    Kwesi Appiah has no clue about how to coach the Natonal team. He certainly excluded the Ayew brothers based on personal scores. you travelled to Italy just to beg a more wayward player Kevin to come back to the team. this guy ...

    Stop disturbing us with this Ayew nonsense. Dede was given enough time to show up. He said he was injured. Kwasi Appiah had no choice but to submit the list to CAF before the deadline. Dede's loss.
