Ben Kuofie is too "kolo" to involve himself with active football affairs. He is full of colonial mentality. Don't forget that Ghana is dealing with a new breed of football players who pry professionally in the Western world. This is a world far beyond Ben Kuofie's world.
Coach Appiah should have been fired right after the Brazil World Cup. It was unthinkable for GFA to offer a 2 years renewed contract with him. I will fire anyone who was involved in the renewal of Appiah's contract. Please Mr. Ben Koufie your time is past. Take my advise and go home and watch some TV. You are too "kolo". Thank you for all your past services in the past. Leave the football scene to people who understands the current breed of players.

So you do believe the sacking AA was wrong, he should stay on for a while right? Afcon first 2 matches are gone, so when do you think will be the right time to fire him?

I don't know your age but whatever your age is I think it's appropriate to show respect. I don't know when it became wrong for someone to share his/her opinion. If you disagree with someone's opinion and consider it foolish, that's fine. Share your wise opinion but don't go insulting. It's so sad that some Ghanaians have resulted to this unacceptable behaviour of insulting people.

I don't know what the GFA expect from Coach Kwesi Appiah! What is is winning percentage compared to all the other coaches who ever coached the Black Stars? I remember when the Serbians were in charge we lost some crucial games ,but we kept faith with them and eventually got some decent results. If ,Appiah is out then the GFA must go too. !!I thought when Appiah left we were going to stick with one of our own! Is GFA saying we don't have indigenous Coach who can take over from Akwasi Appiah.?

With their bench-room coaching of our Ghanaian coaches,I think only MD Odenke can handle them, that`s why they don`t want him.

The timing may be poor in your eyes because you live in the past or as somebody points out you are moaning because you have missed a golden opportunity to come back to the limelight through the back door. No disrespect meant but it is strange an octogenarian or thereabout was being touted as a Technical Director for the Black Stars. This shows the state of affairs in Ghana football up to now. Kwofi, on the flip side the timing is right. The GFA for a once in a long time have acted wisely, in my opinion to stop the rot before it's too late. What is important now is that the right person is appointed to take charge. I believe the GFA and many Ghanaians have learnt a lesson and wouldn't give a toss as to who takes charge whether he comes from the Moon or planet Mars as long as he can deliver.

We educate our children in English. They grow up and can't get a jobs because they are given to foreigners who speak no word of English.......and then pay them more than our own.
The point is Milo (who speaks no English or a little and walked out on us) will be paid $50,000 US Dollars a month, right? And his interpreter how much?
We also bring the Chinese to construct our infrastructural projects....speaking no word of English...........................
So, reader, please make sense out of this and let me know HOW STUPID WE ARE as a human race!!!
We somehow hate our own and love others....in the name of hospitability? If there is any such word. No! We are STUPID and will remain so forever!
Kwesi has been made a scapegoat out of the debacle in BRAZIL.

And as if to emphasis your alignment tendencies, you seem to be roped in by Nkrumah and God, an irony in itself since Nkrumah as a communist did not believe in God in his ideology. Finally you are an Africanist to the bone, so how do you call yourself "non-aligned?" to fool us?

GFA lied to the people of Ghana
including the president by bringing in technical adviser and appointing him a head coach; Akwasi Appiah does not deserve this shameful treatment from GFA- he deserves a better treatment!

What kind of logic is that! So, the GFA should wait for when, after Appiah has added to his non-winning ways, where it counts! It is obvious the guy cannot win the big ones. So it was better to cut him loose before he could cause more disasters. Consequently, for once, I give the GFA high marks for doing the right thing. Appiah can therefore go on a high note, winning a match in Togo and the day after got the pink card. For those who think he is such a good coach, let them find him a coaching job elsewhere, it should not be difficult for a good coach, should it!
Let him go period
