    Gyan can't handle pressure,he was afraid the Black Stars would lose that is why he gave the arm band to Sulley.The GFA made a mistake in choosing Asamoah Gyan as a captain.

  • Mr.N 11 years ago

    Once upon time someone was late in fact the chances that he would show up was not there but when got onto the pitch he demanded the captain's band. A New Era has begun let hope it would last. One thing for sure if Sulley Mun ...

  • Northern Concern 11 years ago

    AG is saying he shows respect for Sulley as a senior player to him and you idiots of journalists are portraying that he is weak! Respect is part of the discipline coach Appiah is bringing to BS, PERIOD!

  • GH 11 years ago

    Don't give captain to GYAN AGAIN,he is bab luck to stars i think.Captain count a lot,ASAMOAH can't talk to REFEREES

    Unity is strength & power. Don't be silly

  • Sasabonsam 11 years ago

    I respect Sule because he appears to be patriotic, understanding and humble but he is firm. If he does not deserve respect Gyan would not have shown it to him. It does also not matter who is the captain so it is good they are ...

  • kofi west haven 11 years ago

    Oh oh oh! Even so, that was a good idea as a leader you have to be honest about your abilities & capabilities and delegation is an effective key for a leader. Oh my friend! OhohO

    WE ARE INTERESTED IN WINNING, NOT WHO WEARS THE CAPTAIN BAND

  • Pusasa Joe 11 years ago

    WINNING is the most important point but not who is the captain

  • esam 11 years ago

    Being a captain means little, it is the commitment to die for the country.Well done Kwesi Appiah, you should have told Abedi Pele this thing like we would have been at the World Cup in 1994. That is what he and his sons want ...

    Ayew Dede will soon play for Gh afetr he is ready cos he is on temporary break from Blk Star. Most of you guy do not read to understand english and think temporary means permanent.

  • COACH 11 years ago

    I don't know where you earn a living but where I work, I cannot decide to take a temporary break for no reason and hope to go back with my job waiting for me. You have shit for brains to believe the nonsense you just crapped. ...

  • Akua Dansua 11 years ago

    So how come Asamoah Gyan took a temporary break from the BS and not only did he get his job back but was made the captain (in your case the CEO of your company)? Can you also tell your company that the last time you gave a po ...

    In any case it is not a sound practice for any player to decide who wears the captain band. We have been football fans long enough to know that it is the coach who is responsible. He could decide to rotate the band.

    You are out of your stupid mind to suggest Muntari and Kwadwo Asamoah should be replaced. You don't really understand the game and that is why you like the colts football played by the Aye boys.

  • Nene Adekerker 11 years ago

  • RED-SOKOTO-GUDARI 11 years ago

    Gyan was probably thinking they might lose against Sudan and so did not want to be criticized and so gave the band to Muntari to save his face, but given the fact that they won with respect, he wants to claim back the band an ...
