Massa, why should you die while as it is not yet your time. Who said Dede is not going to be included on the final squad. Let's hope there is no injury by may.

What is wrong with Appiah?.Has he been drinking 'The stallion's vodka?. Mr. coach, forget about big names and concentrate on current form. Don't expect too much from guys like Muntari and Essien, because age is not their side and they seem be sloping down the gradient line. Asamoah Gyan's league is not that tough..Vorsah nad Boye have been dormant for sometime due to injury. So why can't you wait and see how they will perform in their clubs before coming out your porous comments. See how Stephen Keshi won AFCON 2013,he didn't rely on big names.Did he?,wimpy Appiah.

Hahaahaaa....confused coach! Samuel Inkoom? A sure trouble spot. Master of poor timing and recovery! Is Appiah, a former great defender saying Inkoom can be chosen over Ainooson? If yes, he is surely blind or lack technical competence. No one should to Brazil as a tourist.

Rasheed can't tell his head from his tail he is the only who should have kept his mouth ooops his fingers shut if he know shame.

The man said we would not make it now that we have he want to hire TD now he want to say who the coach has to take and he has the audacity to question V-Power, V-Power said we over killed the Egyptians and we did, V-Power said he would dispose of the Zambians and we did. Do you want more!!!!!

Haaa Rasheedmulor at his best again. Well, you were right on those old comrades that coach MRAA think they can deliver him from troubles. The 2006 Muntari is not the same as 2014 Muntari. Coach MRAA needs to be more cautious indeed for the final squad. And to my perspective, the untouchables as I can say are:

1. Kwarestic (Active)
2. Daudacy (Bench warmer)
3. Adams (Active at CHAN) or Adjei (Injury)
4. Opare (Active)
5. Boye ( Bounce back)
6. Vorsah (Bounce back)
7. Afful (Active)
8. Akaminko (Active)
9. Essien (some how active)
10. Mungu Yaro (Active)
11. Kwadman (Active)
12. K.P.B. (chief injury prone)
13. Wakaso (Active)
14 Warris (Active)
15. Gyan (Arab league goal-king)
16. Dede (Bounce back)
17. Atsu (Active)
18. Badu (one man thousand)

Foolish Writer: Don't bring confusion. In any expert's list of "untouchable"--baring injuries, it must include Dede, Waris, Atsu; but certainly not Samuel Inkoom.

It is good to have an a strong idea of the players for a crucial tournament in advance, and June 2014 is not far. Nevertheless, and with all respects to AA, I think the untouchables, whomever they may be, should not be disclosed at this time because of the uncertain tomorrow, despite our best hopes and intentions. Rather, appropriate substitutes for every vital position must be found and kept ready for selection in case... The Black Stars are strong and have gained World Cup experience, but a lot will depend on the selection of the STARTING 11 for each match, and, especially, APPROPRIATE and TIMELY substitutions. We wish them above all good health and strength to perform.

Coach, I beg-your defense, goalie and penalty kicking areas need turbulent re-enforcement. YOU CAN,T WIN THE BIG ONES WITHOUT DEFENSE MY DEAR COACH. There is the need for a strong defense body. Quickness with height and strength should be the absolute goal and finality. Any eccentricities will find you and your team parking home at the first round stages. Coach, any team you see in Brazil had taking or raised the bar on their playing tactics and skills.

Thanks for your 'info' as we all pray for our first match with the U.S. Coach K. Appiah, please advise our stars to dump that European style of play, so they may begin to refresh their minds about playing our brand of football. As I've always mentioned, we have to master the game of possessive football---our "on-the-ground" kind of exciting football with crisp but intelligent moves interlaced with long accurate passes, back-heel and side-foot passes etc. Our goal is to have 70% possession and total dominance. Let's blend everything with speed and precision when the time demands. We should play free-flowing or fluent football that'll enable us to contain and control every game. Our purpose is to break any damn defense out there and score goals so the world will know and believe that we're not just adding up to the numbers. Our aim is to win the ultimate trophy. Let's prepare well and with God on our side, we can achieve what seems impossible! Kindly extend my warmest greetings to your assist., Maxwell Konadu, your co-team managers, and the entire Black Stars team. Stay blessed Hon. Coach Kwasi Appiah by getting the latest tools to help you succeed.
