Solomon Asanti has played well; Derreck Boateng on the other hand make some elementary mistakes and he needs to be talked to.

Game over, Ghana won 3-0. Let us wait and see how they will do in the next match. Taking the games one game at a time. Good job boys.

They can benefit greatly from the speed of Adoma if they play play directly instead of dribbling before passing to him!!as he was caught offside on many occassions!!

Overall an excellent performance. Mubarak was wonderful. Agyemang Badu was awesome (He actually had a second header that I think crossed the line but we have to wait for goal line technology). Adomah is fast and was strong down the right side. No one was bad. Atsu was played out of position as a defensive midfielder so he was not the flashy guy from previous games. Generally, I would say that this is an example of the fact that names do not win games, players who are HUNGRY AND HAVE SOMETHING TO PROVE ARE THE KEY.

My goal in watching the match is to see Akwesi Appiah wins and he did. I am not question his confidence you on the order is always look for something to bring him down. When we played China and some of else said good job you were up in arms finding anything to nail the man. A win is a win. FC Bayern Munich out played and out smart Chelsea by the end of 120 minute who became the European Champions. I have constructive thinking and have no hidden agenda.

"I am not question his confidence you on the order is always look for something to bring him down." Mr. Stated.

First of all, you tend to read my comments wrongly. Where did I mention the coach's confidence? Please go back to my comments and read them again. In case you missed it, I haven't been mentioning the coach's confidence by mine in him. Do you understand now, Mr. N? I don't have full confidence in the coach doesn't mean you shouldn't or the coach shouldn't have confidence in himself. Do you get that? Please know how you could distinguish between the two. Thank you!

"When we played China and some of else said good job you were up in arms finding anything to nail the man." Mr. N. again indicated.

Who told you we won that match? August 15th, 2012, Ghana vs. China ended up 1-1, go and double check for you need help when it comes to facts. Do you know what happened in that game? The coach was standing at a corner in the reserve players booth and wasn't showing any action indicating he was directing the players to win that game. We were down by one through an unfortunate penalty, but came back to equalize it. After our goal, our players relaxed as if they were winning.

Besides, my first comment was "Our Black Stars were not that strong." Go back and check and stop that thing you always doing in here. Find someone who cares not about facts to play that game with, not me. The team didn't play well that day and yes, I said it, the TEAM including the coach. Therefore don't tell me I find everything wrong with the coach. If I don't have confidence in the coach, it is up to me to access the coach and begin to trust him. If that test I set for the coach in order for me to trust his leadership has not been accomplished, do you want me to force myself to have confidence in him? It doesn't work like that.

You having confidence in him shouldn't change mine in him. Do You Get That? for you to learn to respect views about MRAA.

Now you have demonstrated to me that You Have No Recollection of Facts. Thanks, by the way

Even though this is not the top-notch Egyptian team we played in the 2010 AFCON final I am optimistic for several reasons: 1) Selection criteria has improved 2) The margin of victory over Egypt 3:0 is expected for a weakened Egypt that recently went through a revolution that has affected its football.
3) The Black Stars took their chances in front of goal through beautiful assists. 4) This is a new team seeking a workable rhythm, yet they came out with an impressive win. 10 of the players are new to AFCON so to me today's performance is a good sign. TUNISIA will be the actual test, because they also qualified for AFCON, and they will be testing their team. There is no need to turn the Tunisian game into a slugfest. The best strategy is to contain them through possession and make them do the running. Getting physical with them will be a disaster, we should not forget what they did to us in 2012 AFCON.

I agree with you, OWASS. Adomah has the speed but he should be aware of the offside traps.

Egypt though was giving out the ball so quick and couldn't handle our midfield during the second half. In the first half, for a moment in the second part of the 1st half, I thought they were going to do well. Then in the 2nd half, I didn't see them at all. Ghana tightened both the midfield and the defense.

Oh Derreck Boateng's lack of playing time in club level is having effect on him. He is really rusted and it is obvious. Hopefully he could gain his sharpness before the real tournament begins.

To all the players, one touch accurate passes will benefit us a lot.

In most cases such off-side situations are the fault of the midfield holding onto the ball too long. If the coach studies the game he would be able to advice his midfield to release their balls earlier to such players to take advantage of their speed. Sometimes it is sad when players are not able to adjust to other players during the course of the game. We sometimes expect these chaps to be a tad more intelligent than they really are.

"They can benefit greatly from thepeed of Adoma if they play play directly instead of dribbling before passing to him!!as he was caught offside on many occassions!!"

If their dribbles were intercepted, then we'd also be complaining that they're selfish, that they should have released the ball quickly, so A, B or C should have been dropped.

Everything they do, we say they should have done the opposite.

Bottom Line: We won.
That's it.
No complaints.
There's no assurance that they'd have benefited more.

People seem to not like Derek Boateng but he definitely knows how to make things happen. He good on the ball and often brings it up from deep and finds a way to make a key pass to someone on the wings who can create opportunities. The key is going to be whether Asamoah Gyan can get on some crosses and finish them well. The team looked good and hungry.

He needs to be more focussed when passing the ball and decide whether to play for or against Ghana.

I agree with your interpretation of the soccer law. Who says you lie? In soccer there can be more than one captain in the dressing room. But on the field of play there can be only one captain as far as match officials are concerned. Ghanaba is right here.

Mr.N don't worry,you will soon laugh at the wrong side of your mouth.Playing Egypt was a waste of time,because there is nothing at stake for them.Please do not run away after the Tunisia match.Our team is full of dead horses.The only player I respect is kwadwo Asamoah,but he hardy performs when playing for stsra.

Did you actually pass WAEC English paper? Your power of reasoning is very weak.

Al Ahli won the Champions League though the Egyptian league was suspended. This result goes down in the record books if you care to know.

SHADY BLUE, Sheed is right. I watched the game, and it looked to me more like a "pick-up" game than anything else. Actually, the 2nd-string Pharaoh team might as well wore some "pinnies" for the game. So, it would not be right to evaluate performances under those circumstances. We must just wait for the Tunisian game.

Congratulations to the Black Stars!!! Ghana against Tunisia will be the actual test, bearing in mind that Tunisia qualified for AFCON 2013 whereas Egypt did not, hence the former will also be testing their team. No matter how difficult Tunisian will be on Sunday, the Black Stars should try as much as possible not to concede. There were too many unforced errors in today's match with Egypt. That can be fixed through passing the ball early or faster in order to keep possession. Loosing the ball under pressure is a bad sign of nervousness and can result in more pressure and tiredness. An excellent passing game can frustrate your opponent and wear them down. Nothing should be left to chance including the practice of set pieces, penalty kicks, corner kicks, free kicks etc BRAVO! and get some good rest!
