It seems this guy is becoming a talkative these days, Qualification to world cup is not all but.We need sharp and intelligent strikers, We need very very good and tall,experienced defenders not the ones we have in the squad at the moment.I bet AA that these defenders can not stop Ozil(Germany),Ronaldo(Portugal) nor Altidore(USA)Akwasi should rather look for better players to be the squad rather than talking talking bullshit.

Stop acting like a fool? We all saw who you put forward for Ghana coach at the time. You chose Desailly who has never won any trophy but asking for twice the paycheck offered Akwasi Appiah. In the end he kept bluffing that he does not want to coach Ghana anymore just because we asked him to consider accepting a little bit lower paycheck. Next you chose Sellas Tetteh who is equally a good coach but was on contract in Rwanda. Stop making a fool of yourself by trying to fool Ghanaians. We have long term memories if you don't have one.

You need tall and experienced defenders, sharp and intelligent strikers. Since Ghana has now exhausted searching for all our good and experienced intelligent strikers and defenders around the world, why don't you go and borrow one from Papua New Guinea?

You have a job to do. Use the brain God gave you to map out a good training program for the BS. You are not a pastor. You are the coach therefore leave God alone and focus on the job of coaching. Can I get an amen?

Coach Appiah, you must be proud of yourself and your past achievements before getting the job. You worked very hard by virtue of the fact you chose soccer coaching as career and profession. You went to schools and got education in coaching. Why would you belittle yourself and intelligence. Besides, many Ghanaians and non-Ghanaians in Ghana and internationally supported your appointment by writing on internet blogs, facebook, email and letters of support to the GFA. So it was not luck, Akwasi. It was rather concerted efforts of hard work and support from the people who wanted a 'Ghanaian Coach This Time' movement.

A Black girl in an all white Schoolcomes home from school one day and tells her mom "We were learning our numbers today and everyone else could only count to 5, I could count to 10. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!"

Her mom tells her "Great job honey!"

The girl asks her mom "Is it because I'm black?" Her mom tells her it is.

The next day the black girl comes home from school and tells her mom "We were learning our alphabets today and everyone else could only get to E, I got to J. A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J!"

Her mom tells her "Great job honey!"

The girl asks her mom "Is it because I'm black?" Her mom tells her it is.

The black girl comes home from school the next day and tells her mom "Today we were in the showers after gym class and all of the other girls were flat chested, and I have these!" The girl lifts her shirt revealing very large breasts.

Her mom tells her "Um... Great job honey."

The girl asks her mom "Is it because I'm black?" Her mom replies "No dear, it's because you're 25.

PSALMS 1:1-3 says:
BLESSED,is the MAN,that walks,not in the counsel of the ungodly,nor stand in the way of sinners,nor sit in the seat of the scornful......
But he delight is in the word/law of God,in whom he meditates day and night.
And he is likened to A TREE PLANTED BY THE RIVERS OF WATER,THAT GROWS,FLOURISHES,EXCELS,REJUVENATES,EXFORATES,THRIVES,IN DUE SEASON,AND WHATEVER HE DOES,PROSPERS.
I see you very humble,and God blesses,uplifts,exalts the humble.
He knows our heart before he calls us on an assignment-The job,task,problems,GOd calls one to handle,solve.
YOU BELONG,THAT'S WHY HE CALLED YOU TO THIS CAUSE(THE COACH OF GHANA BLACK STARS).
Criticisms will always come at you,but you should be the one to know which ones will educate,warn,alert,salvage,equip and strengthen,help you,in all your endeavour.
Know what to subscribe to(the weightier matters) and reject the trivial.
Always,use the wisdom of God but not tactics,of the devil,to address every problem that come your way.
BE STRATEGIC & NOT TACTICAL IN PROBLEM-SOLVING.AND YOU WILL WIN IT ALL.
Above all,know that INTEGRITY IS ALWAYS,THE ULTIMATE CONQUEROR.
FEAR GOD.

Kwesi Appiah as much you are doing your job is fine, rely on God for direction and be impartial to all players. Love all of them as one body but limit the amount of time you go to the press and be careful what you say to the press as well because the slightest error would incur the displeasure of the same people singing your praises now. A word to the wise...........
