Sir, I agree with you totally.
wonder why GH players cannot be realistic about these issues of competence and ability.

How can Kingson, Dauda (or Kwarasey) do what the best goalkeepers in the world have not been able to do? Ghana will need to put up a spirited team effort if we are to have any success against our opponents in Brazil.

Mr. N(otoblow) As a matter of fact, the truth is the truth. The goal-keeping case is a very serious thing we are going to face and the so-called goal-keeper trainer should re-adjust his coconut mind well.

Every team need experience and old players who can play and we have Essien, Muntari, Asamoah Gyan for old players quota. These three can still play competitive football.We only have 23 spots available and we need players who are active.

You are right again the argument for Dauda inclusion is he had kept the post during the qualifying so it would not be wise to leave him behind most Ghanaians are short sighted and myopia in thinking Larry Kingston played in almost all the 2010 qualifying which cost him dearly his place in Heart of Midlothian Football Club when he was left behind most people who are advocating for Fatau Dauda said Kingston has a temper.

My only bone I have to pick with Lepowura MND Jawula is he started the Technical Director nonsense he does not believe Akwesi Appiah have what it take to take lead us in Brazil so people read his comment with pinch of salt.

Me i still believe in Olele, check his record and ask yourself were was Kingston when we went to Afcon in 2006 but look at him in the world cup in 2006. He is and still the best keeper of Ghana compare to the 3 on board now. In all his matches for Ghana, he has been the savior of the Black Stars. If he is actively playing me i believe he is the best material for Gnana National Team and has always been good in Tournaments. AA pls try Olele.

Olele is too old now. Be realistic.
All his peers have retired or not in active soccer anymore.
Pele, Anthony Yeboah, Abedi, Polo, Opoku Afriyie were all good players when they retired. Abedi was better than most of our players we featured in the afican cup matches the year following Abedi's retirement, but we never brought him back or thought about doing so.
Abedi wasn't even that old when he retired.
Olele has done enough for the country and enough is enough. He should just hang up his boots.

Musa that is not the point. The men is expressing an opinion and if you disagree please state yours. What he is saying is that Dauda made some wrong choices and Ghana should not pay the price for that. I cannot kick the ball straight but I know when a goalkeeper has been out of action as Dauda has, he would be low on confidence and Ronaldo knows how to kick the ball straight so it would be no laughing matter. Any free kick I guarantee would be a goal and they would exploit that. With an unsympathetic referee like the world u17’s we would be snookered. Now you know Jawala has caught a ball before.

It is not for a goalkeeper to stop Ronaldo but rather the defence. If defence is good goalkeepers don't get busy. This man does not know football.

Yes he does know football my friend. What he is getting at is that if you have a goalkeeper who is not even on the bench it's not wise to field him for world cap matches even if his paid cronies try to up him in the media as a safe pair of hands. If you know football you would know that such a goalkeeper would be low on confidence and anticipation would be 0. Also if he is not good for Orlando Pirates then he is not good for Ghana, period. I watch South African football and it’s not at par with Norwegian football.

You can have a very good defence, but i tell you if your goalkeeper is bad you will surely loose heavily. It is always important to have a good goalkeeper.

Statistical we give out penalties at a rate of 1 a match. Don’t want to speculate but this must be addressed by the coaches before the world cup.

Dont even know why this topic is under discussion. Kingston is a total non starter, he cannot even deal with shorts from Jordan Ayew, how can he ever dream of dealing with even a back pass from Ronaldo? You are right on one thing, opting for Kwarassey to be selected as the first choice goalie. He is currently our no 1 by a country mile. Any attempt to drum up the chances of Kingston or Dauda as our first choice goalie will end up in total disaster for Ghana. Should that happen, I will rather watch rugby on the days of our match rather than our games. K Appiah is smart enough not to chose either Kingston or Dauda as our first choice goalies. I dont have any beef with Dauda being our reserve goalie, but our first choice goalie in his current state and form? Definitely no no.

The only surprise would be him picking up the ball from his net after every free kick. I know you are going to say next, God is on our side. So too would the Portuguese. Judging by how their country looks like and ours I know who the angels would support. Let’s be real this is not Mahama day dreaming that the Russians would build a helicopter servicing centre in Ghana. How many Russian helicopters do we have in Africa and how many countries would be prepared to use this hob. Would it be profitable or as usual we are going to sign an agreement and dole out judgement debt money to them because there were not enough helicopters to service as we promised
At least he could have requested that they support our facing out of schools under the trees programme. Now to football. Let Dauda warm the bench that is where he belongs.

Shame Kwame!!! both keepers are from north so what tribe got to do with this? truth really hurt. Olele has never stop a free kick or penalty before, Sammy Adjie did and was far better than him, but one single mistake he was replace by Ole le. Kwarasey did stop some dangerous free kick from Ronaldinho (Brazil v Ghana) friendly march, which he (Ronaldinho) thought it was a goal. 2010 world cup it wasn't only Asamoa Djan or those who miss the penalties, but if Ole le had stop the cheep free kick from Diego Forlan and able to stop also one or two penalties we should have progress. This is the reason why we prefer Kwarasey before them, with him it is not lucky or 50 50, but he read the game and do his best that's why he is the captain in his team and best keeper at where he is.

Once again it’s not that we don’t like Ole le, but there’re opinion and facts, and we’re talking about fact here when it comes to critical situation who can save us here Olele come last in the list and Kwarasey comes first. My opinion….
