AA you should be the happiest coach to have all your players back in good shape. It is your job to put together the best selection that would yield the best results against Cape Verde. Mind you Cape Verde will also respond with their own tactical selection. This is not a time to favor any player, but a time to win all your matches. You are with the players in South Africa and you know who is fit 101%, not only physically but also emotionally. You also know whose confidence is at the highest, who has the highest ambition TO WIN, who is most ready, who is FIRED UP, and who are the players ready to show the world that they are the new breed of African ingenuity. If you can come close to finding those players with the above qualities amongst the players you have in camp, and if you can devise the most effective PLAN for each game YOU WILL WIN AFCON 2013. It would require courage and shrewdness on you part and also by your players to get it 'JUST' right: JUST DO THE RIGHT THING....hoping for God's blessing.

AMANFUO, SHOULD WE SEEK PROBLEMS AT ALL TIMES TO SOLVE? WHERE IS THE PROBLEM AND THE HEADACHE IN THIS CASE? IF IT IS NOT MATCH FIXING WITH KOFI DANKWA, IT IS THE BLESSED RETURN OF WAKASO AND ANNAN THAT NOW BRING HEADACHE TO LOCAL COACH AKWASI APPIAH! WAS THERE ANY PROBLEM WHEN DAUDA HAS BEEN KEEPING THE GOAL WITH COURAGE UP TILL NOW? DID THAT GIVE ANY HEADACHE TO KWARASEY OR AGYEI? IF WAKASO IS BACK, AND THE VERSATILE MID-FIED MAESTRO ANNAN IS ALSO BACK, LET US JUST REJOICE! DEPENDING ON HOW THE MATCH GOES, ALL OF THEM WILL PARTICIPATE TOMORROW FOR THE ONE AND ONLY OBJECTIVE: A WIN FOR THE GHANA BLACK STARS! LOCAL COACH AKWASI APPIAH AND THE TECHNICAL TEAM HAVE NO HEADACHE!

This is the best possible headache a coach could have when you have many talents at your disposal. I'm sure Appiah will put Ghana first and make a wise choice. We shall prevail come Saturday.

Even we the "buga buga" coaches on this forum "kwraaa" can name the entire team to feature against Cape Verde without sweat and possibly name who'll substitute who to end the game.

It is simple in mordern soccer; get the ones who have gotten their perfect rythm to play. Annan should be rested more as any knock might aggravate his just recovered fitness. Rabiu and D. Boateng switch is working just fine. As for Atsu and Wakaso, Wakaso should start for Atsu to come in as a catalyst to replace him should no penalty kicks be in sight in case we begin lacking. Wakaso's set pieces is needed badly in this forthcoming game as the Blue Sharks could be dangerous!
Rest Annan, for his absense hurts nothing but rather helps himself with recovery.

Coach Appiah should keep Christian Atsu going since he has found his rhythm. The boy is looking good. I WILL ADVICE THAT HE BE USED AS A STRIKER IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE OF HIS BALL CONTROL AND BILITY TO READ THE KEEPER'S MONEMENT. clottey is hungry for goals to proof that he can also score goals at international level, please give him a chance and rest Gyan in the second half. All the best Stars, my prayers are with you to trash Ivory Coast at the final to lift up the Cup on February 10, 2013.

Atsu is a player that can change our striking misfortunes when groomed very well as a striker.

TWENTY-FOUR hours after Zambia was ejected from the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), soccer fans yesterday shockingly went into wild celebrations following a hoax that the Chipolopolo have been reinstated into the competition.

In Lusaka, the fans, who were crestfallen after Zambiaâ€™s early AFCON elimination,Â went into wild celebration with some cars honking in the central business district in what FAZ vice-president Boniface Mwamelo described as “just a cruel joke.”

In the late afternoon, a rumour mill churned out one last stunt for Zambia at the 2013 AFCON, alleging thatÂ Burkina Faso has been ejected after they used goalkeeper Soulama Abdoulaye who was red carded in the previous game against Ethiopia.

However, the fact was that Abdoulaye was not used against Zambia but instead the Stallions fielded Daouda Diakite in their 0-0 stalemate.

Times offices in Ndola and reportersâ€™ mobile phones were clogged with several inquiries about the rumour but FAZ spokesperson Erick Mwanza posted on twitter that the rumour was fake and that most Zambian players had gone back to their clubs.
