The man makes $20K a month aside his bonuses, he travels around the world back and forth while you're stuck at some McDonalds fast food store some where making $7 an hour which puts you at $14k a year. Besides, you run into hiding even at the sound of any police siren per chance you might be caught and deported. Tell me which of you two is a waste of space?

May be your mother never told you but it is said that "by the time ashantis will know that a cat's aka Joseph's meat is very delicious, eve's might have finished it.

How do you know this guy works at McDonalds fast food store by the way they do not call it fast food store the call it fast food chain. For all you know moyo is sitting in his village and comes to town once every two months if moyo was working at McDonalds and making $14K a year he is making more money than all the fine fine ladies with 45" high heels working in the banks in Ghana and most of the buy and sell people in Ghana terms and moyo' village moyo is rich.

No, Brother N, a single outlet is the STORE.

A series of stores (the whole company, the whole corporation, the conglomerate) is the CHAIN.

Just as a jewelry chain is a series of interlocking rings, a food chain is a series of related stores.

So CHAIN is NOT a substitute for STORE as you said.

So when you hear someone referring to the CHAIN, he is NOT referring to a single STORE; he is referring to the CORPORATION.

Rankings or no rankings Akwasi Appiah is the one taking us (Ghanaians) to the World Cup in Brazil. Eyes will be watching you Akwasi so concentrate on the task ahead and try to go beyond the achievements in 2006 and 2010.

It is high time you stopped these your comparison of other people's income with that of Appiah."No one knows tomorrow". Yes, moyo may be making 14k a year, but may end up in his life making more money than Appiah makes.Some years back Appiah too was not making the money he is now making, so a word to the "west" is the in the "north"Lol.

Foolishness! Let the coach of Montenegro talk, not us? Looks in your comments like winning the world cup is not even in your dreams? Don't you want to see some success? Yes it's good to reward success, but some of us are just too shallow. Can we think bigger and stop this laughable bullshit.. Why can't we be like the Germans who want to win the cup? Even if AA were voted best coach in the world on what basis would it be? This is not a hater's comment. Any guy can assemble world class Ghanaian footballers and qualify for the world cup. Stephen Keshi quite deserves a thumbs up for winning CAF and still moving. As for AA we are yet to see. So please spare us this moment with your nonsense.

There seems to be no meaning to FIFA's ranking of coaches and soccer nations. The rankings go beyond reason but finds reason in domains of bribery, deception, promotion, favoratism and sheer lack of good measures of soccer performance.

There are more tricky events in the world of soccer:

(1) Jose Mourihno the Portuguese coach of Chealsea will not play Ashley Cole. This makes it hard for the England coach Hodgson to assess Cole's fitness and skills for Brazil. Cole may loose his spot on the team.

(2)Orlando Pirates of South Africa will not play Ghana's Fatawu Dauda but relegates him to join the bench-warmers. Appiah says Dauda remains number one?

(3) Queen's Park Rangers's coach regards Brazil's number 1 keeper Julio Cesar as the number 3 goal-keeper in that lowly placed team. He will not play him. Just like that.

(4)The Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger has Germany's attacking midfielder Mesut Ozil and striker Podolski in his team. but Wenger will not play them regularly. When he does, he lets Ozil do dirty work in a different soccer position. This gives headache to Joachim Low, the German commander. Remember Ozil scored 8 goals in 10 friendly and qualifying games for Germany.

Thus there is no team in the world that has all the troops ready for the Brazil showdown. Brazil may be the only team getting closer to battle readiness after one thousand and one experiments. Still they have not got any one to replace free-kick expert Roberto Carlos, nor left winger Rivaldo nor ace striker Ronaldo nor the talismanic playmaker-goal-scorer Ronaldinho. Ghana Black Stars are also getting closer to battle readiness but are not yet there. We need the soccer formations, physical fitness, ability to hold the ball, ability to contain dangerous opponent strikers without incurring a penalty, ability to play with 10 or less men, ability to score on any penalty shot, ability to remain composed and return fire if we are down in a match and finally the ability to conquer all teams from the four corners ot the world.

FORWARD EVER BACKWARD NEVER GREAT AND BEAUTIFULL GHANA.

The battlefield decides who is the greatest commander. Appiah is better than Brazillian Scolari? Great! Congratulations "Silent Killer" James Appiah. From Now On Time Will Fly. Get the Troops ready. This is going to be Winner-Takes-All, do or die, duel with the best teams from the four corners of the world.

The summary of the rankings of the field commanders in the Group G of Death are as follows:
Joachim Low #2
Jurgen Klinsmann #6
Paolo Gomez #7
"Silent Killer" James Appiah #42

These rankings will be turned topsy-turvy after the WC2014 soccer duels in the Amazon. "No Need For No Worry"

What nonsense is this?? Who eats or drinks artificial rankings????

We just want to win matches and most importantly, trophies. So work at that and get to work now. Don't expect to ride on the back of the player's performance and achievements. Even my grand mum can do that.

A good coach comes in handy when things are tough and goes beyond the ability of the players. He device a strategy that gets the team a result. We will see your true abilities when things get tough for us.

Akwasi Appiah 42nd best coach in the world
