    We need to perform when the chips are down and the results really count. It is obvious that this Klinsman fellow does not rate Ghana highly. That will work to our advantage in Brazil. BE COOL!

  • Rabon Zee 9 years ago

    Yeah. It is true that the Black Stars team A with its deadly battle arsenals were not put on the battle-field against the Flying Dutchmen. Was this a lost opportunity to practice battle-field strategy or just an excuse to get ...

    You can't play Essien in the match against USA. The Americans run like hell. Essien is too slow. We need Afriyie Acquah to play his role. Appiah should not take any chances on Essien, it will be a disaster.

  • Koohia 9 years ago

    Goals should be the name of this Game as the other teams will try and score as many against the USA to decide who moves into the next stage.
