Anyway, I don't know where Papa Appiah slept last night but I suspect my sister gave him a very good treat.
I think he came very balanced this time round and I love it. He, as he always do proved to all that he doesn't like Appiah not for hatred but for tactical and technical weakness sake. Well, most of us knew Appiah wasn't all that when he first took the job but we willingly backed him because he wasn't too far away from his predecessors. Now he's come a very long way, there's still room for improvement but I'll suggest we let him go all out. We've taken a very bold step and we have to finish it. The end result will be great putting much confidence in other up and coming local coaches to learn to do better. Appiah must stay on and to hell with a foreign technical director. Go Ghana Go.

"Most of our wins have been on shear skills of the players and the lack thereof from the other teams." (Wise man)
What a distorting comment indeed! Even a win for our national coach was just a mere "Luck" haaa I daf.f But a lose was for him, right. Well, it is true that a good man is never honoured in his own country. What can I say then, time will tell.
"he will be exposed when we meet an equally skillful team of players. hope I am wrong." (W.M)
Absolutely big "wrong" on the assumption brother. Do you think U.S.A Bradley & the big mouth Renard teams were unskillful? You better think twice and wake up from your soccer believes because by the time that you would be awaken, Ghana Black Star maybe in the Semi haaa you made me daff again.
Man, we are going to Brazil with what we have and that is coach MRAA, period!

Give us a break, football on the world cup level is more scientific and requires football analyst and a very good technical bench.

Who and what is "Better Coach" Is coach Herve Renard of Zambian and U.S.A Bradley better than coach MRAA? If that was so then give the reasons. This is not the time to cause division and distraction for our own.

YOUR QUOTE: "I strongly believe some of our countrymen are confusing the role of the technical director."
Papa, that is what happens when humans like us, created by the Almighty, believe they are not worthy of thinking for themselves but, wait on other humans to think for them in every aspect of their lives..........
The results are to ape the way of life of those they mimic in their quest and hope to be like them, with FAILURE written all over them.
It's a shame how our colonized minds can't seem to be emancipated to do things OUR OWN way and even achieve better than the other humans we try to copy without the basic understanding of how they got there.
My point is.......the GFA is doing all it can to bring in a foreign person in the fold.......even though we can WIN the world cup, if we put OUR MINDS to it. But let me also caution the Black Stars that it's not over yet....with Egypt.
GOD BLESS GHANA!

Those advocating for a Technical Director for the Black Stars, have inferiority complex. They have are yet to believe that we black people are not capable of achieving anything without the help of the "Pink Skin man" and that is a testament of how stupid and foolish we are.
Coach Appiah is doing a wonderful job so why trying to confuse him while he has to clear a hurdle before Brazil? Look, Egypt is not out yet and we have to focus all our attention on that match because football is a game with unpredictable results. Who thought we could defeat Egypt with that number of goals?

Joe, we're not using local players because the good ones always run to foreign teams for better money. Our players are all Ghanaians and that's the requirement per FIFA rules. For coaching there's no such rules from FIFA but we are deciding that enough is enough with foreign coaches. It's time we trust in our own and push them to the top. It's not about inferiority or superiority complex, the evidence is clear that it has taken only Ghanaian coaches to get Ghana the cups she's won apart from one U-17 trophy. This brings the notion that our local coaches aren't bad and we need to back them up to the later. The time has come and now is so take your foreign coaches out of our local coaches. Lol

A Ghanaian coach and technical team can win honours for Ghana.....just as has been proven in the past with C.K. Gyamfi, Osam Doudu and Sellas Tetteh for the under 20s and many more others. Non of them had a foreign coach or director or whatever crap with them.

football of late is not about black man or white man. Every country"s desires is to win the cup and in their persuit of a win, colour mostly plays no part. If Appiah desires to take us there, no problem but he should ask for help. Especially a good football analyst who can help Ghana to scientifically study the game of our future oppornents.

They seem to understand how to use our talented players, yes you were right on that, BUT COACH MRAA also knows how to use the talented players to break the "One Goal" project the Serbian established in our national team.
Calling for a new coach at this juncture is typical suicidal and also detrimental for our local coach who has won 6-1 victory on the first leg. No Serbian or any expatriate is going to be invited even to wipe the shoes of the players, we are going to Brazil with Coach MRAA and his technical team who has got us to this far, period!
