Why should South Africa do this to Brother Ghana? Wait until Ghana hired him and hike his salary to lure him away? Can a brother do this to a brother. Let's assume the the implanted story is not true.There're many coaches around in the world. Please South Africa poach on Chelsea's Jose Mourihno or the Manchester Coach not Ghana's if you have the money to spend.

Its not true even if he goes to SA he'll fail.South Africa do not have the talents to make him successful,do you remember those Serbs who left us mid-way they failed miserably when they went to Asia.

I am not so concerned. I have nothing against Grant but Asamoah Gyan saved him with that goal against Algeria. I think Grant knows that.

And we would have won the Cup if Gyan had been fit for the final.
You could tell that he wasn't fit as he tried so hard but could not have much impact because of the injury carry-over from the Guinea game.
In my humble opinion, that Guinea goalkeeper's attack on Gyan in the quarter-finals ended our Cup hopes.
Much as he tried, his effectiveness in the final was just not there.

You are quite correct. Under normal circumstances, Gyan would have come up with a goal during the last 30 minutes or so. At minimum he would have created a penalty. It was too bad but I guess now we know that we really need a second striker who is truly prolific. I think we have to see if Assifuah or that other striker from the 2013 under 20 is ready.

Ghana talent and dicipline is more important than the coach. Focus on that.In fact, if the coach is smart he'll realize that Ghana is making him popular and not the other way around.

South Africa should invest in homegrown coaches just like they have done with their local soccer. Until they find success within themselves. Outsiders will simply be coming to get rich off their hardwork..South Africa collapsed at afcon for 3 reasons. 1. They were in a very tough group. 2. The team hadn't played for even 2yrs as a nucleus . All new players. 3. The team was simply complacent. Look at how they played Algeria and Senegal. They could have won those games by sticking to theirncounter attacking game plan. But theybdidnt and wanted to play open. Invest in coaches with a strategic approach to coaching and South Africa will be successful. Look at mayele. He is not a strategic coach and dats why ghana failed under him.
