31 year old my ass. This guy has been married for the past 16 years and he is 31? This grandfather player is 49 years old and has no place in Blackstars. He might be the only man on earth who grows young.

It is not about what someone has offered Ghana. That is a childish question. Is Mensah too old. Can he play for Ghana?

Inwould like to see Mensah in brasil bjt I don't think he is injury free. He hasn't played in over 2yrs. The lasttime he played at afcon tournament, he was carried off the field. Why has he been away from the game for 2 yrs? Not becos of skills on the field, but bcos of his injuries. If john Mensah can't play a full 70minutes. Then please don't take him to brasil. We can't take senior citizens to to represent Ghana. I beg

Signing does not mean John is looking for a place in the Black Stars squad. He knows he's finished and has turn a new leaf. Give the youngsters a chance and forget about the Paintils' the Appiahs and the Kingsons.

Being attached to a club in March is too late to be considered for the team to Brazil. I hope Coach Appiah ignores this old man.

Don't worry about age. Brazil 2014 is not an age competition. The coach only has to assess his abilities as against other materials available. When he is selected, it will surely be on merit.

Why do you fools keep worrying about someone's age? How old was Roger Miller when he played for Cameroon in the World Cup?

You all should shut up. Ghana is not moving forward because of idiots like you. Mponkye.

ROGER WASNT RIDDLED WITH INJURIES LIKE JOHN MENSAH. ROGER WILLINGLY STOPPED PLAYING NOT DUE TO INJURIES. MENSAH STOPPED PLAYING COMPETITIVELY BCOS OF INJURIES. THATS THE DIFFERENCE

Why are you always addressing people as idiots, when you are the worst idiot. Can you compare John Mensah to Roger Miller?. Do you know the difference between a defender and attacker?. If you don't know, then go and ask Joe Addo (former black stars defender) why he quit soccer.

I don't care if he is an OAP as long as he proves he is fit; playing well and still has the experience, his leadership in organising the defence will come in handy for the Black Stars. Samuel Eto is 32; Didier Drogba 33; Michael Essien 31 going 32; Frank Lampard 32; to name but just a few of the over 30s who will be featuring in Brazil. Anyway the buck stops with Akwasi Appiah and his technical team. The rest of us are just making noise. For me I wish the Rock of Gibralta all the best and pray that the Almighty protect him from injury whilst helping him to succeed with his new club.

Yes I agree with you on your comments "so long as he proves he is fit, and playing well".The Etos, the Drobgas and co are 30 plus, but don't expert to much from them at that age. Most of them will be coming from the bench or ...

Yes I agree with you on your comments "so long as he proves he is fit, and playing well".The Etos, the Drobgas and co are 30 plus, but don't expert to much from them at that age. Most of them will be coming from the bench or may not the complete the 90 minutes. Why do you think Morinhou is complaining about Eto's performance these days?. Also, playing in the defense is not the same as an attacker. As a defender, the slightest mistake you make then you are in trouble. Please I hope you read why Joe Addo(a former black stars defender)retired from active soccer. He couldn't stand the speed of young Freddy Adu of US.

What's the difference between a defender and an attacker? If anything an attacker has to do more running around looking to evade markers and get into good scoring positions or running to different positions on the fields in order to confuse or entice defenders out of their positions and make space for team mates to exploit. I don't think you know what you are talking about. If anything forwards do more runnings than defenders. Rasheed I think you are still dazed and confused.
Rasheed. 10 years ago

I have played active soccer and my position is no 9,so I know what I am talking about. If you like ask any coach and he will explain it you. With the defender the slightest mistake is suicidal for you. Unlike the attacker.

Top striker Rasheed,perhaps you can let us know which club you played for and even more to the point how many goals you scored? By the way what do you mean by ACTIVE SOCCER?
