World Cup is close by and everyone has set his PR Machine at top gear. We are going to be reading a whole lot of nonsense about this that, him that, was great and still great all for the world cup this is just the start.

Until the younger keepers prove they are better than Olele, I would support this writer 100%. Olele could be 45, but that is the more reason why Fatau especially, and Kwarassey should be impressive. Fatau so far has not proved he is a world class goalie when we are going to the world stage. Kwarassey is being made to sit on the bench, so what next?

Is all loud and clear that goalkeeper can still be despite their age however mistakes that he causes are too much that is why no top flight team wants him. I do believe he needs to see an eye doctor his problem is he does not see air balls and long shoot; he is very good with close range balls.
That is why he is not fit for world cup standard watch all the goals he conceded from wigan and last world cup.

Olele is old but do we have goal keeper in the national team. Dauda is sitting on a bench in South Africa not keeping poles for his team. If Adam is on duty in his team then he has to be in poles because Dauda connot sit on bench and think playing for the national team is there for him always. Adam should be giving the chance to keep the poles. However, Kevin Boateng should be dropped from the team. He was not there for friendly and qualifying series of the world cup until he saw that the Stars will qualify. Such a person is not needed in the national team, he is also not physically fit because of his cronic right knee injury and I think because of that he was booted out of AC Milan. Other players in the national team also need to sell their talent during the world cup that is why they were responding to national calls so only committed players should be invited to the world cup.

Thanks for your article - clear and simple people should get it, that players are only called if they can PERFORM….where performance is the set challenges embracing SKILL/AGILITY/DISCIPLINE/ AWARENESS/COMPETENCE etc….so it seems ridiculous how people make such gullible counter argument so poorly crafted literary - and spicing it up with INSULTS….I thought the GHANAIAN psyche is pretty matured all through cycles of revolution to think POSITIVE and agree to disagree RESPECTFULLY..O U G H ! apparently not.But the point is not to just leave it…PLEASE ENUA NOM ne ADOFO NOMM Lets not throw insults at each other when we all want the BEST for ALL.
It isn't like all the GOODS of old or past stars are being called back into the team…although you can make an argument for that …but there may be some performing spirit and enemies left in some that definitely could be used - look at Andreas Pirlo….??? He is still playing …perhaps he may not be in a match for the full 90 mins or perhaps one could be wrong depending on the situation of the game ..may be kept in for full match….so Please people lets just provide what we think and make constructive
CRITICISMS!! Lets REASON!!!

Ole you have to zip your mouth for us to decide weather to bring you back. You can take the 3rd slot but let us decide so you just train very hard.

Many Ghanaians don't feel quite comfortable with goal keeping in the star's set up yet they would not explore all the materials available to determine who actually deserves to wear the No. 1 jersey. Olele self confidence and self belief places him above the competition. We're not talking about an outfield player people, put the brakes on and think. at least give him the chance to prove himself

Someone knows his real age. If he was born in Ghana, he must have gone to school with other kids. Does anyone know him enough to tell how old he really is. Am not talking about goalkeeping skills, just how old he really is. He must have brothers or sisters, he did not fall out of the sky, did he?

I will be 43 in January 2014. So if Olele's mom waited two or three years before having him then Olele should be 39 or 40 years old.

Well, I want everyone to consider the following argument:
1. Cyprus and South Africa which nation plays the most conpetitive soccer,
2. Dauda and Olele who features most for their team. Remember in today's sports news Dauda is quoted as saying he wants a loan contract out of his team b'cos they have made him the third choice,
3. Dauda and Olele who has the most experience local, internatinal and world cup.
Much as I will like to have a young, agile keeper in our post it looks like Olele has scored 3 of 3 from the above and should be given the post.
That's my piece.

I think it is better for the Black Stars Coach to recall Mohammed Polo,Opoku Antey and Abedi Pele into national team.Kingson is about 52 yrs old. why Call him on national duty?
