Come Brazil 2014. Ghanaians will be expecting to upset the big names in football. The know that and they will not be complacent about the game. The biggest problem is the Ghanaian and just like what happened in South Africa, I don't think Akwasi Appiah will fit the occasion. He still has the support of the Nyantakyi man so let us wait and see.

Blackman know how to steal, kill and destroy things. If we know how to manage things then Africa will not be like this. A continent with full of natural resources yet we cannot progress. We are like animals even some animals are better than some of us. If this is not true comment on that. Thank you all!

Abdulai Aboagye, thank you very much for the article you wrote. A very nice article indeed. My only prayer is that Ghana will first out-perform the other african and second Ghana will give africa its first semi-final birth. However having said this I would like to comment on some issues clearly pointed out. I am not in support of the white man in any way but lets face it. They are over hundred years ahead of us. We cannot feed our own selves. We won african cup of nations a record 4x then with a local coach [and when Accra sports stadium was re-named after him, the Gas were crying, and have [attempted] withdrawn the name], so the ability of the ghanaian is already known. Among africa we are known but some attitudes make it very impossible for us to move on. the first is mediocrity and complecancy, 2nd is stagnation; we get to a point and we think we have arrived. 3rd is PHD which is so endermic in our society and lastly lack of hard work.

Many were criticizing Appiah before Zambia and Egypt. Guess what happened?? We advanced. 2 wins and one loss. If that happens in Brazil...we move on to knock out stages. The end.

With all the honour,prestige you are ushering on EUROPEAN TEAMS,of having,they were no match in 200 WORLD CUP in SOUTH AFRICA.
Were they having coaches,when most of them were sent home earlier,whilst Ghana BLACK STARS was still in the game?
Please,let's try,once in our lifetime,to appreciate what God has made us to be,to have or can become.
I see KWESI APPIAH,right in that picture,which appears,rather oblivious to you.
TRY TO VALUE,APPRECIATE,CELEBRATE,NURTURE what you have been given.Because what you have been given(what you see) can bring what you have not seen,and what you been promised.
The conventional thinker always wants to see,before believing,but the spiritually discerning,believes before seeing.
GHANA,I BELIEVE,WILL PREVAIL OVER ALL THE SUPPOSED BIG NAMES IN FOOTBALL,YOU HAVE BEEN CHERISHING,THROUGHOUT YOU LIFETIME.
If we will stand in the liberty wherewith we have been offered,make our priorities/focus straight without any distraction,with good decision-making,without considering any other options,we will come up with the flying colours,to confound the wise and the prudent,to the shame of the devil,but to bring glory to God's Holy Name.
NO MATTER WHAT,I GO KWESI APPIAH & THE GHANA BLACK STARS,PERIOD.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and gratifying article, Mr. Aboagye. I wish all of us will think and behave like you. Ghanaians don't appreciate what we have. We always think the white people are better than us. My question is why then do we elect black people as President? If we think a local coach cannot manage the black stars then the local people cannot manage the entire nation. We must then look for a white president, white patliamentarians, and ministers to manage the country, period.
