    Nancy, Are we going to the games, at least to see how Kwarassey takes over from the frustrated Dauda?
    How about intercessory prayer taken over from dirty work?

    Our league is shown live on Dstv,and those players who are good win foreign contracts.Some of the locals are good but only use in playing before empty stadiums.The world cup is not for triers only but tried and tested

  • Asempah 9 years ago

    What useless article is this? Just writing something to absolve yourself Mr. Papa Appiah after all your scorn of Coach Appiah? You can run but you can't hide from the fact that you hate Akans, Ashantis especially.

    Kofi, go back and read the things that Papa Appiah writes. The guy has brains but fails to reason and it is all because of tribal hatred he harbors. I want him to know that I know who he is. He says he is sorry but the questi ...

    THE AUTHOR MISSES THE POINT, WE GO TO BRAZIL TO WIN IT!!! I DISAGREE WITH THE AUTHOR THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO WIN THE WORLD CUP!!

  • Kenneth Osei-Afriyie 9 years ago

    Mr Appiah I don't know what you mean by inexperience. If I am right, inexperience means being very new to a new situation and thus having little or no opportunity to demonstrate your abilities. But you have to remember your n ...

    "And so must do what is right, first and foremost not to be afraid to pick the right players in the interest of Ghana." ***Keneto***

    Exactly! Ken.

    And for Papa Appiah, as the saying goes - abomination has no remedy.

  • Sarskoberta 9 years ago

    This other Appiah appear to have a considerable amount of what it takes to prescribe an antidote. However, he is seem colloquially suppressed.
