  Why was Appiah 'hiding' the rest of the chosen players? I thought this exercise even had a deadline. This is not good enough! Something fishy is going on.

  Are you kidding me? Mahatma Otoo ahead of Boakye Yiadom? He has only scored four goals from last year to this year in a Norway league that is not better than Ghana league and you call him ahead of Boakye Yiadom playing in maybe the best league in the world having scored five times, one each against Barcelona and Real Madrid, are you kidding me, AA?

  May be this explain why he did not release all the names, maybe another list is in the pipeline. I want Akwesi Appiah to name that intermediary who wanted to bribe him with €25,000. You cannot go to Radio station and make such a statement and get away with it. Akwesi Appiah can't painting the picture that he is a saint without naming the intermediary.
  
  What do you think?

  No list coming from anywhere. He gave all this 30 to FIFA on Monday and mentioned 26 as those he'll need to work with. The others are on stand by for injury purposes. I don't have any problem with that.

The other 4 were mentioned based on FIFA's recommendation in case there's any injury and the affected player can't play part of the tournament prior to the start. Appiah hasn't done any wrong here.

  FIFA requested for 30 players from each country, out of which 23 will be the main squad. The remaining 7 will serve as stand by players incase any of the 23 gets injured before the tournament. Don't Brazil has named their final 23 so that's it. There's a 7 somewhere you don't know. Appiah is not confused. He knows what he's doing and let him be. If you can do it, you'd have been a coach.

  If this writer had checked, he would have explained to readers who are now lambasting the coach that FIFA demands that every participating nation gives it a 30man list a month ahead of the tournament.then early june, they bring their final 23man list. That is for FIFA. So Appiah can give Ghanaians his final list even before the FIFA dates. It only shows he already knows who he is taking along. So the four extra men to FIFA is just to meet FIFA's requirement. That is what every country did

  As it turned out (well, according to this news), Appiah had already submitted the maximum 30 anyway.
  
  What we read today are NOT 4 new additions; they are just 4 new revelations.
  
  In fact, you could even submit only 11 players to FIFA if God tells you that none of them will be injured or red-carded throughout the tournament.
  
  And you can, in fact, do that if your faith is vintagely Biblical, because 23 is only the maximum, not the mandate.
