When did the language evolve from "AGREED TO" to just "AGREED"?
Has there been any revolution, or some kind of generally-accepted evolution, that I missed?
When did "QUALIFY FOR" (e.g., the World Cup) become "QUALIFY TO", to such an extent that even the President of the FA, a lawyer, says "QUALIFY TO"?
When did "FOCUSED" become "FOCUSSED" that is so often used by our journalists?
Some words go with certain prepositions, so what's going on?

GFA's extension of the coach's performance is a little premature. the world cup is the biggest sporting stage for soccer and represents a great test to see if appiah may be considered a world class coach. they should have waited to see how he performs on the biggest stage first.
I think appiah has also made a mistake in agreeing to the extension. if he makes it past group stage to the quarters and hypothetically past the quarters his value will shoot up tremendously with possible moves to other national sides who will be willing to pay him even more.

"I think appiah has also made a mistake in agreeing to the extension".
African leaders at EVERY LEVEL are so stupid that, I can assure you: There will be no respect for the terms of the contract if Appiah's value were to go up after the Cup.
Nyantakyi will go and match or even exceed those national sides' offers, without feeling any obligation to stick to the agreed-upon amount pre-Cup.
In sum, the renewed contract will be expunged and replaced if Appiah does well in Brazil.
In Africa, contracts don't mean a thing; it's the embedded stomach-interest benefits that drive decisions.
Reatain my comment and see what happens after Brazil: They will either pay him a judgement debt for terminating the contract for a poor show, or replace the renewed contract with a fatter amount for a great show.

ADVICE FOR AA
AFCON MULTIPLIED BY 3 IS WAT U WILL FACE IN BRASIL. SO U BETTER SIT UP N THINK OF STRATEGIES FOR EACH TEAM LIKE A CAT.
MY ONLY ADVICE TO YOU IS THIS...
DISCIPLINE AND DIGNITY IN EVERYTHING!
1.TRAIN THE GH PLAYERS TO MOVE WITHOUT THE BALL. THEY R SO LAZY THEY ENJOY STANDING, WATCHING N WAITING FOR BALL.
THIS IS WHY GERMANY/OZIL BEAT GH 1 NIL BECOS THE GH DEFENCE WERE BALL WATCHING N OLELE WAS WATCHING THE GERMAN PLAYERS,INSTEAD OF THE BALL....LOL
2.WATCH BARCELONA FC. EACH TIME A BARCA PLAYER GETS THE BALL.U SEE 2 BARCA PLAYERS AROUND HIM IN A TRIANGLE SHAPE.
AA, JUST WATCH N YOU WILL SEE THIS STYLE IN THEIR MIDS AND STRIKERS. BY ADOPTING THE TRIANGULAR STYLE. U CAN DEFEND, ATTACK N EVEN REPOSSESS THE BALL WHEN YOU LOSE IT.
3.THE PLAYERS MUST TRAIN AT DAWN/NITE TIME WITH LESS LIGHT.
THEY MUST WORK ON FREEKICKS, SET PIECES, PENALTIES, CORNERKICKS, GETTING THE BALL INTO THE 18..... ETC..
IF THEY CAN CONVERT SUCH PLAYS IN THE DARK. THEIR SUCCESS RATE IN CONVERTING THESE IN THE DAYTIME WILL BE MUCH HIGHER
4.2/3 TOUCHES EACH. BREAK, CONTROL PASS
ONLY THE #10 AND #8 ARE ALLOWED TO DRIBBLE THE BALL
5.GOALIES MUST WATCH THE DAMN BALL AT ALL TIMES. U ARE NOT CATCHING PLAYERS, BUT THE BALL. SO WATCH THE DAMN BALL!
6.Start ur subs over ur starters to get a more balanced, DEPTH, CONFIDENT team.
AA MUST START ADAMS, NKUM, SCHLUPP, ACQUAH, ADOMAH, ACCAM,WAKASSO, JORDAN IN THE GAME VS THE DUTCH. THIS IS NO TIME TO BABYSIT. JUST THROW THEM IN THE FIRE BECOS THE WCUP WONT BE FAVORING ANYONE.
against the dream team, wesaw how inefficient accam, wakasso and boye were. u see, i wasnt bullshitting when i said they werent battle tested.
if you think im lying, start them vs the dutch n you will see...
in a 38 european calendar season, these players have playedless that 70percent for their clubs and dont deserve to go to a wcup in my opinion.
nkum..15games (drop him n bring in adusei)
boye...10games(drop him n bring in adusei)
jordan...less than 20 n still couldnt help his club escape relegation
wakaso...less than 10games
accam...less than 10 games thisseason. hasnt even played a full season in the swedish top flight to prove his abilities. these players are clearly not battle tested...
7. mental conditioning/confidence building and lifting weights is crucial in this tournamnt. the gfa should bring in jnr agogo to help the boys lift metal.
bring in a proven psychologist to constantly instill confidence in these players.
SUPERSTITIOUS AA!
He seems timid, embodies fear. He has inferiority complex and believes in things he doesn't even understand....recipe for destruction.
U want to play akaminko as rigHt back? Have u seen him play as a right back for his club all season? Kasa is a better leftwinger than dede. Use dede in the middle instead.
