If you Germans would recall,it took a long range shot,that could prevail against the Ghanaian goalkeeper,after a failed and failed formation.
Ghana's defence,proved impervious for the German forwards,hence,the later went for the lone trick,they had:
A LONG RANGE SHOT.
This is an entirely different team and under a different coach,therefore,the whole game would be a different one.
GHANA WILL BEAT GERMANY,HANDS DOWN.

The last whistle,normally decides the winner,therefore let's wait and see,if the GERMANS WOULDN'T GO HOME CRYING,AFTER GHANA HAS BEATEN THEM.
GERMANY HAS TO PAY BACK,WHAT THEY STOLE FROM THE BLACK STARS.

The Germans can live off on their history with chest beating into the future. But I assure them that they will meet a stronger Ghana on the corner and they'd wish they hadn't met us

Haaaaa see Rasheed. At least, Appiah has created or developed a game plan and what have you created or done for mankind to see? With this same "Onyame boame soccer", he's been awarded a doctorate. 2 years ago, he was making a mere $3K a month, now he makes $20K a month, can you achieve that in 2 years? The more you talk, the more he goes up in life. His salary is being or has already been raised. Tweaaaaa, is he you co-equal? Ghana can be beaten like the days of Dr. Congo at the W/C and Appiah will still be there. "Onyame boame brand of soccer" will be showcased on the worlds television for the whole world to watch it live. You'll see it thriving against the likes of Germany, USA, Portugal and more come this very June. You'll watch Appiah speaks to the press with lots and lots of cameras focusing on him. That's the power of the brand he's created, what you call "Onyame boame soccer". His name is Dr. James Akwasi Appiah, Ghana's soccer head coach, a well behaved and a nice gentleman, love him or hate him. Over to you Rasheed. Lol

Here is how:
1. Set goals
2. Establish requirements
3. Create plans and results
4. Execute one plan and a time
5. Compare current result with plan
6. If match, repeat #4 until finished
7. Otherwise change #1, #2, or #3

It is okay for some old git to come up and make unguarded and baseless statements like this. Why dont we wait to see what happens on the day? Beckenbauer is not going to kick a ball is he? Germany only beat us in our last encounter due to the fact that our boys then lacked big game exposure/experience. We have a much stronger team now with a lot of big game experience. On the contrary, this German team is the weakest I have seen in ten years. He should worry about the chances of his team. I sincerely think we will beat Germany and the USA and probably draw with Portugal.

Geologically, the land of Brazil came from the the land of Ghana. So the Germans should think twice. Ghana will play the match like they're defending their land. The Germans will wish they hadn't played us

And to think that he is the manager of the USA team and making such idiotic statements, just amazes me. I would support a call to fire him now because those defeatist statements only go a long way to demoralize/hurt the team he is handling

Of course the greater pressure is on Germany to qualify or even top the group and they are already feeling it. And this is where Ghana can spring a surprise. But this depends on how good our preparations shall be. We have better players than 2010 and we can shock the world. First Kwesi Appiah must be bold and take full charge without allowing anyone (player or official to intimidate him. For instance, we can match the Germans if we field fit players who can run for 90 minutes.
