A)4,5..BE MINDFUL OF GERMAN AERIAL BALLS INTO THE GOALIE 6YD BOX AND GH 18. DEFEND THE BALL WITH HEADERS, NO SHOULDERS PLS....
B)THE RIGHT AND LEFTBACKS MUST KEEP THE GERMAN WINGERS AWAY FROM THE GH 18, ESPECIALLY PODOLSKI. DRAW THEM FAR AWAY FROM THE 18. OPARE WILL HAVE TO BE VERY DISCIPLINED VS PODOLSKI.
A FEW DEROGATORY/TRASH TALKING IN PODOLSKI'S EAR WONT HURT.ASK KPB TO TEACH YOU SOME WORDS.
THE MORE DISCIPLINED YOU ARE, THE MORE FRUSTRATED PODOLSKI WILL BE.
WHEN HE GETS FRUSTRATED, HE TENDS TO PLAY RECKLESS. SO OPARE MUST BE DISCIPLINED AND PLAY WITH VIM!
C)4,5 MUST PLAY ZONE MARKING AND DONT TAKE UR GAZE OFF THE GERMANS STRIKERS(GOETZE AND MULLER). ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS ENTER THE GH 18 AND CONNECT WITH HEADERS! SO WATCH EVERY MOVE THEY MAKE!
D)THE GERMAN 7, 11 LIKE TO RUN BEHIND DEFENCES LIKE EGYPT SALAH. TO PREVENT THIS, U PLAY ZONE AND KEEP THE GERMANS SIDE BY SIDE OR ON THE INSIDE.

IF THE BOYS ARE READY TO DO SOMETHING THEY HVE NEVER DONE BEFORE. THEN GH CAN BEAT GERMANY.
1.GH MUST PLAY WITH URGENCY, BE AGGRESSIVE VS GERMANY. NO COMPLACENCY AND STAY WITH EVERY PLAY FOR 90 MINUTES! TRUST AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER!
COMPLACENCY IN CAMEROON' DEFENCE IS WAT ALLOWED GERMANY TO COME BACK N DRAW. THE CAMEROONIAN DEFENDERS WERE COMPLACENT AND GAVE UP ON PLAYS! JUST LIKE JOHN BOYE WOULD DO!
2.......2/3 TOUCHES PER PLAYER(BREAK, CTRL/PASS) AS YOU GET TO THE GERMAN 18, 1 TOUCH ONLY!
PLAYERS MUST ALWAYS MOVE WITHOUT THE BALL. NO PLAYER MUST STAND IDLE. THIS IS VERY CRITICAL. IF YOU FAIL TO MOVE, U ARE PUTTING THE TEAM IN JEOPARDY!
KNOW WHO YOU WANNA PASS THE BALL TO BEFORE YOU COLLECT THE PASS.
3.DEFENDERS: DONT GIVE UP ON ANY PLAY N DONT BE COMPLACENT!

4.MIDFIELD:
AA MUST START ESSIEN AND MUNTARI VERSUS GERMANY. WE NEED EXPERIENCE AGAINST THE GERMANS. IF ANY OF THEM SHOULD GET TIRED OR SUFFER FROM CAUTIONS.
JUST BRING IN ACQUAH, AND MOVE EITHER ESSIEN
OR MUNTARI TO THE 8, BAM!
5.WINGERS AND STRIKERS
START KASA ON THE LEFT. ATSU ON THE RIGHT
6.I cANT STRESS HOW IMPORTANT THE WINGERS NEED TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE STRIKERS. CREATE! CREATE! CREATE!
RUN AT THE GERMAN 18. CROSS THE BALL INTO THE GERMAN 18 BOTH ON THE GROUND AND AERIALLY FOR MUNTARI, GYAN, KPB, DEDE.
7.WHATEVER THE GERMANS DO TO YOU. REPLICATE THAT TO THEM.
IF GERMANY ATTACKS GH ON THE WING. ATTACK GERMANY THE SAME WAY. IF GERMANY ATTACKS GH AERIALLY. REPLICATE THAT AS WELL!
8.PLAY WITH BALL SENSE AND KEEP IT SIMPLE.
9.BREAK, CONTROL, PASS AND AS YOU APPROACH THE GERMAN 18. SWITCH TO 1 TOUCH ONLY!
THE GERMANS ARE EXPERIENCED AND DISCIPLINED AND WONT COMMIT MANY MISTAKES. SO THE MORE SIMPLER GH PLAYERS CAN BE AROUND N INTO THE GERMAN 18.
THE BETTER.
10.WHAT IS FEAR?......F(alse) E(vidence) A(ppearing) R(eal)!!!.
LINEUP:
442 IN DEFENDING.
COUNTER WITH THE 433 AFTER THE BALL GOES PAST THE GERMAN 3RD.
2/3 TOUCHES PER PLAYER(BREAK, CTRL/PASS) AS YOU GET TO THE GERMAN 18, 1 TOUCH ONLY!
DEFENDERS: DONT GIVE UP ON ANY PLAY N DONT BE COMPLACENT! TRUST AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER!
PLAYERS MUST ALWAYS MOVE WITHOUT THE BALL. NO PLAYER MUST STAND IDLE. THIS IS VERY CRITICAL. IF YOU FAIL TO MOVE, U ARE PUTTING THE TEAM IN JEOPARDY!

The Black Stars have to start playing team defence just like the winning teams-- Costa Rica, Mexico, Croatia, Chile, etc did. The strikers & attacking midfielders have to shoot the ball accurately & with some power & more conviction--instead of the endless & meaningless passing.The Stars' backfield was weak, against the USA, especially the two fullbacks always committed themselves & made it easier for the opposing strikers to get by them. Please insert Essien in the backfield; use Kevin P-B, Muntari, Agyeman Badu, Kojo Asamoah, Andre Ayew, Gyan, & all the experienced & strong & capable players from the get-go. This is what Coach Appiah & his coaching staff should have done in the opening game: it was a "no brainer" for any experienced coach. There's no time to waste, nor experiment with novices; & no excuses & no second-guessing, ---please Coach Appiah, if you can hear the fans' constructive suggestions. "Go Black Stars Go!"

to beat the germans, in addition to grace from God, our team must be hungry enough to aggressively contest each ball and pace. Don't allow the germans to settle into their game. Don't give them the space. See how Chile policed Spain to the point where they could not play their game. If we are that aggressive and not stand around waiting for the ball we can beat them. But will the coach emphasize that or rather look for tactical approach for the German to get tired and make a substitution or something similar... Back to basic be hungry to win,review crossing into the 18 yard area, don't give them room, don't lose concentration-- mark them tight. God's grace will make the difference at the end.

Guys your essien got finished 3 years ago. he warmed chelsea bench until he was rescued by Monhrino to Real Madrid. At real what did we see of him? Nothing! His so called Daddy (Monhrino)rejected him when he came back to chelsea. In fact he asked Essien to go. Struggling AC Milan took him on Pay as you play basis. They hardly use him. Every sensible coach in the world knows there is nothing left Essien. Akwasi Appiah should have in the first place left him out of the Team if were serious. More enterprising Ghanaian players in Ghana. Essien is too old. Real age (45) is not good for Ghana. Essien himself should have opted out just like he Treated Ghana when he was at his peak. Those days, Michael Essien will Snubb Ghana each time he was called. He told Ghana to give the chance to play for Chelsea and he could sit in stands and refuse to acknowledge a goal scored by his mates playing for the stars. He has never been a patrotic Player for Ghana. He now wants to use the World cup to find a Team just like his brother Kevin. God is watching them. Their injuries will increase even when they drink water. Akwasi Appiah just use the youngs in the Team and build them even if we fail to achieve something good this time. Build the young for the Future. In fact if you use Essien and we fail, we will sack you!. He is warming bench in Europe. Dont know why you called him.

[1] Kwarasey
[2] Inkoom [4] J.Mensah [5] J.Boye [3] Afful
[7] Dede [8] Essien [6] A-Badu [11] KASAM[Play maker]
[9] Gyan [10] KPBoateng
Reserves: Muntari, Acquah, Atsu, Wakaso, Warris, Adams
Tactics
Be your brother’s keeper attitude..two two
[2/7] Dede and Inkoom
[3/11]Kasam/Afful…But KWSAM will play behind the strikers [help defense, midfield and create chances for the strikers].
[4/5]Mensah/Boye
[8/6] Essien/Badu[ one a while joins the attack especially during corner kicks and comes back ASAP[vice versa]
[9/10] Gyan lone striker/KPB 2nd striker plus free role.
Tit Bits
@Advise Gyan to improve upon his headings up front. He should head downwards so when the ball hits the ground can beat the goalkeeper.
@Advise KPBoateng to improve upon his shootings up front. He must maintain his composure to take his chances.
@Advise Boye and Mensah not to lose concentration but remain focused throughout the match
@2/3 Should not overlap unless there is an opportunity.
@4 Midfielder should fight hard to capture the midfield which is the engine room.
@Advise Kwarasey to be alert all the time and to program his mind that no ball will pass him. He must also build his confidence that he has that capabilities to excel.
Go go Black stars…goal….

On any given day, a good coach will never leave this Afriyie Acquah guy on the bench. Strong in midfield and in front of the defense.
Asaasawa joints
May be crazy clue will do the tricks and pump him up with Advil or Aleve or any pain killer for 90 mins. Hahaha
No time to waste, ampa!
STAY WITH EACH PLAY/MARK THE GERMAN PLAYER UNTIL U HEAR A WHISTLE!
WE NEED SUMAILA AND MENSAH TO START. ALONG WITH OPARE AND AFFUL. I CANT STRESS HOW IMPORTANT THESE DEFENDERS NEED TO BE DISCIPLINED N PLAY WITH A SENSE OF UR ...

Hey man, why are you jealous of him? Just wish him well and stop being cruel.
Foolish boy, where's the jealousy?
The guy can't comment on Essien's frequent injuries?
Jealous of what?
Too many fools here like you misuse the word "jealous" without understanding it.
Kwasea, Essien is done.
How is ...

What jealousy, the guy is finished !
Oh Kwami Eto! Michael Essien is a young man. He's just 48 years old so please stop it.
Eto, who are you to be pointing fingers...... you yourself are old! Even Mourinho has said that you are not 28 as you claim to be........ so leave our Essien who is a mere 26 alone! We don't want trouble!
if essien cannot play replaced him with afiriyie acquah.
When was the last time Ghana won the African cup? The decades plus 4 years ago. It's not even worth mentioning for this story.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...... Joe Turkey! You are too much and i love that. Make them make we hear word plus this nonsense of four time. Supporting the national team can kill u of a heart attack. Team Italy for life
Agyeman Badu can do the job. I dont understand why AA doesnot use him. He is even better than Essien. Acquah can also do the job...
The Black Stars have to start playing team defence just like the winning teams-- Costa Rica, Mexico, Croatia, Chile, etc did. The strikers & attacking midfielders have to shoot the ball accurately & with some power & more co ...

ALL YOU FLOKS CALLING THE HEAD OF THE COACH FOR NOT STARTING ESSIEN AND KPB, THERE YOU HAVE IT. THEY COULD NOT EVEN PLAY 30 MINUTES. THEY ARE OLD AND NOT MUCH OF A HELP. KPB CAME IN AND DID NOT HELP THE TEAM WIN. SO I DONT GE ...

Essien's appearance motivated the boys to secure that goal if u don't know. How do u expect them to kill themselves for this useless cheap coach after disrespecting them. Are u serious?
Is it not absurd to read comments like that? Toe injury and the Kofi-USA thinks Essien is too old not to start the game or play more than 30 mins.
Probably, if AA had started with them, the players would have scored earlie ...

Thank you brother Nyansasem!
It will be hard but not impossible to beat a tough,determined German side who have not been beaten by us before,but football knows no logic.Just go out there and play,you have nothing to lose.Go out there and kick some German ...

I like your mentality. I think we can beat Germany with the right approach. WE have to play like the Chileans did today--fearless,flawless and confident.
God bless Ghana!
to beat the germans, in addition to grace from God, our team must be hungry enough to aggressively contest each ball and pace. Don't allow the germans to settle into their game. Don't give them the space. See how Chile police ...

When AA decided to risk starting Jordan in preference to KPB,for goodness sake and in the interest of Ghana,Jordan must have rejected this.But players are selfish.The selection was a shock to all and AA himself was not clever ...

But I think Jordan is probably better than asamoah gyan
I am convinced Akwesi Appiah sold the game to the US. We should be wondering what bank account we are not aware of. May be they paid him to save face in their 3rd encounter.
GOVT OF GH WAS INVOLVED. IT WAS SOLD TO GH FOR OVER 9MILLION DOLLARS.
I want every Ghanaians to know that we hv no players like essien in our team, his 30 tell me a lot I'm our last match, such experience player cam not be sideline on world cup at all, experience need in world cup than anything ...

A player does not become good cos another player is. Essien as of now is useless.

Good selection right there..GSN forward this to Akwasi Appiah.
Good selection, but not asamoah gyan, he's useless. Better warrior.
I saw a US player stamping his toes during the match..I suspect monrhino who secretly told them that he has a toe problem so they should do that
Muntari is very slow on the ball sometimes and I'm not sure about our goalkeeper, i don't think hes up to scratch. Essien is finished.
Don't forget asamoah gyan, he's completely finished too!
Why "AC Milan midfielder"? This is the world cup. Think team unity, leave their club teams alone and write "Black Stars Midfielder".
THE WHOLE GHANA DONT HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOU APPIAH ANYMORE SO BETTER STOP NOW AND BOOK THE NEXT FLIGHT.
Akwasi Appiah is a disaster!!!!!!.
Essien is the best to start, i believe in micheal Essien, thrust Ghana will be at the semi final stage.
You believe in essien ? Wow the guy is old slow and finished
Please fellow Ghanaians what the Black Stars need is Prayers and fasting if we want them to win against Germany. I am pasking all of us if possible to fast tomorrow Friday for our National Team.
