    Captain Gyan have confidence in yourselves. As the saying goes what you speak is what you get. Don't limit your achievement. Aim for the cup together with hard work and those are the words you should declare.

  • Kay 12 years ago

    Knock out Gyan, are you serious? Come again please don't be shortsighted. Ghana has gone beyond that. Such words should not come out of your mouth.

  • HOVAH 12 years ago

    y'all need to wake the fuck up and face reality. its a wrap for gh. we aint going no where. you saw the draw. we are fuck

  • Nii Oshiki 12 years ago

    Child, never accept defeat before you go into battle. Lesson number one in life.

  • Ekumfi Akyen-Obamaland 12 years ago

    Shame on you,HOVAH. Cowards such as you do'die many times even before their death'
    You are cowering simply because Ghana has been drawn with Germany,Portugal and the U.S.A
    You sound as if you don't have 'balls' in-betwee ...

    It's only in Ghana we can get this kind of nonsensical pessimism from people like you. For once, Ghanaians should show pride and patriotism towards their national team, but you're showing your true ridiculous colours. What's ...

  • Skains 12 years ago

    What isn't realistic about what I said? I share your points, but, then, for some Ghanaians to say the Black Stars won't reach anywhere isn't only appalling but lacking in sense. You and I know that there is much work to be d ...

  • Rasheed@Nyame Boa yen 12 years ago

    Appiah certainly needs help to put the team in good shape.Our last agame against Egypt was bad.Some of our players are fading out.Essien is one of them.

  • POW@ Group G for the G's 12 years ago

    The field will decide, that's true but we don't any help at the coaching department. Even if Appiah fails, we'll still come back home and work harder for 2018. If we keep scaring ourselves, we'll never be our own men. The Ivo ...

  • POW@ Group G for the G's 12 years ago

    I don't need to be in Ghana alone to help build the nation. We are far away so it got to be a step at a time. Convincing you that Appiah can do it is part of the job. This is a typical example of how far we are as a nation. E ...

    This is very simple. Chance of Ghana beating USA is probably about 70%. Ghana has a 50% chance of getting draws from Germany and Portugal. Assuming one win and two draws, they can go to the next round. I personally think ...

    In fact you really understand soccer.It pains me that some Ghanaians are not facing the reality.Appiah is just experimenting with black stars and some people don't seem to get it.

  • POW@ GHFUO is a damn liar 12 years ago

    Vorsah still has some weeks of recuperation while Jonathan Mensah and Boye just got back from injury.

  • Harrison 12 years ago

    We all said this over and over! AA needs help. The Cairo match said it all. The midfield was leaking and the defence was not compact. AA needs help to blend the talented BS players together.

    AKWASI APPAIH SHOULD NOT DO SILLY SELECTION WITH HIS DARLING BOY AFFUL POSITION HIM IN LEFT OR RIGHT BACK. THE REST IS OK

  • anokwale 12 years ago

    At this point, it is all about the spirit of the players on the given day. This is very simple. We scored two goals a game, we will find a way through. Quite simple.
