I went back to yesterday's report to read your comment on asking how God helped Ghana to progress. You responded to Kenneth Owusu-Afriyie. But Slimzay came in with his explanation, that took a whole page, but he said absolutely nothing.

I'm writing here because I know that the story yesterday is old, and you may not go there to read it.

Can you helepi me (sorry, I mean help me) to educate our people about religion? Our people are practising religion in an entirely different way.
All the countries have God on their sides, not Ghana alone!!!
It is time Ghanaians in particular know how to practise their various religions as laid down by God!!!

The other day, I read about common cholera having killed dozens in Ghana. On that morning in a crowded train, a Ghanaian was holding a bible and preaching in a loud voice... God said this, God said that... read Matthew chapter this, chapter that. Meanwhile he has not read in the morning papers that common (let me repeat, COMMON) cholera has killed scores in his country!!! Everybody in the train was laughing at him scornfully.

How can you come to someone's country and be telling him about God when dozens are dying by common cholera and your country is filled with corruption to its bone marrow? Is that how religion is practised?

To prove their ignorance, they will come out now with their comments that I don't believe in God.

Brother I ask that you pray before reading 2Cor.2:14-16
and when the spirit enable one to preach at a particular place, it does not matter where he comes from or what is happening there. May God have mercy on you.

There are a lot of whitemen and great scientists who worship God. Without God's grace, Slimzay, you are living-dead.

Here is my prediction of the squad and the formation Portugal U-20 Coach, Edgar Borges, will use to face Ghana. It wouldn't be that different from the squad he used against Nigeria except the formation.

Goalkeeper:
Jose Sa

Defenders:
Joao Cancelo
Tiago Ferreira
Mica
Edgar or Tiago Ilori

Midfielders:
Joao Mario
Ricardo Alves
Andre Gomes or To Ze

Forward:
Bruma
Richardo
Aladje

If I were in Coach Borges' shoes, I would love to pull a fast one on Coach Appiah by applying a 4:3:3 formation to get early 2 goals since Ghana U-20 usually doesn't start well at the beginning of their matches. After that convert the formation to a 4:3:1:2 formation for Bruma to become a Play Maker to serve the other two strikers and also to help the 3 original midfielders.

Now, this is a tip for Sellas Tetteh. If he solely concentrate on FC Aprillia's striker, Aladje, whom is not as slippery as both Ricardo and Bruma, this coming Wednesday would end our dreams in moving forward. Remember, Egypt will not be there to help us anymore.

How can we capitalized this 4-3-3 formation? Simple but not easy. Use the 4-4-2 formation to begin the match. This would solidify our midfield and would allow us to keep more possession in the midfield than the opponent. With this formation too, our midfielders wouldn't get tired quickly like it happened in the match against France. France took advantage of our lack of stamina and by applying our 4-4-2 formation against Portugal's 4-3-3 formation, Portugal will be the ones to chase the balls but not us. Finally, this formation will help us to defend better and as well use our defense into attacking in a heart beat through counter attacks.

Oh, keep the balls on the ground for the opponent has height. After the team is settled, then we could convert a 4-4-2 diamond formation into a 4-3-3 formation during attacking. After two goals advantage, frustrate Portugal with a 4-5-1 formation by taking out a striker and bringing in another midfielder.

This is what I see, Sir. Sellas. First match almost messed things up for us. It didn't go well for us. There is no more time for experiments. We believe in you and so don't let us down. Go with your best.

COACH TETTEH LACKS ATTENTION TO DETAIL LIKE A TAILOR
COMPLACENCY IS OUR ENEMY! SLOPPY DEFENDING
THE PORTUGUESE NEVER LOST ANY GROUP GAMES, BUT THEY ALLOWED GOALS AGAINST NAIJA AND DREW WITH SOUTH KOREA. GH MUST PLAY BREAK, CONTROL AND PASS BALL. 2 OR 3 TOUCHES, MAX!
GH STRIKERS:
THE WINGERS MUST DRIBBLE THE BALL INTO THE PORTUGUESE 18. SHOOT OR PASS THE BALL TO THE 9 OR 10 TO SHOOT. ONLY SIMPLE 1 TOUCH PASSES REQUIRED IN THE 18.

GH DEFENCE:
WE NEED DUNCAN, BABA N LARTEY TO DROP BACK. THE PORTUGEUSE HAVE TALL STRIKERS. WE NEED DEFENDERS WHO CAN GO UP IN THE AIR AND CHALLENGE FOR BALLS. LARTEY, NO MORE BALL WATCHING PLS. KEEP THE PORTUGUESE AWAY FROM THE GH 189. I CANT STRESS THIS ENUFF. IF U ALLOW THEM IN THE GH 18, WE ARE DEAD. I DONT CARE IF YOU FOUL THEM OUTSIDE THE BOX. DONT ALLOW THEM INTO OUR 18 AT ALL....

GH MIDFIELDERS
WIN TACKLES, CLAIM THE BALL. JUST NEUTRALIZE THE PORTUGUESE CAPTAIN. HE IS THE SOUL IN THE MIDFIELD

IF COACH BORBOR CAN GET THE BOYS TO DO THIS. GH WILL WIN. THE PORK N CHEESE ARE GOOD TECHNICALLY
Today, the main detail behind France’s 3-1 victory against Ghana at the FIFA U-20 World Cup Turkey 2013 went by the name of Geoffrey Kondogbia.
“Our playing style is based around player movement, 2 touch passing, always looking for the man in space and trying to work the flanks,” he explained.
“That’s our footballing philosophy and, because I’ve got a very good understanding with Yaya [Sanogo], I didn’t hesitate to play the ball through to him first-time.”

MAKE SURE YOU TRAIN THE BOYS UNDER LESS LIGHT CONDITIONS.
IF THE PLAYERS CAN CONVERT PENALTY KICKS, FREE KICKS, CORNER CROSSES, SET PIECES, MAKING INROADS INTO THE 18 YARD BOX, CLINICAL $TRIKERS ETC IN THE DARK.
THEY WILL BE EVEN BETTER IN THEIR EXECUTION IN THE DAYLIGHT. THIS IS HOW NEGRO BASEBALL PLAYERS, BARRY BONDS, MICHAEL JORDAN, KOBE BRYANT ETC TRAIN. WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON,
THEY SEE MUCH CLEARER. THEY CAN EVEN HIT HOME RUNS, AND MAKE BASKETS WITH THEIR EYES CLOSED.
COACH BORBOR, TRAIN THE PLAYERS TO PLAY 2, 3 TOUCH SOCCER. BREAK, CONTROL N PASS, BREAK AND PASS...
THIS IS WHAT THE PLAYERS MUST BE DOING. HOLDING UNTO THE BALL, MORE THAN 3 TOUCHES IS DETRIMENTAL TO SUCCESS

COACH TETTEH SIMPLY NEEDS TO PSYCHE THEIR CONFIDENCE N GET THEM TO PRACTICE 1, 2 TOUCHES IN THE 18 YARD BOX. NAIJA WERE VERY CLOSE IN BEATING PORTUGAL. GH CAN BEAT PORTUGAL...

Ghana boys have to sometimes use these format: 4- 3 - 3 which means that, four players will be defending, three will work at the either left or right sides for other 3 at the other sides. let me explain more: as 3 players are sending the ball at the left side, the other 3 players ate the right side will be also moving forward. So if the opponent focus on the left side then, the players at the left side has to hand over to the 3 guys at the right for them to also move the ball forward using the right wing.

Our squad seems to have gotten better as the tournament progressed, so I hope nobody is under-estimating the Satellites. I am confident we will beat Portugal on Wednesday, make it to the finals and can win it all. I wish the boys luck and pray they do not get complacent, I also hope they are studying their opponents, Portugal, to be better prepared for Wednesday. We are capable and yes, we can do it. Go Satellites, Go Ghana.

FOREGT ABOUT WHAT I DID TO YOU GUYS IN SOUTH AFRICA BUT I CAN SAY GHANA HAS MORE CONFIDENCE NOW THAN THEY STARTED THE TOURNAMENT. EVERY TEAM IS IN TO BEAT GHANA BECAUSE YOU ARE FORMER WORLD CHAMPIONS. DEFEND WELL AND KEEP THE BALL OUTSIDE THE 18 YARD BOX. WHEN YOU DO COUNTER ATTACK MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST THREE DEFENDERS TO KEEP YOUR BACK. I WISH YOU WELL. LOUIS SUAREZ
