    When was the last time inkoom played club football? We need essien in midfield

  • GHFUO, be serious & change ur MENtali 11 years ago

    THESE 2 ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO HAVE A CHANCE OF DEFENDING RONALDO. U HVE TO PLAY ZONE AGAINST CRO7. U HVE TO GET INTO HIS HEAD TO THROW HIM OFF HISGAME. THESE 2 MUST BE DONE. CRO7 IS FAST N MENTALLY TOUGH. HOWEVER, IF U CAN GE ...

    Our defense should be solid. They must be able to outrun Ronaldo that's all. If he can run faster than our defense then we shall have a problem. That is why I keep emphasizing on stamina!

  • Nokwarehene 11 years ago

    Undoubtedly, no one person can handle this task alone but Akaminko seems to be the best we have.

  • Alugu 11 years ago

    Does he play left full back?

  • OSEI TAWIAH 11 years ago

    Only a player with enough pace and energy can handle Ronaldo and for that Essien is out and Inkoom is too short and weak. Boye and Vorsah are my choices. Akaminko is good but I am not too sure about his pace. As for Opare, he ...

  • GHFUO, be serious & change ur MENtali 11 years ago

    CRO7 WILL BE OPERATED PRIMARILY ON THE LEFT FLANK. SO GH NEEDS A CREDIBLE RIGHT BACK. IN MY OPINION, THE ONLY PLAYERS WHO CAN HANDLE HIM ARE OPARE, JONATHAN MENSAH AND ESSIEN. IF AA CAN USE THESE 3 AS RIGHT FULL BACKS AGAINST ...

    Whoever keeps writing this foolish article should stop this. This because ronaldo is not the only player on the pitch to be worried of,even if all the tactic will be elaborate around ronaldo. Ghanaian should rather think to f ...

    Hunger can make one do anything stupid to survive.

  • rard Kotanko Germany 11 years ago

    Stop this nonsens and advice the player to stop interviews about WC.
    Better train hard a. be serious

  • afrikan 11 years ago

    Your analysis are good but we are NOT going to play against ronaldo alone. Also, he is NOT going to feature in all the teams we will meet on our way. Curtailing ronaldo alone will not guarantee we will win the match. He is ju ...

    how many cups did he win. if ivory coast were able to hold Portugal to a goaless draw at 2010 world cup , why not Ghana.am tired and sick of this shit mennn!

  • Akamai 11 years ago

    Essien is slow and old

  • S. F. 11 years ago

    I agree, Essien too old and too slow mark man to man. He should only be used as the last result.

  • Kofi Babone 11 years ago

    Na true true talk be that. Even when Essien was at his peak during his first spell at Chelsea, he struggled anytime he came up against Ronaldo playing for Manchester United. Now that Essien is much older and much slower, Rona ...

    I would say that Essien is good to have for experience but he is certainly not a 90 minute guy for the World Cup. He should be a super sub. We need the energy of Rabiu Mohammed.

  • Akamai 11 years ago

    Essien is slow and old

  • Skillful 11 years ago

    Agosta God bless u!!

  • Paul 11 years ago

    Every footballer of clot in Ghana is old, haba! Let's concern ourselves of their performance and stop this age thing. In sports, the younger ones are there, but the older ones are still performing, even in boxing!

  • Proud Ashanti 11 years ago

    Gyan is equally dangerous. Thanks for looking at our strengths

  • JAK The Ripper 11 years ago

    Wharever the Black Stars do they must be very wary of Ronaldo and his childish pranks...simulation and faking/feigning serious injury when tackled by opponents to win a referee blowing for a sympathetic foul or penalty. Not e ...

    I trump Opare and Afful either of them can handle him, we can win.

  • Sundiate Kurumanguru 11 years ago

    Inkoom sucks. He has caused Ghana three Championships.

    CHAN2009 (DR Congo picked on him to score twice), AFCON 2010 (Gedo walked past him and Lee Addy to score the winner), AFCON 2012 (He gave the ball to the Zambians to ...

    We might need big people in the back. Normal center backs might have to be moved to lateral defense. For instance, J. Mensah at RB. Center backs Vorsah and Boye. Left back Akaminko.

  • ekomdeboy 11 years ago

    I wonder if Ghanaian journalist can really write? Is okey to quotes from ones work but I find most articles here copy and paste from goal.com

  • DANSO 11 years ago

    I think Michael Essien and Harrison Afful will do for christiana Ronaldo. We can also try Daniel Opare, but I am not of Samuel Inkoom. Please let's be carful!

  • Fiifi 11 years ago

    John Mensah,Boye,Afful or Opare/Inkoom are my choices to man Any dangerous player we may face not just Ronaldo.

  • Dhuruwah 11 years ago

    Ronaldo is only human. As long as a defender, (I don't care who) does not kick him down for a free kick or a spot kick, he can be handled.

  • Adongo Johnson Kukurubini 11 years ago

    Yes my brother,that`s surely going to be the problem! The guy is super fast and that`s why Essien can`t handle him. Any other assigned to him should be extra careful or else he is only going to be kicking him for a number of ...

  • Jiggy jiggy 11 years ago

    Essien is by far our best Right Back. Opare is a red-card magnet, just see how this young kid Neymar had him sent off after 40 minutes. Then Inkoom is a benchwarmer in Ukraine, so don't expect magic from him either. And then ...

  • Sundiate Kurumanguru 11 years ago

    You all have forgetting the European Champions League final Manchester United against Chelsea in Moscow a few years ago. Ronaldo easily beat and out-jumped Michael Essien for the fist goal for Manchester United.

    As usual, Ghanaians and talk and talk and talk. Instead of leaving the issue of Ronaldo to Kwasi Appiah and his technical handlers, Ghanaians have already starting talking more than is necessary - as if they're coaches thems ...

    Ronaldo's selfish ambition in his team that has been criticized by nani and some team mates sometime ago still persist and Ghana is gonna beat them.
