Don't play Dauda he wasn't calm and was rather too nervous. He should continue training though. He was excellent the first time he stepped in for the Black Stars. His confidence has now gone down.

Too many back passes to the goal keeper. Is this a coaching strategy or what? What's the point passing backwards to the goalie only to kick the ball hail-mary - to the opponent? Lots of mishandling, unintelligent and weak passes in the defence. Also, for too many times I have seen this Dauda goalie mishandling aerial balls. Can they train him or not? Dear writer these are the points you should emphasize, stop bullshiting.

In spite of the flags raised about the Black Stars and their defence, Ghana will surprise and overwhelm the US with a 3-0 win.

4 Year Old's point of view doesn't matter. I will have concerns if our players and coach underrate the US. Besides, this is a 4-year old talking.

Hey people, don't get carried away about this result here. Let's pray that the players will be fit and injury-free. This is the key.

My only problem with this report is how the writer came to the conclusion that AA is naive and occasionally meek. If the writer knows better, he should also apply for the job and coach. I hate it when we undermine our own. Would the writer have called a white coach naive and meek?
Otherwise, good article

I wonder who made the decision for the Stars to play their last match in the US even though that country is the very first team the stars will play against.
The US coach and his assistants were there to spy on the team.During the recent US vs Nigeria, the chant from the US supporters was "we want Ghana,we want Ghana" couldn't we have played somewhere else other than the US?

Frankly, I do not know much about Fatau but the job he did during Ghana-Korea Match did not impress me as a supporter of Ghana, a Ghanaian and a footballer. He looked very timid, indecisive and the uncertainty was just too much. I would prefer as an opening Match, Kwarasey is placed in the post for Fatau to watch and gain some confidence if not, that approach he took when repeated will be regrettable. I would want to see more cohesiveness amongst the defence team as well. Good Luck Stars. This is just my peace of mind and how I see it.

Goalkeeper Dauda did well, and yet he has to train much harder. He was often seen fall on the ground before the ball can be kicked. That was so frightening. Overall,I think Ghana Black Stars played well.

It is no secret that many Ghanaians hate and wish the downfall of this team because we have our own and not oburoni I as coach! Fact is they trounced another World Cup (9 times) team 4 nil and that's outstanding! I saw Spain play El Salvador in a lackluster game at RFK and no one dismissed their 2 nil victory. Why can't you love your own ghanamen? Why oh why???

I have watched umpteenth games of Germany and Portugal and I have concluded that these two teams are well over hyped. They are nowhere near their FIFA ranking, never. Germany as well as Portugal are at best decent teams, they are certainly beatable. I sincerely believe we are going to pick four points out of those two games. We may have by then taken care of the USA. I cannot see our boys going back to Accra after three games. We possess far too much not to get out of the group games.

Who else can play left fullback without putting undue pressure on the goalie? We need a reliable left full back who can work competently with the left mid-fielder to keep the calm in the back. Muntari or whoever replaced him did not provide much assistance to kwadwo Asamoah. In an instance Kwadjo Asamoah run to save the ball from going out with no immediate help from the midfielder. The Koreans got the ball and nearly scored. If Muntari is too old to run back and forth, put him on the bench and use a tireless mid-fielder who will not keep passing the ball backward. Ghana stands to do well if we anticipate the passes more with one touch passes. If our forwards can run and get to the ball first why not lob the ball quickly to them and get ready for a return pass to shoot. In the World Cup, scoring more goals is important; we should score every chance we get but delaying the balls in the midfield will cause lots of off-sides so lets learn to release the balls to the forwards quickly . The US team is fast; be ready for shocking the defense with all the midfielders at once and running back to defend when they lose the ball. Ghana will win the World cup but the players need your prayers.

When the black stars lost to holland we crucified them. Now in victory we still criticize. Please let's all give them the due praises and offer constructive criticism. I trust our boys will do well.
