Sad to say but commitment to play for GH is not a favour, that shouldn’t constraint the coach to select him. It can be disappointing, I can agree but no one is under obligation to select any player at anytime!

The uncle should calm down and know that while Kurt Okraku and his GFA henchmen are very corrupt, it is still not any person's absolute right to be called into a WC squad. For example, a player like Joseph Paintsil has been denied 2 WC call-ups, Majeed Ashimeru is not going, so is Afena Gyan, and many others. Even if Derrick Kohn, had not switched nationalities, there was still no guarantee he will be selected by Germany for a WC in the future. It is tough, but it is what it is until Kurt Okraku is voted out of office.

Why don't we include the boy considering his versality so we can have options at the back if Baba Rahman doesn't prove himself.

This is not about emotions. At club level he has never played for any big club in Europe or even Germany. He has never played in the European champions league. He has never played in as any competitive tournament for him to be assessed. He played in just two friendly matches and that is his scored card for him to play for Ghana at the world cup. He is no where near Baba Rahman and Gideon Mensah. These two players have played at the world cup before and other several tournament tournamentd Baba Rahman has played for top European clubs including Chelsea. The coach is not sending mediocretites like kohn to the world cup. He is not an exceptional talent else he should have been playing for top European clubs.

Kohn painstill ashimeru, owusu of Montreal and okrah deserve to be in the provisional team look we all like ayirenkyi but that boy is too weak and inexperienced adjetey, Adu, owusu that boy from France he is not wcup.material from what I've seen this is begat I've seen even the 3 fundamental aspects of soccer like separation to get a pass, claiming the ball and doing something with the ball. These players don't even understand that and from the gfa clips on you tube you see Don Carlos teaching these boys how to use their bodybto bump players off to seek separation and to collect a pass..these are common tricks you learn from Colts how do bstars players not know this?.thats like when akwasi Appiah went to sudan to teach the players how to break and pass, play totals with ball muahahaaaaaaa omu eeeiii omu kasa Keke omu kasa kwa NYANSA biaa enimu

Now you see GFA defending the exclusion of Köhn on social media and their outlet GSN. But coach stays silent. It is normally the coach that defends his selection , meaning GFA was involved.

Did Germany Pick Him??? 3 days ago

If he was that good like Germany would have picked him and he would have chosen Germany. He wanted as easy way out. My concern is including Ati Zigi after collecting 6 goals for a low tier team like Austria.

Kohn must you use the snub to refocus on his club performance,push harder and proove the national coach wrong.AFCON is around the corner and another world cup will come soon,after all,he's not the only one left out.

Baba Rahman waited until the team was USA-CANADA-MEXICO bound before getting in touch with Otto Addo that he was willing to step out of his self-inposed international retirement. This is clearly agent player tactics to market a player who was no confined squarely to the greek or cyprus dyfunctional league. If Baba Rahman could not compete for a place at Chelsea, there is no where in the top five leagues he can make an impact again.

He knows everything country will select 26, is up to you to play your heart out, and if you didn’t make it, you still have your form to play for your club. Insulting one another will not bring any victory. Well, the coach can’t satisfy everyone.

Those lambasting the GFA must know that the GFA did no wrong. Invitation into a national team does not guarantee automatic selection. The onus is on the player to justify his inclusion. Whether he met the criteria or not is another topic for discussion. How can missing out on the Black stars selection ruin his future? If he is not included in the squad this time, next time might be his chance. That's how it's everywhere.

This uncle is causing a stir. There are players who participated in nearly all the qualifying series but were not included in the final call-up. How many times has Kohn represented Ghana in the AFCON? Just because he chose to represent Ghana doesn't necessarily mean he should be called up. His uncle's foolish comments could create problems that might hinder his chances of being selected again. Is Kohn more experienced or better than any of the players currently in the camp?

Baaba Raman and Gideon Mensah are far better than Kohn at the left back position. Kohn must understand that he must work hard to meet that standards. That assist in the German game is not enough to dislodge baaba and Gideon. National team call up is patience. Your time will definitely come. Ask Djiku how long it took him to establish his position? Take it easy guy, and focus on improving your game and Ghana will come chasing you.
