Most Ghanaians are superstitious and backward ppl especially our unprofessional journalists.We've made a fetish out of this Black Stars captainship armband thus many don't even want to wear it.I listened to an interview on JoyFm and I realised Jordan Ayew doesn't even like it.We shd be careful about how we talk about it a time will come where many senior players of the team will completely refuse to wear this armband bcoz it contribute to their income or add anything to their performance as Jordan said yesterday on JoyFm interview.

Brother, you have said it right. I just don't understand it myself. Why should this be news and a problem. It is these journalist who create divisions in the team

I'm watching Madagascar and they must be beaten..they play 2 touch. They don't even pass the ball to themselves. Instead, they love to place the ball into open spaces and have the player run for the ball. Therefore, gh must not focus on zone marking. Just cover and block the open sspaces and move with the Madagascar players. Don't stand and watch them like a dumb dog high on red tramol.

Oto you need intelligent players to execute..if you want to beat Madagascar you have to 1. Your forward and midfielders must play the ball into spaces and be moving. 2. Gh players must do a lot of switching, no zone or man marking. The 7 must run back to help the 2. The 11 must run back to help the 3. The defensive players must constantly be switching, block all spaces or fake like you are leaving a space open and when the ball is played through you cover it quick..basically do what they are doing to you and make sure your pla_ers are switching and also don't stand there ball watching. Block all spaces and move without the ball. I CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH MOVE WITHIUT THE BALL ESPECIALLY ON DEFENSE

You stupid piece of shit! Don't talk to Ghanaians like we are idiots. As the coach and leader of the team, it is part of your job to establish some hierarchy. Desist from making stupid statements like this!

Has the Black Stars of Ghana ever won a tournament ever since they started fighting over the Captain' armband in 1992?Some of us who saw them winning AFCON in 1978 & 1982 never heard or saw this behaviour. Ghanaian public particularly our sports journalists and fans have created this problem for the team.Our players born outside no more cherish the desire of wearing the Captain armband. Why bcoz when Tony Baffoe won it in 1992 in our final match in Senegal some fans claimed he brought bad luck.

I'm rewarding the match. Jordan shoukd have taken the captains armband and placed it on Parteys arm. Also, when Partey was subbed he should look for Kudus and go put the armband on his arm. Dont just give him rthe armband. Tell thr next in line to pull out his arm and put the band on the arm. Secondly, no need for partey, Jordan, kudus, semenyo inaki playing after the 70th minute. Oto should have subbed them early. Bring on new hungry players to run down the tired Chad defence and score more goals. Oto hasn't learnt from hisnpreciois mistakes ebei!....ypu don't wear your Sunday best to play small posts don't you know this? Your best players you are playing them for 90 minutes against Chad. Why?

In Ghana everybody believes he can be a coach to discuss tactics.You would never hear of Ghanaians discussing the Economic Budget delivered by the Finance Ministers bcoz they fear the terms used.

It is not about the material but the value. A certificate is a piece of paper but its value cannot be underestimated.

The Ayews have disturbed captaincy for a long time so it's now unattractive.

Gideon Mensah's commitment is questionable, always removing his leg from crunch tackles. It is a bad behavior because I saw other players watching, they will also do the same.

The OTTO boy is using the Black Stars position to learn how to be a manage. The unfortunate part is, instead of being humble about it he is cultivating the habit of talking smart and shit about it to Ghanaians!
