Kevin Boateng, Andrew and Jordan Ayew did not retire, neither did sulley muntari, and yet they were compelled to write letters to announce their return...Apart from sulley, whose problem was insolence, the other three 'withdrew' from international duties just like what Michael Essien did...and so if the other four are made to write letters before they are welcomed back, why not essien...In fact, sulley deserves to be on the team more than essien...now that the bed has been laid, essien wants to come and sleep on it...since the english league began, he has not made any appearance yet after three matches...is this an attempt to re-launch his dwindling carrier...i wish he was not called and never for black stars

Why does sanni and GFA think we are fools? If Essien did not retire from the Black stars then why did he not play for us all the time he was with Real madrid and doing well? Why did the GFA not come out to tell Ghanaians that they gave essien time off when the whole Ghana was calling on him to come play for us? This selective treatment will lead to implosion in the Black Stars one day. And who said essien only got injured playing for the Stars? In the matter of sulley, i am so suprised because the black stars is not a crusade ground for only the religious and disciplined to play. If the coach cant manage all kinds of people and get the best out of them, them he has no business being the coach. and we were calling for balloteli to come play for us.....Funny coach funny GFA

Kevin Prince Boateng is another of such opportunistic players who need to revive their career in anticipation of a World cup berth. HMM,N COMMENT.

As stated by GFA, Essien was in constant touch with his country. Not everything can be made public all the time. He is one of the most dedicated players Ghana has ever had. Don't forget he suffered injuries playing for Ghana and not Chelsea. We should be grateful for having a player like him.

Lack of knowledge and my people perish ,some people find it difficult to understand simple topics and i think some do just because of tribal sentiments and partisan political ideas . Essien did not resign from the National team ,he asked for some time off verbally to cure his injuries and put things right in his club therefor he was available for the Black Stars but he was not playing ,so simple an explanation unlike the others who wrote letter of resignation and must write another letter when they want to come back from resignation .Muntari should learn what is discipline ,he is paying the price and it serves him right,Ghana is going to beat Zambia hands down without Sulley who happens to be one of Ghana's big time football player . Long live Black Stars long live Ghana.

Kevin Prince Boateng has done nothing for ghana football, he was away from this league when it was started. Now he is seeing it to go good for the national team to play world cup again so he is working his way into the national team again to go and sell himself again. I am strongly against his acceptance into the national team. It tells me that we don't have a coach but a team leader with just a luck to this level. He has to call Muntali b'cus he rather started with the team til this final stage.
