If you feel that the AFCON can negatively affect your future, why don't u leave? Life will go on without u.

Scouts all over the world will be watching the AFCON. Atsu, please concentrate to offer an excellent performance to get a better team, New Castle is way beneath you.

If we think like this, how can Ghana move forward, where is patriotism. Only in Ghana will u see players opt out of national call. An England player will dare not.

Are you saying there are some Ghana stars somewhere besides these players? You throw in things like top leagues, premier leagues and confuse readers. I tell you it's often hard to fully follow your point of view. Your passion is the only thing that is obvious. I'm however not so sure about the substance of your comments. What are you really saying?

The best soccer leagues are EPL, La Liga, Serie A, League 1, Bundesliga. What other quality leagues are you referring to? Do you mean Ghana Premier League? And what are these Ghana stars that nobody but only you know about? I'm dumb so I want you to spell everything out for me. I bet you can't come out with a whole lot of a better list, one with proven players, than what Grant has assembled. Ghana isn't producing good players currently you know. The coach's list is our best but all the players just happen to be average.

He has mental problems. He makes sense only to himself. To him, if a Player's team has not won a cup, he should not be in Blackstars and this illiterate moron has the audacity to insult people for no reason.

This is the chance for a lot of our players to get playing time, something they don't get in their clubs where they sit on benches. They should thank AFCON.

If you fear, then you have to work hard to convince your club not to fire you. This is your chance to shine.

Mikel Obi left the Chelsea camp at the end of last season to play the Olympics game for Nigeria and lost his place in the Chelsea team.This was all because he was not part of the pre-season training under the new coach.He is now playing in China.So what will you say about that.One of the main reason is why CAF does not want to shift the date is because of the rainy season which occurs in the middle part of the year in all the sub saharan countries.How many of you will go to the stadia when it is raining or when he/she is aware that there will be heavy rainfall later in the day.
