In 1990, Roger Milla was 36 years old. At the World Cup, he was used mainly as a substitute, coming off the bench to settle the Comeroonian team down when needed. His role proved pivotal to his team's performance. Essien and Muntari can be very effective if their strengths are utilised properly. They are vastly experienced, and can still be counted on to make major contributions. That is why I disagree with Karl Tuffuor's point of view.

Half fit Essien is far better than any defensive midfield at the moment. The name michael Essien alone can put pressure on opposing teams to do a lot of adjustment. And trust me my friend come Monday June 16 2014 . U will see a resurrected charging Bison ready to take control of his territory. On sulley muntari part he is the only one who can score critical goals when the going gets tough. muntari does not choke on the big stage. He doesn't vanish on games unlike kwadjo Asamoah. This is my winning squad Kwarasey, Opare, Asamoah, Boye, Jonathan Mensah, Essien, Dede, Aquah, Gyan, Boateng,Muntari.

All the Black Stars can do is give their absolute best, and let the chips fall where they may. If we don't progress beyond the group stage, we will be in good company, because there are some other excellent teams that won't.

I have always had doubts about the capability of Akwasi Appiah as a coach who will propel Ghana to make it to the second round of the WC like his predecessors. But after watching the friendly against Holland and the bias nature of the selection of the final squad, I have certainly lost all hopes that we will be able to maintain our record of qualifying from the group stage in Brazil. A foreign coach will certainly not have been afraid or would have had the sound knowledge of selecting young and vibrant players. This is ample evidence that Akwasi Appiah will not be up to task. I now understand why some Ghanaians believed we need a Technical Director. Surely, Ghana's record at the WC is in grave danger right now. A KOKOFU COACH WILL NEVER SUCCEED.

Carl, i agree with you 100%. Kwesi Appiah has no balls and didn't want to make unpopular decisions. Defenders are booked most often and hence never wise to go to a big tournament like the WC with 6 defenders instead of 8. The first mistake was leaving out Vorsah. He should have been there and used in all the friendlies to regain his form. The second is dropping another defender (Shlupp) when Akaminko had been injured already. The team lacks balance and i was expecting Adomah and Essien to be dropped. Essien especially since we have Afriyie Acquah, Rabiu and Agyemang-Badu.
Some way, i am not surprised because of what a friend at the FA told me prior to him naming his squad. He alleged that the FA always insists to pay the players in cash because the senior players who earn fat wages give most of the monies back to them. And who are these senior guys????

I couldn't have agreed with u more. One of the ace should have been drop. A. Appiah should have keep Schlup instead of keeping his nephew Albert Adomah all the time. Emmanuel frimpong should be in the squad too.

"Of this particular squad that he has named, I was going to look for some balance and regardless of the consequences, I would have taken Schlupp along. Reason being that I’ve only seen him at Leicester City and even that he was not playing frequently. But if you have a person like Harrison Afful who can equally play on the left and right, you could have found a place for him."

What is the intelligence in Karl's argument beats me. Looks like he just wanted his noise heard. Nonsense, gabbage, total hogwash!

I think the choice of players is the best sense Akwasi Appiah has ever made in his life. How he plays them is my worry. Whether he has any winning strategy and tactics firmly outlined for them to follow is above my guess - I can hardly trust his acumen there.

But KArl is a dumb idiot for his illogical argument. Shut up if you have nothing good to say.

It's simple. Akwasi Appiah should retain essien big instead of playing him in the center mid, he shoukd play him on the right full back and bench in loom and make way for dede on the right flank. Dede will help essien defend and also attack as a pair.

Sulley can hold the central mid with Kevin prince helping the two attack in crew Assmoah Gyan and warris as attacking mid. Kwadwo Asamoah and Harrison Afful will take charge of left forward and left back respectively. The john Boye and Jonathan M defends in the central spots.

This selection give coach many options for subs and if muntari is slow Afriyie Acquah of Agyemang badu awaits.

Wakaso and astu are options for the left and right flank as subs
