A player I know will make it when given the opportunity has finally been called. Now I see my third goalkeeper in the fold. Watch out for him, POW.

it seems you have lost your respect up there.
i guess, abu still wishes coach akwasi appiah calls abedi pele, razak, polo, anthony yeboah and of course osei kofi.

Abu or whatever you call yourself, you better shut your mouth and know how to write your English. Your words are coming back to you cos you are a fake Ghanaian. Better leave Mr. AA to do his own thing.

If he fails this time there is nothing wrong because he has already proven himself good by qualifying Ghana. Your dreams will never come to reality, hater.

AA do you understand the game at all? How can exclude a player who is playing in the Spanish la liga and performing greatly in your team. If you care to know aa you including boakye yiadom in the world cup team will not make him fail in his football career kraaa. He's better than all your strikers in the squad. Stupid coach indeed

There are many talented players both in Ghana and abroad and although my favorite ones in the like of aboagye and asifuah didn't get a chance, I believe the selection in fair and let's support our team

Sensible Man, God has added 25 more years to what you have already been given. I don't know why some people talk like Ghana belongs to them. Ghana is blessed with talented soccer players and everyone has his favorite. The coach knows all these guys and has made his selection. It's our duty to pray and support his decision and see what will happen.World cup is for every team that has qualify so if your team get eliminated it is not a shame Ghanaians! OOOH GHANAFO)... Hmmm

We are jokers in GH. No serious coach will exclude boakye yiadom considering the tough opposition he's facing in the Spanish league.

Boakye Yiadom is growing. He was not able to prove himself in the U20 team.

Even though Boakye is doing really well right now, he was previously invited to the Black Stars and also had a chance to play for the Under 20, but he did not impress on those occasions. He was warming bench the whole time that Assifuah was playing. That's why maybe even Assifuah would get called ahead of Yiadom. Granted, Yiadom is playing in a tough league now, but he has had quite a few chances to prove himself in the past. To me, Yiadom, Assifuah, and Otoo are at about the same level, so it doesn't really matter who the coach calls. They will all end up on the bench as long as Gyan, Warris, and Boateng are fit and playing.

U don't use bstars call ups to show ur worth, but ur club. U20 was used to sell players by Tetteh and afriyie. Yiadom was already with Juve not dats why some good players played less. Yiadom was playing in bstars even before assifuah n otoo went overseas to play. It matters....U can't compare the teams, defence, strikers in late liga to swiss or Norway. I'm sorry send yiadom, messi, Ronaldo to Norway, swiss and they will score in bunches...10goals per game.

Mahatma should have been given the call up ahead of Jordan Ayew.

Jordan is a no, no, no!

The inclusion of Mahatma Otoo could be useful on the right wing, but given the absence of John Mensah and Isaac Vorsah, one would have thought warrant the calling/inclusion of Awal Mohammed on stand-by too.

These days, some teams are even at times playing with three center defenders. Hence, we can only hope that given the fast pace of modern football, we have top-notch defenders to take care of our defense.

Btw, Rashid and Awal Mohammed; what are their qualities and which one would you pick as your number one defender?

You want them to stay fit, but they cannot train with the team even before the team leaves?

What if you need them later?

The Coach has selected 26 players which he must trim to 23 for the World Cup. Common sense should tell him that the 3 players to be excluded will become the basis of his standby list. Why go and create another list of standby players? This means to get to the new list he's created, 4 players from the original list have to be injured? What are the odds? Another problem is the players on the second list will have no benefit of camping and training with the other players. If, however minute the odds, they are called, how are they going to fit in. How useful are they going to be.
A coach with brains and forward thinking will call upon 30 players and cut down to 23, leaving him 7 on standby. The advantage, these 7 will have had the benefit of training with the other players and can fit in immediately when called. Not our Coach. I won't be surprised if he has to called up a replacement player, he will select from his second list of standbys. That is the coach leading us to Brazil
