It was 6-1, however, this does not erase the poor performance at AFCON 2013. Many of us in our sixties have never before watched so poor a showing of any Black Stars team. He failed and failed miserably and should stop his silly attempt at sugar- coating. How many of the so young lads is he taking to Brazil? He must admit he made mistakes because he was learning on the job and for all indicators, still learning.

No, he can never have regrets because he was paid fully all allowances for going to South Africa plus he kept his job as black stars coach plus other emoluments.

sILLY TALK FROM kwesi appiah. WAT DO U MEAN YOU HAVE NO REGRETS? we all have regrets in life. be bold, and admit ur mistakes and learn from them.
you wont have the luxury of always getting second chances in life like you are with gbstars, ok.
you are too hardheaded for your own good. you dont listen to common advice and that wil be your downfall AND DEMISE.
PRIOR TO AFCON 13, WE ALL AVISED YOU TO TAKE A BLEND OF COMPETENT LOCAL BASED PLAYERS AND FOREIGN BSED PLAYERS WITH AFCON EXPERIENCE.
LOCAL BASED PLAYERS ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE TERRAIN AND STYLE OF AFCON SOCCER. THEY ALSO HAVE A POINT TO PROVE IN SECURING CONTRACTS OVERSEAS.
FOREIGN BASED PLAYERS WITH PREVIOUS AFCON XPERIENCE UNDERSTANDTHE TERRAIN AND ARE HUNGRY TO DELIVER. THIS MAY BE COMMON SENSE TO SOME OF US, BUT
YIU THOUGHT OTHERWISE.
DID YOU LISTEN TO US? NO...
INSTEAD, U WENT N PARADED A TEAM OF FOREIGN BASED PLAYERS WHO ARE PLAYING FOR BIG MONEY CONTRACTS IN EUROPE. THEY WONT RISK ANY INJURY AT MERE AFCON TO JEOPARDISE THEIR CAREERS.
WE TOLD YOU THIS. INFACT, OOUR BEST PLAYER AT AFCON13 WAS DAUDA, A LOCAL BASED PLAYER. U TOOK HALF INJURED FOREIGN BASED PLAYERS, EXPECTING A MIRACLE TO HAPPEN?
I HOPE YOU LEARN FROM THOSE MISTAKES AND OPEN UR EARS AND LISTEN TO ADVOCE WE GIVE YOU FOR FREE.
JUST BECOS WE R NOT CERTIFIED DOESNOT MEAN WE DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT WE AR TALKING ABOUT. AFTERALL, YOU YOURSELF AINT ORGANICALLY CERTIFIED EITHER....
GFA DID YOU A HUGE FAVOUR TO AUGMENT UR EGO AFTER THAT ABEDI, SENEGAL 92 FIASCO...
LEARN FROM BRASIL, THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW. THEY HAVE 4 LOCAL BASED PLAYERS, 6 PREVIOUS WCUP PARTICIPANTS IN THEIR SQUAD.
DONT MAKE ANOTHER MISTAKE AND O TO TO BRASIL WITH A 23 MAN SQUAD OF ALL FOREIGN BASED PLAYERS, LOWER DIVISION PLAYERS, PLAYERS FROM CRAPPY LEAGUES ETC..LIKE NKUM AND THE REST!
NO, OPEN UR EYS, BE BRIBE FREE AND DSELECT STRICTLY BASED ON MERIT, GAMES PLAYED, CHAMPIONSHIP MENTALITY ETC
I PERSONALLY WANT YOU TO GIVE CREDIBILITY TO OUR LOCAL LEAGUE BY BRINGING ON BOARD 2/3 LOCAL BASED PLAYERS. AFTERALL, U YOURSELF WERE A LOCAL BASD PLAYER AND A LOCAL COACH.
SO GIVE SOME SHINE TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM. ADAMS, ADUSEI AND AINOOSON
PS: WHO DESIGNED THESE HORRIBLE JERSEYS? THEY R ATROCIOUS!
HOW MANY TIMES MUST WE TELL YOU THESE BUFFOOONS AT GFA THAT THESE JERSEYS ARE ATROCIOUS! THESE JERSEYS WONT COMPEL ANYONE TO WANT TO WIN?
TWEAA JERSEYS WEI... NO V NECK, NO COLLAR? NO STRIPES WHY?...

That 2013 AFCON was an important learning experience for even Asamoah Gyan. I think it made the players understand that there are no easy teams out here. Many of the ups and downs that have taken place with the team and the players actually were the catalyst to the two most important wins: the 2-1 defeat of Zambia and the 6-1 defeat of Egypt. Now, if they can just win one and draw one at the group stages in Brazil we have a chance. All we want is a chance. Anything can happen.

GFA is also another clueless body acting on the caprices and fluidic emotions of the people. Until Ghana lost to Zambia at the AFCON 2012, Coach Stevanovic had lost only to Brazil in all competitions and Kwarasey as goalkeeper has been super. One loss and he was sacked and here we have a Coach who cannot win against teams outside Africa, no matter how weak. He goes to AFCON 2012 and disgraces the nation and he is still the Coach . He destroys the confidence of excellent players and replaces them with his team C caliber charges. Nonsense

This Coach was handed a World Cup Team so what was he really building ? The frame of the structure and foundation were already I place so can Akwasi Appiah tell us what exactly he was building? Was he trying to add extensions to the building or bulldoze the building to its foundations and rebuild? He is just clueless, period!!!

Many of the Black Stars players at the World up had either quit or plunged into oblivion. You are either a hater or a man with short memory. Olele, John Mensah, Anthony Annan, Prince Tagoe,Laryea Kingston, Abeyie, Asamoah Gyan, John Paintsil, Michael Essien, Prince Boateng, Dede Ayew, Matthew Amoah, Sulley Muntari, Lee Addy and Jordan Ayew were all involved in this mess. So it is true that the coach was building the team from the scratch.

I don't believe in team motivation. I believe in getting a team prepared so it knows it will have the necessary confidence when it steps on a field and be prepared to play a good game.

Not the most tactful statement, especially, when Ghana lost to Burkina Fasso. Coach, do not have regrets, either, when Ghana does not make it out of the group stage in Brazil, because, 'You would not be fired! Those of us who have our pride tied to the national team appreciate this type of attitude from the COACH.

"Davi", you must hv an inferiority complex with whites. Why does every complaint or observation we make about our own people in positions, have to trigger this "blacks vrs whites" comment. Grow up! Damn. If such comment had been made by an expatriate coach, what would you conclude? We are all humans, but we want success, be it black or white. Remember this quotation:"There is more to being black than just talking about it"

Akwesi Appiah, you need a public relations Manager, coz most of things you say are stupid. e.g., I substituted Muntari for a better player - Agyeman Badu.
Now as desperate as Ghana is for an African title you have no regrets for failure. We need to promote local coaches but I must say Appiah is shutting the door on them with his stupid statements.

I have no regrets not winning AFCON 2013 - Kwesi Appiah
