ugly and dumb nyantekyi to replace coach appiah to enable us to make to brazil 2014. Appiah can never ever take us there! Even if we luckily or miraculously win all the 4 matches left we don't automatically qualify! The 10 group winners will have to play more matches after which 5 teams will qualify. So can appiah make it through both the group and final stages? No he cant and so if our president, his vice and ministers as well as otumfuo asantehene( who went to south Africa to support blackstars)do not add their quota in saving our blackstars, we will as well call them dumb, like appiah and nyantekyi!

A very big thank you to who ever wrote this article. You have said everything that i had on my mind for me. How are we even contemplating on Appiah's future after such an abysmal performance in South Africa? The argument that Appiah is one of us hence he should be given the opportunity to prove himself once again does not hold water. All indications points to his cluelessness, ignorance and naivity about the game of soccer. He proved to be incompetent and he needs no more time to prove himself unless we are prepared to sacrifice our World cup dreams for 2016. No amount of attachment can help Appiah because he lacks formal education in the first place and secondary, he lacks the ability to think critically to solve problems (just like many of our Ghanaian leaders anyways). Kwasi Appiah needs to be advised to resign voluntarily because he knows very well to the core of his bones that he cannot help the Black stars. The man had no game plan? he could not read the game to make changes when it aint going well, sometimes in the first half you turn to give him the benefit of the doubt but then when the return for the secong half, their performance even derails further and i begin to wonder!! WHY APPIAH WHY. PLEASE RESIGN FOR THE SAKE OF GHANA SOCCER. OUR BLACKS STARS IS OUR ONLY PRIDE PLEASE DON'T BRING SHAME TO US. PLEASE RESIGN....THANK YOU

Well said. I mean he went beyond by appointing Gyan captain of the Black Stars and called him the best striker.
Appiah doesn't look comfortable on the sidelines, confused and dazed.

This is the worst tournament we have played in. Where are the boys who plaed in the 2 World Cups? Appiah is playing politics with the National Team. The selection was wrong and choice of Captain wrong as well.There is no justification for playing Kwadwo Asamoah at the back and leave Jonathan Mensah out. Appiah has to be sacked and the earlier the better for the nation.

When Van Persie retires, how many relatives will be trooping to him to pay his (Persie's) nephews, cousins, etc school fees? None. That is why for them money is not a big deal.

When Van Persie retires, how many relatives will be trooping to him to pay his (Persie's) nephews, cousins, etc school fees? None. That is why for them money is not a big deal.

Sanni Abdulai, a former Eleven Wise, Hearts and Black Stars keeper was not able to buy a 'color' TV. How many of the top European players will fall in hard times like that?

Their society has built structures to cater for the unemployed even in their old-age. Not Ghana. Gyan chose his future not yours!

If you don't like, don't call him next time and make sure that your so-called super players get contracts to play in top EU leagues. Do you think it is easy to get players into Europe?

Why was Jordan dropped? He doesn't track back to help the midfield. Remember Appiah had worked with the 2 Serbian coaches, and he wants players that play like that. Jordan doesn't track back. He dropped him. His brother Andre became peeved, and decided to do what he wants. He was dropped.

Ghana was not lucky, our dependable midfielder, Annan did not even kick air during the tourney because he was injured the whole time. That was a big handicap for the team.

Our next striker Boakye-Yiadom also got injured. So Appiah was short-handed by injuries.

Asamoah Gyan did not take penalties and you're all descending on him. Do you know what he went through when he cost us two crucial penalties?

Let's hope, we will do well next time.

Black Stars can't shine with Appiah in charge
