  • $aint Ghfuo: Black Excellence !!! 7 years ago

    SELECTING DWARFS AND PLAYERS UNDER 5FT TO BEAT EGYPT IS NOT ONLY DUMB BUT DUMBER...EGYPT WILL MASSACRE GH...THE GH PPL WILL BURN DOWN THE HOMES OF THEE GFA CRONIES...NYANTAKYI N AFRIYIE...WAT A USELSS SQUAD, NO VIM

  • OLUWA 7 years ago

    THE COACH HAS NAMED HIS SQUAD AND IT IS FINAL. SO LET'S SUPPORT THEM TO BEAT THEIR OPPONENTS, IN ORDER TO QUALIFY BECAUSE WITHOUT THE STARS YOUR COUNTRY IS INSIGNIFICANT

  • The Stallion 7 years ago

    How can the coach select short players like that?
    We are fucked!!!

  • KANAWU 7 years ago

    I DON'T SEE US WINNING WITH BRAIMAH. MAYBE I DON'T SEE WHAT OTHERS SEE IN HIM. HE DOESN'T HAVE THE QUALITY OF KINGSTON WHEN THE LATTER WAS AT HIS PEAK. TRY OTHER GOAL-KEEPERS OR A COMPLETELY NEW FACE.

  • POW@Bursting loose 4 Hillary 7 years ago

    Check the height of Messi, yet he's undisputedly one of the best in the world. How 'bout the other players from Latin America? Some of you guys talk any how without reasoning.

  • Sarskoberta 7 years ago

    You're partially wrong to have cited Messi as your point of argument.
    By the numbers, football,(lets conveniently call it soccer,) does not favour the Messi type of heights in a competitive soccer.

    Assemble a bunch of el ...

    Good commemt, but you fouled it by 'THE GH PPL WILL BURN DOWN THE HOMES OF...' That sounds quite unsual of you bro. I know how you feel by deeds of those fools at the helms of football.Some of us feel same too, but please let ...

  • POW@Bursting loose 4 Hillary 7 years ago

    If soccer matches are won by height, no South American team will win anything. Do I make my self clear?

  • Sarskoberta 7 years ago

    Defenders and goalkeepers in the Latino region have the normal soccer heights at the rear with only about 10% for the Messi types upfront.

    What are the football heights of these Latinos anyway?

  • Maka 7 years ago

    ????????????????????????

  • Bekoe Samuel 7 years ago

    Pls read well wai

  • Sammy the Sheriff 7 years ago

    The only problem I have is the strikers. Abdul Waris, Assilfuah have no business in Blackstars. Dwamena and Opoku the Ghanaian striker in Egypt, they are far better than these useless two strikers.

  • anokwale 7 years ago

    Please take another look at Assifuah. He is a good striker.

  • Adusei Poku, Asankragwa 7 years ago

    Jordan again? This guy is not a serious player. With his brother as captain, l bet you, he will like to take all free kicks, corners. We live to see.

  • Nkwarehene 7 years ago

    With him being one of the few tall guys on the team, who will head home the balls if he should be the one taking spot kicks. I get very disappointed when i see him take corners. The coach should take note of that unless he do ...

  • laonimh1 7 years ago

    WHY ARE YOU USING ALL CAPS AND ABBREVIATING 3 LETTER WORDS!? Of course Ghana have a chance, they should be the favorite. Egypt will play spread out and try to score goals unlike Uganda. Ghana plays with a more amorphous shape ...

  • Nkwarehene 7 years ago

    The front line is filled with all short players and our defenders are neither tall. This is the reason why Grant should have called the likes of Banahene, Antwi, and Twumasi. Assifuah must start this game and Atsu must not be ...

  • Nana Kwadjo, U.S 7 years ago

    Empty......, makes most noise. We do not school goals. We score goals. A word to the wise, is enough.

  • Kwame 7 years ago

    The biggest problem is that our players are too short, they should play carpet soccer instead of high balls otherwise the taller Egyptian players will capitalize.

  • Nkwarehene 7 years ago

    The players must return to the game against Uganda and correct their mistakes. They must look for the open man even in the box and refrain from selfishness. It doesn't matter who scores to give us the victory, it's all about ...

    THESE PLAYERS HAVE NO FUCKING BITE. THIS IS A REBUILDING SQUAD. U THIK THIS SQUAD CAN EVEN GO TO AFCON N REACH LAST 4? HELL NO...NO BITE

  • anokwale 7 years ago

    I think this should be the lone up but I know Grant will not do it but here I go:

    GK: Kwararsey
    RB: Afful CB: Amartey CB: Boye LB: Baba
    RW: Tetteh CM: Partey CM: Mubarak LW: Atsu
    FW: Assifuah FW: Dede

  • BOGASS 7 years ago

    I AGREE 100% . MOST OF THE PLAYERS ARE SELFISH, THEY WANT TO SCORE EVEN IN A BAD POSITION . PLEASE PASS THE BALL. A VICTORY IS VICTORY . IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO SCORES. GHANAIANS SHOULDN'T PLACE HUGE EMPHASIS ON WHO SCORE THE G ...

    hahaha, what a squad. under 13 boys behind my house can beat this squad hands down. Muntari should have been included.

  • Efo Emma 7 years ago

    John boye will do some magic which I believe, either he scores an own goal or scores Egypt

  • kwaku darko 7 years ago

    No wonder the kumawood star 'akrobeto' is advising us to stop waisting money on the black stars.

    Grant can go with Antonio Conte's new found 3-4-3 system against Egypt. Kwarassy in post.3 back- Mensah, Amartey, Boye. Wing backs. Schlupp on the left n Harrison on the right. Partey -Badu middle. Dede right attacking positi ...

  • Sankofa 7 years ago

    We must defend in depth and hit Rgypt on the break.

    We must be prepared to work hard as a unit, closing the Egyptians down and not allowing them to play through us.

    We must take our chances, and ensure we get the win we ...
