All those who have been criticizing Appiah now know that Appiah is better than Del Bosque. We have to go by their infantile analysis. Holland beat 1:0. Holland beat Spain 5:1. Therefore Appiah is far better than Del Bosque.

Some Ghanaian fans can talk shit,how is appiah better than del bosque fool and what does it matter.i believe anybody should be able to win the world cup with ghana.with our experience from the last two world cups,the quality of players we got,the ghanaian way of hunger and determination.that attitude of [obia nye obia]we shud be right at the top even with a shit coach,.
i give appiah the credit for presumably not taking bribes,which is the reason im against a local coach and i give him the credit so far for where the team is but managing players of that status and calibar is a job i think any ordinary coach can do,

"I believe anybody should be able to win the world cup with Ghana.... what the fuck have you been smoking? For close to fifty years we couldn't even make it to the world cup and this is our first attempt with a local coach and you are already taking things for granted?Some Ghanaians have very short memory and a rather unrealistic outlook.

unrealistic outlook,thats why you are still poor cos you dont believe in yourself.i think you are the one taking ghana for granted allotey,not me.winning a world cup is not about how long you've been to the world cup,if it was so,we shouldnt be able to beat the usa cos they have been going to the world cup since the 1930s and 50s.
I think im been more realistic,if you can be the best in africa,then you can be the best in the world.only reason ghana have never been in the world cup until 2006 is because it was only two places allocated to africa until then.
you prob havnt left your village before to know that,ghana is got the best enviroment and the best way for kids to practice the skills,it is the most commonest sports in the country aswel with every piece of land full of people on a sunday morning,
you dont find this anywhere in the world,certainly not europe.it wasnt coincident that we won the african cup 4 times,long time ago before anybody else until recently.it is not coincedent that we get a lot of followers every time we play because of our unique style,and cetainly not by accident we did so well in germany 2006 and south africa 2010.and just to refresh your memory,even thou brazil beat us 3-0 with the second goal an offside,we played better than them but lack of experience we were eliminated,.and we all know how really really close we were in south africa.
so you see,you dont have to smoke anything to know that lack of experience was the reason we were eliminated in the two previous world cups.and the reason why brazil have to be different is because we got that most needed experience added to our already talented team.
so you see mr allotey,we got everything to think about the big one,the ultimate,if not we shouldnt or wont be here.

Premature analysis.
Preparation matches result don't mean shit.
Lets wait till after the group matches or at least against USA, before anyone can make sensible analysis. Right now its just way too premature to say a word

The women massage the players after practice or anytime any player ask for one.
Massage with happy ending is very necessary for the players. All hands on deck.

whatever they're called is irrelevant however, their contribution to the ultimate successes of the team is what really counts. anyway, their massaging will soothe our boys but no oral or blow jobs done, pleaseeeee.

With all the talk of a definite win by most Ghanaians over USA for a third time in a raw, today is a judgement day for Ghana football to deliver that win and if their style of play, system and above all the frame of mind of the Ghana Black stars are up to the challenge not only to advance to the round of 16 but to go far in the World Cup. Judgement day to determine if the millions of dollars the Ghana FA is projected to spend on this World Cup is worth it. It's 2am here in the United States and whiles sitting at home anxiously waiting for the game to start I just wish we have a great competitive game between the USA and Ghana. And with that I wish both countries good luck.

START OFF SLOW WITH THE 433. USA PLAYS SIMILAR LIKE GERMANY. KLINSMANN(GERMAN) IS AN ATTACKING COACH AND WILL BE GUNNING FOR GOALS FROM THE ONSET. GH MUST PLAY CAUTIOUS AND CAGEY. THE DEFENDERS MUST BE TIGHT AT THE BACK AND WATCH OUT FOR THE AMERICANS WHO LIKE TO USE THE FLANKS TO GET INTO THE 18(AERIAL BALLS). WE NEED TWIN TOWERS OF MENSAH AND RABIU TO TURN AWAY ANY AERIAL BALLS.
USA WILL ATTACK SO MUCH THEY WILL FORGET THE BACK. ONCE WE COUNTER, WE WILL PUT THEM OFF THEIR GAME PLAN. USA DONT KNOW HOW TO COUNTER. THESE YOUNG GH PLAYERS WILL RUN AND BITE WITH THE USA TEAM. AA, SAVE OUR BEST/EXPERIENCED PLAYERS FOR THE PORTUGUESE N GERMANS. AA MUST START THESE HUNGRY PLAYERS VS USA. THEY WILL SHOW WHY THEY ARE HUNGRY.

First the coach will use KASA as a left back which I disagree but I think that's what this inexperience coach will do. KASA is the only player maker we have but he will be limited to have a free role in this Black Star Setup. ...

First the coach will use KASA as a left back which I disagree but I think that's what this inexperience coach will do. KASA is the only player maker we have but he will be limited to have a free role in this Black Star Setup. Second, it's funny how Ghanaians sometimes turn on a dime when a player who has never justify himself as a quality player shines in a single game and we think he should be included in the team. Jordan was never impressive against Holland and with South Korea the only times she shined was when he was assisted to score the goals. If Jordan and Adomah is in your first 11 then I'm glad you're not the coach.
