    gjhaians always lie about their age any if we choose kingston then am soorry egypt will beat ghana 5 nil why brinh an old goal keeper

  • Master P 10 years ago

    Dont use 'us' coz you're not Ghanaian* (which you cant even spell) and whether Kingson plays or not we will still beat Egypt!

  • OJ 10 years ago

    Stop demonizing Olele; he's still Ghana's best choice. Please praise him when we save the country against Egypt.

  • WHAT A FAIL PREPARATION 10 years ago

    GFA is looking at a defeat waiting in-front of them and yet they cannot do nothing to reverse the defeat to be a win.
    Oh what a fail football association with A CARE-TAKER as a head coach of a national team.

    IM NOT EVEN AGAINST THE OLD GE OF OLELE. THE FACT IS HE IS NOT A TOP GOALIES ANYMORE. IF HE WERE IN NET FOR KOTOKO, WINNING TITLES N TROPHIES IN THE GH LEAGUE, FA CUP. DINE, I WILL SUPPORT HIM 100 PERCENT. BUT TO BE THIS OLD ...

    He has only one life, one mother so he has only one brithday...Olele what is it? this is an embarrassment to ghana...why is CAF involved in this? even if he is 60 years , is that an issue?

  • jay 10 years ago

  • jj 10 years ago

    Yes u are right. He is confident in his team but on African soil,olele will not let him be. Too much black magic. Olele feels he owns the Ghana post and wants to come back. This is what he wants.

  • GC/USA 10 years ago

    I BELIEVE ADAM'S PROBLEM IS NOT BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE GHANA DEFENCE RAPIDLY NOT BEING ABLE TO SPEECH THE LOCAL DIALECT OR SIMPLY THE COACH DOES NOT LIKE HIM AND HAS PREFERENCE FOR THE LOCALS. REMEMBER MR. APPIAH ...

    You don't make sense. It's the same Appiah who forced Olele out for Kwarasey. We need 3 goalies with composure and at least one with experience. Kwarasey, Olele and Razak Brimah, no more nervous Fatau Dauda.

  • bella 10 years ago

    Age should not be an issue. Granted all the three goalies have the same skill level, I will go with the older one because he has experience which you can't teach. Roger Miller was 42 and performed better than most of the you ...

    It now borders on criminality and not about his ability to be in the post or not. Now that it has been found out that he lied about his age, he could be sanctioned and if Ghana uses him against any Nation and win the against, ...

  • OSEI TAWIAH 10 years ago

    Sorry, there is no age limit in the AFCON so lying about age is not the issue here. The issue is whether he is still fit and better equipped for the Black Stars. I bet he is better than nervous Fatau Dauda. Our goalies should ...

  • Askantwi 10 years ago

    Of course it's an issue. He could break the hearts of the whole nation. The man is 48 years old. That is his true age. No wonder he was keeping the post for Great Olympics in 1988. If Laryea Kington is too old to play, what a ...

  • kwaku Brakye Toronto 10 years ago

    I still cannot comprehend the recall of goalkeeper Kingston by Coach Appiah. The guy is too old and besides he has not been active of late. The coach should select the right players to face Egypt otherwise he will be history

  • GHFUO, change ur thinking 10 years ago

    START OLELE VS EGYPT
    OLELE IS AGELESS.
    ALL 3 GOALIES MUST BE ABLE TO START AT ANY GIVEN TIME. SO IF AA INSISTS ON CALLING OLELE. THEN HE SHOULD START HIM VS EGYPT

    At this stage, the criterion is not age. If he can do the job, why not. How old was Peter Shilton of England when he retired? Maradona could only beat him with his hand.

  • jj 10 years ago

    Peter retired at 47years old, olele is now 48yrs old

  • jay 10 years ago

    But he wasn't 48 so wat is your point., Kingston is not as good as the England keeper let face it.. this is just an average keeper that was why Adam replaced him..

  • Askantwi 10 years ago

    Exactly, Nyantakyi, the shopkeeper is just trying to give Olele (the oldman) " the most wonderful weekend of his life". The woman is Egypt.

  • Mars 10 years ago

    That 65 maybe true, sometime we provide really age a latter Change ur for our new fight when things failed

  • Ghanaba 10 years ago

    Roger Milla was 42 years old but he was making more name than he was 21 years.
    I am proud of Kingston. How many of our 40-year olds even exercise regularly let alone play soccer regulary. Keep on Kingston!!!

  • GHFUO, change ur thinking 10 years ago

    IM 37 YRS ANS WAS BORN IN 76. I WAS AROUND 10/11 YRS IN 88 WHEN OLELE WAS IN GOAL FOR FOR OLYMPICS. DO THE MATH. HE IS NOT 35, OR 42, OR 48. THIS OLUMAN IS 52 YEARS OLD. AA, I THINK U SHOULD START OLELE AGAINST EGYPT. WONDERS ...

    FALSE: He was a year behind me in secondary school, and I'm not yet 40.

  • GHFUO, change ur thinking 10 years ago

    HE WENT TO SCH WITH THE WRONG AGE....HE WAS OLY'S NUMBER 1 GOALIE IN 1988.

  • Anukware 10 years ago

    The former Soviet Union goalkeeper was old and yet he performed well in the post. Age is not necessarily a barrier to stopping shots between two posts so long as his reflexes are ok.

  • Sharky 10 years ago

    Ghanaians are a big Joke. Why cant we protect our own? Even if he is overage do we have to tell the whole world about it? After all everyone knows about 99% of African players DONT use their real age..

  • jay 10 years ago

    That's you.. am an African and we use our real age so the story of we not protecting our own has no basis.. its is wise to say some of them especially some years back not to say 99% mention one African player you know.. give ...
