  • MMTTWWWWW 12 years ago

    Both you Sam Johnson and Gargo doesn't sound credible to me because you are acting on your disappointment rather than fact. You told the coach you want to play at any position on your meeting with him, and the coach reported ...

    Folks these are complicated issues and nothing is needed but facts. Therefore,since facts were not provided, there is no way one can conclude or back these players up. They have no evidence to back-up their accusations.

    Let Sam Johnson name names and prove his case and I will support him.
    "REWIND" to 89/90 when the FA and Bukhard Zieze included the unknown and unpolished Sam Johnson into the B/S, there was a lot of public outcry for his in ...

  • Kwame 12 years ago

    A player recently told me even if you play like Messi, you still have to pay something before you will ever get to play in the Black Stars.

  • Caution 12 years ago

    so did Michael Essien and Stephen Appiah also pay bribe before playing for the BS? Make sure you present facts not heresy.

    Only Sammy Kuffuor was old at the time but he only played in the Italy match and let in two goals. Every other player was young. In fact, Ghana presented the youngest team at the 2006 world cup

  • jyga 12 years ago

    Was Nyantakyi the GFA chairman at that time? Stop your baseless accusations... How can you compare Beckham's fitness to Foyoo, and Ghanaian players who claim to be in their 20s even when they are in their 40s.

    If the coach mis-interpreted him, then he is right and can say that the coach lied. It's like drop me but don't say what I didn't say.

  • sakasaka 12 years ago

    if players were not bullying to stay in the blackstars, there was no way stephen baidoo, sam johnson, mohammed gago, mark edusei, yaw preko, dan addo, augustine arhinful could have been part of the blackstars for afcon 2000

  • K.B.HOLLAND 12 years ago

  • Naijaman 12 years ago

    How can somone like Nyantakyi who never kicked a ball once in his lifestime become GFA boss?.Those who served like Polo,Odartey,Razak ect have no chance.I understand why Prince Boateng will not play for Ghana again.

  • TBONE 12 years ago

    So now we are basing the criteria for GFA boss on playing the game. There are folks who have not had success in playing the sports but have great managerial skills. I agree that Nyantakyi has his own issues but I dont think w ...
