They are not high profile players who command celebrity or paparazzi..kp Boateng used his celebrity status however small it was to make bstars better. Sadly, gfa and akwasi Appiah didn't know or understand this idea and excused him off the team. This also contributed to the teams early exit in brasil..I wouldn't advocate for their inclusion because both these two players don't have any celebrity status to help catapult or sell the bstars to new viewers. Maybe they shoukd start dating some white or Asians celebrity females or hire a publicist to engineer some attention grabbing tales, controversy. Ah haaahhh, like Maradona even at his lowest he became a celebrity and bigger than even the wcup this commands more viewers, eyeballs when Argentina plays fifa gets more money mafias.want to bet on such teams..this is.what fifa wants. Paparazzi. Right now these 2 players have no paparazzi, no celebrity status that can get bstars and fifa more eyeballs, money so why break up the team to include them?

It will be unfair for even a single Black Stars bench warmer to be dropped, to create a space for either or both of these two.

It will be unfair for even a single Black Stars bench warmer to be dropped, to create a space for either or both of these two.
Ghana managed to put together a team that has made us proud, and we would prefer even flopping at the WC with those patriotic players, to doing well with players who have never considered Ghanaians.

If they really want to be part of the BS, they should wait until the WC is over. We need no soccer mercenaries!

If it is a sacrifice, why are they collecting money? They are even collecting qualification money. I don't think the journalist understands the word sacrifice. If it is a sacrifice then they shouldn't have collected money. It is work and every Ghanaian who qualifies must also benefit. They shouldn't have collected a qualification moneybecause that makes it like a contract

The sports minister or coach Addo should not even think of inviting those two boys to the black stars. They are not needed, who should play the qualifying series for them to come play the finals? If even they will strengthen our national team we should not set that precedent. Ghana shouldn't be a second choice to anyone, they (Nketia and hudson-odoi) chose England national team over black stars so let it stay as is.

We don’t need these 2 fake people Eddie Nketiah and Hudson-Odoi. They are pretending to be interested in representing Ghana but we all know they just want to play in the World Cup. Shame on them. We don’t need them. I believe we have a very talented squad and coaches who can push us forward during the World Cup.

As Ghana is making every endeavour to build the Black Star with a very strong squad, Ghana should not reject the request of Nketia. Accepting him does not necessarily mean he should be taking to the 2026 World Cup. He will be of good use in the future. Let's work to get him for Ghana immediately.

I believe you really understand what you are saying, A player Ghana needed your nationality switch in other to play for the Black star decided not to. Now that we've managed/struggled to qualified, why now give a second thought. They should also wait, after the 2026 WC then they switch nationality. We dont want any confusion this new Black star team.

If it is just to feature at the world cup then their motivation is not strong enough. They are not needed. If that is the aim, then it is already achieved and Ghana has qualified. Let those who qualified play.

Since he is not good for England why should he be good for Ghana. Where was the family when he turned down Ghana the first time
He is and the family are just being opportunistic. Simple

Bruhh.... Nobody is picking Nketiah over inaki, Jordan or semenyo. That boy has been sitting on the bench the entire time. Kofi Adams needs to move differently and be sturdy

They should go back to play for England. This is real case of monkey dey work baboon dey chop. In the last tournament Gyan was treated unfairly. He toiled for Ghana's qualification yet in the end he was dropped with excuse that he's young and can wait for another tournament. Such nonesense.
