    Ah! KOGYAM58, you are very wise, atually I was going to ask him to go to hell, but for your advice, he better listens very well.

  • DON 11 years ago

    Please stop writing letter and think it will never leak, if that's true.
    No one is assured in the black stars. If the BS got a selection problem, better to let someone else say it because you'll make it worse as a player.

  • HYPOCRACY IS SICKNESS 11 years ago

    The bible says if your right hand does kindness, let not the left hand sees it. What does jordan want people to do/. Pride was the sources of satan's fall.

    The boys are doing that with the blessing of your dad....don't think he's not aware of their decisions. Ghana football's success is not synonymous to the Ayew family, let them put that in their stupid heads.

  • anokwale 11 years ago

    Nothing personal, but I think the Ghanaian players need to be reminded that no matter who you are, playing for the national team is a job and a privilege. No one is entitled to be on the team.
