Appiah claiming winning against Korea is not a priority is a completely nonsense. If you can't win friendlies, you can't win major events and that is simple.

Mr. Major, there is no need to rush and expect too much from this Korean game. Only 8 days and we are at war front, why push our generals to extend.

Massa, even if you put 11 monkeys on the field, with you as the coach. You should expect nothing but a win! Stop making dissertations on the strength of ur players, assessing a team etc. This is why you do your research on your opponent before you play them. AA, it is not in your best interest to be giving excuses. South Korea style is similar to usa. Therefore, what you must do against korea is this. Play a combination of 442 and 433(counter).

Vs usa
The USA team plays similar style like germany but not as skillful.
Their attack is built around the wingers. The play 2,3 touches in the buildup, and as they get closer
To their opponents 18 area. Switch to 1 touch. So only the wingers do the running and manouevering on the wings. This is meant to draw out the defenders from the 18.
The USA are coming to run for 90minutes. Lure the gh defence out and hit gh thru the middle with longshots outside the 18. Or pass the ball into the 18, serially or on the ground.
Solution:
Gh must switch between the 433(counter attack) and 442(open) to confuse and frustrate usa.
The gh left and right backs must remain compact. Make sure not to be lured outside by the usa wingers. Against naija, the usa right winger lured the leftback defender outside and passed the ball into another usa player inside the 18. Gh left and right backs don't be fooled.stay compact in defence and trust each other, COMMUNICATE! PLAY ZONE DEFENCE..
The gh back 4 must be composed and compact, and use zone defending to keep usa out of the 18.
The 4,5,6 must be rabiu/mensah sumaila, acquah, must defend aerial balls and be disciplined in keeping usa out of the 18.
SIMPLICITY, 1touch in attack is key to scoring goals!

3 days b4 the start of the WC and Ghana has still not played a friendly with its first team. Really? Asamoah Gyan, Sulley and others have not kicked a single ball while the US have played 3 friendlies in the last 10days and are already in Brazil fine tuning the team. African preparation. Tweaaaaa. when you see mistakes against Korea, what other match are you going to use to make sure the players have adapted to your plan? There should have been a second match before the one against Korea to fine tune our game plan, but I am sure people will disagree. U dont go into a world cup with shady preparation or fear of injuries. Kwesi Appiah's first mistake - not enough friendlies.

A draw game score line could be 1 - 1, 2 - 2, 3 - 3 etc. So FIFA will consider total goals scored by each team first to declare who qualifies, if that doesn't work, they'll check total goals against. I'm yet to delve into anything after that but certainly no alphabetical order qualification. There could be penalty kicks and tossing of coins as done in the past but I won't confirm that for this tournament since I've not looked it up. Give me time today and I'll dig it up from FIFA's website.

If goals scored are the same, then goals scored against will also be the same ie if all matches ended up in a draw. The final decider as you rightly said is the toss of a coin. Alphabetical order is not found in FIFA rules.

Yes I agree that boosting one's confidence is always good but at the same time I would say that confidence should be a naturally part of everyone. It is like purchasing beauty from a beauty shop simply because you feel you are not either handsome or beautiful. To be frank, at this stage what matters is maintenance of resistance(stamina), ability, skills and confidence to win every single match we have ahead of us. So many people have injured and as a prudent nation, we must move cautiously when playing any friendlies and either minimize/ avoid injuries intelligently. Brutal force and imprudence will not work at this time so Team Ghana please move strategically. The players are experienced enough to know what to do on the field with technical guidance from the coach. Believe in your selves and will see a positive results

The difference as I see it is that the younger players are still adapting to the top tier international game. Jordan, Atsu, Adomah, Rabiu, Schlupp (not headed to Brazil but still), and Acquah are the reason Ghana is the youngest team at the World Cup. They are not all going to be on the pitch at the same time one week from now. With the likes of Gyan, Muntari, KCP, Kwadwo, Dede, and Essien, I expect their experience and chemistry to shine through. The nerves won't have them looking for perfection, and allow them to simply play. The younger players who get mixed in will benefit from being asked to fit in as opposed to leading. This is why the Zambia and Egypt games looked so good.

The Korean's are relatively new to world football but nonetheless, they have an experienced team with some experienced players and their game is influenced by their cultural sense...quick pace, controlled aggression and adventure....but they have motivation to kill you off if you underrate them or allow them possession for far too long. Generally their players don't have a height advantage but they are solid. They Always play to instructions at a constant tempo with rhythm but like a shark, they can smell blood. In addition, they support each other on the pitch, passing tidy but their team always crack under powerful attack.

For Ghana, under no circumstances should we allow them more than 5 minutes possession. Its important to keep our attack powerful and stylish. In defending, we need to aim for their weakness that is they are not world class. So we should keep an eye on them and use our world-class maturity and anticipation to break down their passing. The game is Ours

I really don't get it why the black stars have to pratice in the USA. This is very stupid decision whoever made it. You are going into a battle and you send your army to the backyard of your enemy to go and pratice. what kind of logic is this? Why can't we pratice in Tamale? if the weather is the excuse. what is difference of the weather in Brazil and Tamale? These Ghana sports adminitrators just want to come to the US to have fun, because that weather reason don't make any sense. If Ghana lose to the US they should kiss Brazil good bye. Nonsense.
