Appiah is 100% right. Ivory Coast does not want to meet Ghana or Nigeria in the early stages.

Oh Coach Appiah, I am your number one supporter and I understand whqat you are saying but don't agree with you. Let somebody like Nigeria soften that Ivory Coast team for now. We have to prepare like our match with Cape Verde is a final because that is how Cape Verde will view this encounter and it is going to be a hard fought encounter. Don't underate this Cape Verde team because they have the attitude of Accra Hearts of Oak.

I remember Kotoko in 1980 or 1981scoring three goals to nil against the Hearts team of Polo, Robert Hammond, Hesse Odametten, Anas Seidu, the midfield dynamo, Adolf Armah and their supporting cast in the first half and we Kotoko supporters started jubilating with me thinking about my "ABENKWAN FUFU" waiting for me and the justice I anticipate doing to that meal.

Hearts came back from halftime and scored four goals to send Kuamsi and Asante Kotoko fans into mourning. As long as I live, I will never forget that Hearts team. I don't want to have another soccer broken heart so you better pay attention to this Cape Verde team because if they beat Ghana, you might as well apply for a job with them.

I don't want any penalty shootout because I don't trust Ghana when it comes to penalties.

KWESI APPIAH SHOULD KNOW THAT THE REAL TEST LIES AHEAD. HE SHOULD STOP BRAGGING AND MAKING NOISE AND CONCENTRATE ON HIS NEXT MATCH. ALTHOUGH GHANA WON 3-0 AGAINST NIGER, THE BLACK STARS DID NOT SHOW ANY SUPERIORITY IN THE MATCH. FAULTY PASSES, MISSED SCORING CHANCES RAISE THE QUESTION OF THEIR PREPAREDNESS FOR THE GIANTS IN THE TOURNAMENT. SO COACH INSTEAD TALKING ABOUT IVORY COAST AND CAPE VERDE, PLS GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND PREPARE THE TEAM FOR THE CUP. GHANAIANS WONT ACCEPT ANYTHING LESS.

That would have been a real test for Coach Appiah to see what he is made up of. For Niger, I knew and I have been saying it even before the tournament began that they were not all that. The nations I tipped to be strong in our group were exactly how they come out to be. Mali and DR Conger and I was right. The quarter final match wouldn't be tough but we should prepare for the semi-final encounter because the 3 nations fighting for the first place in Group "C" are tough. One of these teams is going to be our opponents. Therefore, Appiah should focus on that before thinking of calling Ivory Coast at this early of the tournament.

What is your beef the man had started a psychological warfare also he has an ax to grind with Ivory Coast he was part of the team that lost to Ivory Coast in the year of Lord 1992. Cape Verde for all intent and purpose has nothing to lose they enjoying themselves that makes them the most dangerous team. Ivory Coast is under pressure to perform and that pressure is getting into them.

My beef is the way our players relax when they are leading the opponents. Appiah needs to focus and have a real talk with them in some of these areas instead of calling for Ivory Coast. He has a work to do instead of bragging. We have holes at the defense especially the right side. I watch the Ghana match today again and it didn't look that good though we won by three. We played better and with more caution against Mali than against Niger. As a football fans you should know that though we won by only one goal against Mali. Did you the chances Niger had, if they were to be a good team, they would have converted at least three of those chances.

Therefore, what I'm saying is Appiah and his technical team have some work to do and so he needs to focus.

We are not all that yet.. Loose balls in miedfield, defense not that tight and showing off when we are 3 goals up? How do you want to play ivory Coast right now? We were lucky that Mali and Niger didnt take their chances. Ivory coast have prolific attackers,and they would not waste chances that Mali and Niger missed agaisnt us. Please if you wanna psych, just do it agaisnt Cape Verd and then move on to the nxt stage. Please!!.

Yes! there is no easy or cheap team. You can only determine a cheap or weak team after a game.
A good coach aproaches all his opponents with zeal, vigour and determination. A good coach i not afraid to take decisions.

kwesi appiah if you are person with common sense you would not have made such a reckless but impotent statement,why? Just because they way Ghana has played it 3 matches is no where comparable to the level of dominance that ivory coast have consistently shown . Appiah just think and ask your self that player to player already ivory coast win hands down. Appiah talk is cheap, i bet you you pants are already on fire that you mistakenly made such reckless unsupported claim.You better gives victory or you will be in exile come saturday for the rest your life.

I'm not surprise abt all this castigating AA. A prophet is not hornered in his own home, when we don't win, people call for the ayews, when we win the team did not play well. Ghana has always be a slow starter at tournaments, you can tell from the results we are getting. What AA brings to the no foreign coach come close that. He s got fire in his eyes, ready for any team.We response according the style of any team. AA won the under 23 tournament when all haters doubted him.whether people like it or not he's the mourinho in our country.He is fresh of breath air among the local coaches.I believe every country should have a coach from their own country. Support the man rather than making all those unnecessary noise as if they can do better! ! All the players are equal there's no best player in the team. This is what people say about certain players and they think they are superior among their colleagues. Messi never get substitute unless hes injured. Support or Shut up

What nonsense , would you like us to go out in the quarter finals or lose in the finals? Winning tournaments takes luck too okay. So if Ivory Coast is playing someone else good for us, maybe they have a bad day against their opponents and get knocked out. Thats the only chance we have of winning this tournament period. Should we meet them in the finals we will loose unless we change goalkeeper Dauda. Drobga's freekicks will be hitting the back of our net like nobody's business. I hope we make it to the finals since we have a favourable route to the finals, but please get that keeper out APPIAH.

Bring on Ivory Coast says Appiah
