WHY AVRAM GRANT CHOSE TO FIELD THE UNRELIABLE 2ND DIVISION PLAYER JORDAN STILL BEATS MY IMAGINATION. AT THE CHAN TOURNAMENT HE PICKED JORDAN AND WE WERE NEARLY KICKED OUT BUT FOR THE PROLIFIC KWESI APPIAH WHO LATER TOOK JORDANS PLACE AND DID THE JOB.

The deplorable state of our pitches is now a national disgrace. Those who took the match to Tamale in a hot afternoon on a rough pitch did not do well. You bring players playing on some of the best pitches and take them to that disgraceful Tamale pitch to play against players who are already used to the African hot weather and the pitch and you expect to win. A football nation like Ghana can not boast of a standard stadium We have one the best teams in the world, that's why Avram Grant keep saying, we can do well at the world stage, but with inproper arrangements and poor pitches like this, you frustrating the coach's dream of taking Ghana to the world Cup. Football is one of our passions in Ghana, we are one of the best in Africa and respected the world over, the Accra Sports Stadium should be lifted to a world class level. Ghana deserve at least one world class stadium.

How a world Cup qualifier by a world class team is played on grass like that is mind boggling. We cannot even maintain a stadium

I am surprised that the GFA decided to honour the match in Tamale, knowing that the playing surface is that bad. All our players play on good pitches in Europe, and are now used to that. Almost all the Ugandans play locally on bad pitches at home so they were much more comfortable with the Tamale pitch. Our football administrators are daft, else they would have been more strategic by honouring the match at the Cape Coast stadium. We should host the Congolese too at Cape Coast. The players would have been more comfortable, and it would have been to our advantage. The Tamale pitch, together with the high temperatures, would be the ideal location for the match against Egypt. They are not comfortable in hit weather and patchy pitches. Thus, only Egypt must be hosted in Tamale. We must be strategic from now on. It helps tremendously.

Haaahaaha...laughing in faluja.Who told you that the Ugandans play on bad pitches or you think every African country is like Ghana.And mind you the sun in Egypt might be more hotter than in Ghana because they are more closer to the desert and as such their players have been playing African club compitions and are used to very bad weather compared to our European based players.We just simply missed it big time.

I can't believe I'm calling for more local players like Abednego Tetteh, Ocran and Musah. They must be given a chance against South Africa as well as Koomson and Adu Kofi.

Yes we drew but all is not lost. What it means is that every game ought to be played like a cup final from here on guys pls our dear bs. As for nii lante may be he will have to rethink his ideas about relevant matches and friendly games. Complacency and arrogance has been the bane of a lot of losers. I believe bs will yet play better away considering the pressure and hate they appear to suffer representing their country for sake of local players. Bs is not reason kotoko and hearts did not make use of brand to create academies, coaches cant unearth strikers,judges, police, govt is corrupt. Bs is not oil, cocoa, gold and all ghana exports.stop putting unnecesary pressure on bs for hate of fa.

People are talking as if this is a loss. I am disappointed but not surprised at the draw because we simply do not have the time or resources to get these players together for enough time before matches. As a result we usually do well just because of sheer superior ability. Teams always bring us their best performance so we simply cannot walk over teams. These are the facts.

Grant needs da to be serious and listen well. The team is playing with no creativity in the middle. We need offensive attacking minded midfielders. Does not matter what team they play for. Acquh and wakaso do not provide enough in home games going forward. You need creative guys like augustine okrah, Bernard mensah with skills to take on defensive midfielder go direct and lay that final pass. Always playing though the wings is not gonna make it. It is predictable

We should be worried, really worried. Instead of taking time to prepare for the game, we were anxious to leave for S. Africa for a useless friendly which most S Africans themselves do not care.
