    I DON'T THINK THAT,YOU NEED TO TEACH THEM VERY WELL, THEY ALL FOLLOW THE BALL ANY TIME NOT GUARDING THE OTHER OPPONENTS,YOU NEED TO TRAIN THEM VERY WELL, WE ARE WATCHING.

  • Slimzay **The Unshakable Shaker** 10 years ago

    Picking the best players wasn't the problem but pairing within the individual departments was the cause of this struggling. He may have picked the best in the country but he certainly didn't pick the best squad for the first ...

    I don't think Sellas under rated the French.Why should he under rate a soccer nation like France which had played the Eroupean finals.Sellas had messed up in Rwanda and was rusty for sometime before ugly and corrupt Nyantakyi ...

    Never true that the coah selected the best players,WHY CHIPSA(sassuolo)is not included?let him swear with gods if he didn't ask anyone to pay before selected.God knows everything.

    Sellas is a great coach. There is no way he would have won the 2009 U20 World Cup if he sucked. Some people will say he was lucky...screw that...luck is like free money on a spree...it eventually runs out. Even a great team w ...

    It is not their abilities as players their sense of focus in a tornament is in question. The midfielders don't retreat to take ball back, neither want push balls for goals. Instead of one or two touch soccer ghana is found of ...

  • Slimzay **The Unshakable Shaker** 10 years ago

    We are still in because Group "C" has none of the bottom teams coming up. They both lost today by the two top teams.

    It wouldn't be only Egypt that could give us a chance. I make a mistake in the pairing of Group "F". Uruguay is rather playing against Uzbekistan but not New Zealand. They already beat New Zealand. In other words, there is ho ...

  • J-Kay 10 years ago

    If Egypt qualifies, Ghana goes home, and vice versa. They cannot meet in this tournament.

    It is 0-0 so far, with England pressing hard. Come on baby Pharaohs!!!

    How many teams qualify from a group?I know we are third in our group but the above caption seems to give Ghana a hope of being qualify to the next stage.Can someone educate me about the rules of this tornament?

    Here is the break downs for each group.

    In Group "A", we have 3 points 5 goals and 5 goals against. This means we have 3 points but zero goal difference.

    With these figures, do we have the chance? You conclude it but he ...

    MEXICO AND KOREA ARE GROUPED WITH GHANA BUT THEY HAVE BOTH QUALIFIED SO WE ARE OUT. KOREA HAS 4 POINTS MEXICO HAS 3 POINTS AND 1 GOAL ADVANTAGE. GHANA HAS 3 POINTS AND NO GOAL SO WE ARE OUT.

    From Group A to Group F we have how many groups?

    6 groups.

    Each of these 6 groups is bring in 2 teams from the top of each table, meaning first and second.

    If England beats Egypt we are out. UZB and URU might play a draw to get them both there.

  • J-Kay 10 years ago

    Uruguay through. Now a draw between England and Egypt or an Egypt win with less than three goal difference will see Ghana through. They are drawing 0-0 at the 63rd minute as I am typing. Go Egypt!!!!

  • ben 10 years ago

    HELLOW CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY GHANA IS IN THE KNOCK ROUND?COS WE LOST TO SPAIN AND FRANCE??

  • Alugu 10 years ago

    There are 6 groups and the top 2 in each group qualifies automayically. However. 16 teams are needed for the next round, hence additional four picked from the best third place holders.

    That's one of the foolish exhibitions practiced by Ghanaians with their copy cat mentality. What's the sense in naming a team in Ghana Berekum Chelsea and Arsenal?

  • Nana Kwame. London 10 years ago

    He picked the local players, so he can get a cut if they managed to secure an European contract. The players who already plays in Europe are no good to him and the GFA, simples.

    The defence is too porous as if they have never played soccer before. Sellas shd tell them to mark the players of the opposing team instead of standing in empty spaces.
