Can GFA talk to coach Milo

We all thank God for seeing the Ghana Black Stars through to next stage of the competition. There is no doubt that Ghana has what it takes to go far in this competition. One important thing the players and technical team must take note of is their sense of agency, unnecessary long shots and the inability on the path of some of the players to release the ball early enough but want to make names for themselves. We need goals and not selfish skills, skills are good but they cannot qualify us to the next stage of the competition. Once again we need goals and not skills. CAN SOMEBODY FROM GFA CALL THE COACH AND HAVE SOME PEP TALKS WITH HIM?.

IS THERE ANYBODY WHO CAN TALK TO THE COACH FROM GFA OR SPORTS COUNCIL to please tell the players not wait till they are scored before they put pressure on USA. I live in the USA and when you hear some of the things they are doing to eliminate us is frightening, they are throwing in everything to win the game. This is not a friendly much, this is the WORLD CUP for God sake.

Almost all the African Countries will sit back and wait to be scored at before they put in strong pressure on their opponent. Yes everybody knows that Ghana beat USA 2-1 at the last World cup but we must remember that USA now is not like the USA at the last World Cup, they are now a much improved team, they play better now, they play as a team, and they are much stronger and faster. Ghana must focus and not under estimate the USA.

I believe we have great players and all it take to eliminate the USA and move to the quarter finals, the players must be advised to stay focus, release the ball early, score early goal and not shoot those unnecessary long shots. May God Almighty help my beloved country Ghana on Saturday, may God bless our homeland Ghana and make our nation great and strong, bold to defend and attack forever in this WORLD CUP IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. AMEN.
