I hope Kwesi Appiah is kidding here. He is losing my respect everyday that goes by. He is the same person that said any player who does not feature for his club will not haveany place in Blackstars team.

Now Dauda who has not even play 5% of his club matches is not only going to make Ghana team but has been handed the number one spot. Adam Kwarasey is being disrespected by Ghana. This guy could have been the number one goalkeeper for Norway and look at how we are treating him.

What Appiah said was only players that have clubs and are fit will feature in his team.

In Dauda's case, I can understand your frustrations but let's mellow "kakraa" for now. The question we need to ask ourselves is besides Dauda, do we have a replacement? On paper, the answer is yes because Kwarasey, Adjei, Braimah, Adams are all active but practically do we have a replacement? Here the answer can't be yes because once upon a time we had Kwarasey as our number one and he was toppled by Dauda because of some weaknesses he had. Now what to do is to wait and see how these goalkeepers will fare in Ghana post. Until we see any keeper better to take over, Dauda remains the number one choice and Appiah is right.

I can say with every being in me that Kwarasey was toppled Fatau Dauda did pay his way from the comment of the goalkeeper trainer and all the events surrounding Fatau Dauda. Fatau Dauda is not good if he was he would be playing for his team period. Richard Kingston was warming bench at Blackpool and he was still Ghana's no.1 you did read all these nonsense about Dauda. "No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light.

America has one of the best goalkeepers in the world in Tim Howard, where as Ghana's number one goalie is a bench warmer in lower South African league. Kwesi Appiah does this make sense to you? I watched you during your Kotoko playing days u were one of the intelligent defenders I have seen. Your performance in 1983 champions league against El-Ahly was superb, but I must admit the reason Kotoko won the cup was excellent goal keeping by Joseph Carr. Car won the African cup period. Carr and Nkono were the best on Africa in the 80's. Dauda is a liability in goal for Black stars. I don't see how he can withstand the pressure that comes with World Cup. The soccer balls used in World Cup are extremely fast which has been a nightmare for work class goalkeepers such as Gianlucca Buffon
Of Italy. As a Ghananian our chance to advance will be very slim with Dauda in Goal.

Pele once said,i will and never ever be a coach.Brazil Pele and not Afrcan Pele.

2 ALL THE COACHES;
You have to accept the challenges of the game and you'll continue to find that winning is the spirit of it.

Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another game plan,and if you are going to be a champion, you must be willing to pay a greater price.

Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character.
The will to win is important, but the will to prepare is vital.

Dear listeners let give a serious lessons to AA before is time. To those think is not a nepotism this is a time to watch him well. In even in great nation football like Spain , France ,England even Germany and among others which have a superstar number goalier never said who is good or not good before a tournament. But today the GFA has imposed an unauthoriot so called coach on us who is really stubborn and say things that isn't supposed to say as coach but still say it. Pls my fellow conocer do you remember 1992 just after the caf tournament how the black star of Ghana look like before Stephen appiah has rescued it from dying. If care is not taken now at the world cup 2014 there won't be a team and after that still Ghana black won't exists anymore. This is because AA talks too much and all his saying are fool of craps. How can a coach says that my number goalier is this and others are not good meanwhile the one which he claimed to be the best is nothing good to write home about. Kwesi is killing Ghana football slowly. Mark it on the wall. 100 years time to come for dauda can be in post for pirate but he can't even measure himself with adams kwarase. Let be realistic and act now.

I used to admire Appiah’s humility in the early part of his appointment as the head coach of the Black Stars. But he has been exhibiting signs of arrogance and ignorance in the aftermath of Ghana’s qualification for the world cup. His decision to camp the BS in the U.S. is a bone-headed decision which defies any commonsense. His remarks now also about Dauda betray his lack of wisdom. I am dumbfounded that he couldn’t realize that this remark could demoralize the other players (not only the other competing goalies)? The remark conveys an impression that he selects his players arbitrarily without a consideration of effective performance. I would have no problem if Dauda is eventually chosen after the other competitors have proved less effective. But right now, the other goalies are actively playing whilst Dauda is warming the bench. You have also given the others a chance to prove themselves in the forthcoming friendly matches, So why make such a premature judgment that Dauda is your first choice? This poor judgment further adds to his poor decision to camp in the U.S. Any rational person of good judgment would be very cautious with the Americans when engaged in any competitive endeavor with them. Yes, Ghana has beaten them twice in the world cup, but that is history. I am not sure if Appiah has bothered to track the current form of the American team. A simple visit to youtube can give him a little sense of the formidable form of the current U.S. team. Appiah should not forget that the trashing of the Egyptian team was an extraordinary performance on the part of the Ghana team. He should not be misled and fooled by that one single good performance to think he has got an invincible team to do wonders in the World cup.

Such a coach useless person without foresight and impervious to advice and innovation should not be made a coach for Black stars. He should know that if Dauda was No. 1 when he was actively playing, he is not still No.1 now that he is a No.3 goalkeeper for his club. Common sense.

because of individual talent of the players...we never played as a team even in the 6-1 win over Egypt. that is what most people don't understand.

Given that this guy has not been playing regularly, why not play him in this friendly for all to see (judge) if he still has it... Coach needs to be careful.

Dear listeners let give a serious lessons to AA before is time. To those think is not a nepotism this is a time to watch him well. In even in great nation football like Spain , France ,England even Germany and among others which have a superstar number goalier never said who is good or not good before a tournament. But today the GFA has imposed an unauthoriot so called coach on us who is really stubborn and say things that isn't supposed to say as coach but still say it. Pls my fellow conocer do you remember 1992 just after the caf tournament how the black star of Ghana look like before Stephen appiah has rescued it from dying. If care is not taken now at the world cup 2014 there won't be a team and after that still Ghana black won't exists anymore. This is because AA talks too much and all his saying are fool of craps. How can a coach says that my number goalier is this and others are not good meanwhile the one which he claimed to be the best is nothing good to write home about. Kwesi is killing Ghana football slowly. Mark it on the wall. 100 years time to come for dauda can be in post for pirate but he can't even measure himself with adams kwarase. Let be realistic and act now.

Akwesi Appiah should better keep quiet if he doesn't have any sensible thing to say especially about Fatau. If 1st choice keeper is warming bench the whole season and you still leave him out of our friendly match and insist he is your 1st choice; hey! what a loose talk AA. What do you take Kwarasay for? Obviously u've started getting it wrong and you're certainly failing even before the tourney. Fatau's juju will not work in Brazil if that is what u're banging your hope on.

Appiah, you cannot compare Ghana soccer to European soccer. That was why you came to England to get coaching lessons. Ghanaians abroad who watches European soccer will tell you Appiah that, you are a fool and laugh at you to here you say that Adam Kwarasey should prove himself to you. Kwarasey is a world class European goal keeper. Dauda is not. Unless Appiah, you have taken bribe from Dauda. European clubs are after Kwarasey. How many of them are after Dauda. The message Appiah you are sending does not encourage Ghanaians Children abroad to come home and represent Ghana in any sports. If Appiah you really said that, then I am afraid, you should be replaced as our national coach. Your words clearly shows that you lack experience in world football .Appiah forget about lack of football knowledgers who often says Kwarasey is scared in the post.Thats rubbish.
