This selection shows the type of novice Akwasi Appiah is. What happened to Adiyah and his men who won the Junior World Cup. The coach was forgotten and now the squad.
Maybe the Akwasi Appiah's Pastors and Festish priest that he works with are predicting a good victory. Because they will send the spirits and angels to go and play that is why he is not concern about the selection.

Black Stars for 30 years have been perenial underachievers in this particular competition. I have personally lost interest and will not watch even a single match. I have no confidence in the current ssquad. It's a SHAME!!!!

Emmanuel Clo..who? Please! Do you think this is a Ghanaian league? Richard Boakye Yiadom will show up. For him, I'm having that feeling. Atsu and Kwedwo Asamoah, are already well known. On the other hand, for the young players, I count on Rabiu Mohammed to shine like he does at club level.

This is a huge test for Kwasi Appiah too. Like I said, hope he brings all he knows from the game with him to South Africa. He will definitely need every map, strategy, trick, plan whatever you will name it, in this tournament. His future as one of the best or one of the worse will begin from this tournament.

I pray he makes it; though, I have little confidence in him.

Hahahahaha you made me laugh badly. Since I came to this forum, this is the only time that we are going to have a big tournament and don't feels any pressure. The govinas hearts breathing is normal without any medications. I feels at ease because I believe coach MRAA with all my heart. It has never occurred to me "What if" never! Because I fully believe in Walatulization the only remedy to our success as a great soccer nation.

You may need two separate Baptism before you become a member to walatulization, mark it on the wall. Haaa I daff again.

I'm glad you have confidence in the coach. There is nothing wrong with that. Not everyone could be in your shoes.

When I went through my research, I discovered both team "A" and team "B" have good players in them. Yes, there are couple individuals my faith has decline due to the poor performances they exhibited in club levels. On the contrary, for those two to be included in the squad, both squads will be difficult to beat. In other words, I don't have any fear when it comes to the squad or the players. We just have to pray for no injuries because the team is paired right.

My fear is on the coach. Can he handle the tournament? As I have been asking, does he has the wit to use the products in his possession? This has nothing to do with that your Walatu-whatever. After the group matches, his mapping in those matches will decide whether he is capable on not. I don't wish him to fail for that will as well go against me because it is my country too; however, I just don't have confidence in him that much.

Therefore the test is set and if he is able to overcome this test, then gradually my confidence in him will elevate. It is as that. Like I said, I pray he makes it and makes it big because we have good players in both squads.

Day Time Pastor, when are you going to become a full Pastor hur? In your own words, we do possess "good players in both squad" and as you can bear me out, nothing comes by chance on less you do believes in evolution like Prof. Sarsabone.

You don't believe in the coach but he has managed to provide good players for the time being for the up coming tournament and do you think he chose those players for no reasons?

Whether you believe it or not, coach MRAA is going to Soweto not to participate only but with hidden agenda as well.

And so far as you have not 'kritisied' our new squad yet, it means coach MRAA is moving on the right direction!

Ask the right questions, Mr. N. How many tournaments these coaches handled before they became our national coaches is not the point, Mr. N because I didn't have confidence in them at first. The point is, when they took over the job till they qualified us to any of the tournaments, what was their records? That was what gave me confidence in them. The record they left before a major tournament was what convinced me to have faith in them. Therefore don't blame me if I don't have confidence of someone. The person's record is what could convince me, and so far, I haven't seen that yet.

You having confidence in Coach Appiah, have you read from me questioning you about that? You trust him, that is good and I'm happy for you. However, please leave me alone to access him as I put the test before him. If he is able to overcome, like I said, my confidence in him will grow.

He didn't provide the players, Massa. The crop is already there. Even one without a ball sense but follows the Black Stars could have picked the same players or even better. What did the coach do again, you said? He provided the players? Don't even go there. How long did he take to prepare these players? Whom has he converted from a position to the other? These players have been prepared by their club coaches; therefore please don't start it.

I do believe though that if Appiah is a little more adventurous with the selection of this first eleven, he could pull a big surprise.

The best among these two squads would be picked for the 28th match against the toughest nation is the group, Mali. Moreover, I believe this would also give the first team the opportunity to rest before encounter Mali for the decisive fist place position.

These are my predictions and nothing more.

IF HE PLAYS WELL, HE WILL SECURE HIMSELF A GOOD SALARY AND A BUYOUT TO A TOP CLUB LIKE AHLY, OR SOMEWHERE IN SOUTH AFRICA OR EVEN EUROPE.

I subscribe Njoy online tv on 12th December 2012 my subscription will end on 12th January 2013. but I cancel it before my subscription even end because of frustration.
I subscribe just to test it to see if their service has improve so that I will continue untill the end of AFCON 2013 or beyond that.
But nothing change, the same poor quality stopping,buffer etc. And they dont respond to your mail if you contact them for support. My subscription package is include Metro tv, GTV,GTV Sports,TV3 and tv Africa. But only GTV is working sometime and too much stopping, buffer etc very poor service.My internet connection is Fiber connection 100 Mbps speed. All the free online streaming is running fine on my pc except poor 419 njoy on line tv.
They are just taking dirty money from customers and I pray that God will cures them for that.
Now that AFCON 2013 is around the coner I just wrote this to warn brothers not to atempt to subscribe njoy online tv.
Dont let the beauty of the site deceive you. You better look for Free streaming online for AFCON 2013 if you are living in a country where you cant have access or there is no African tv channels in cable tv of the country you live in. I am just warning my fellow brothers not to fall into njoy online 419 trapp.

This team is good but how far they can go will depend on how long Asamoah Gyan stays fit in the competition. Of course Richmond Boakye Yiadom is also a top striker and I'm expecting much from him.
