This is not Lip Service. He is talking like a confident player. He is voicing his opinions and we should all stand by his words as patriotic Ghanaians. No negative feelings at this time.

I like Ghana to perform but the problem is the defenders are inexperienced and even jonathan mensah himself is a culprit of giving away penalty kicks.

Start by beating the likes of Montenegro, then you can talk about surprises.

Sometimes it is good to lose. Is it not better to lose at the preparatory stages to forewarn us of our shortcomings and to prepare for the ultimate. The essence of friendlies is to identify your strengths and weaknesses. Our loss to Montenegro shows we still have work to do which will inure to our benefit. We should avoid too much destructive criticisms and rather encourage our coach and boys to work harder to achieve our aim.

This loss was as important as the Zambia loss during qualifying. It allowed the team to wake up and understand that they should not read the press clippings. They simply need to stay hungry.

Oh yes, I agree! That is if we don't play the old European Style and stick to our beautiful and scientific style of play. We really have to shock the world. But a lot depends on our coaches and the philosophy that they have approaching the games in June. The most important thing is to believe in ourselves; you group have done it in the junior WC. We can do it at this level too. Stay focused and don't get over-excited though. The sky is the limit. Stay blessed.

I don't expect anything less than the trophy, my only fear is referees.

Go get a very good striker first and start bragging. Ghanaian teams all lack good strikers and goals are very scarce in their matches. Coach Appiah needs to work on that ASAP!

Lets concentrate on our individual training and team training when the time comes and pray that there will no injuries to our key players. We also need to pray that luck will be on our side during the group matches so that we can scale through. Truely we were not lucky to be grouped with the likes of Germany and Portugal.

I believe and sincerely hope you are right. We now need to see how potent we really are in the next friendly. We need to see our first team on show and see what they really are capable of. Too much rhetoric, lets see something on the field of play. I dont have an iota of doubt that the BS are strong enough to cause a massive upset in Brazil, I however want them to tune up the team properly before the time comes. We should not expect magic come June. Brazil beat South Africa 5-0. That is what I am talking about, it breeds confidence and that is what we should be doing, not losing to the likes of Montenegro so close to the WC.
