Why does fifa continue this attitude of seeking to fustrate the Ghana team. Ever since the team qualified it is one discouraging comments to another: The first time it was falling on the FIFA ranking even to the extend that Cape Verde who plays no footbal suddenly is beating Ghana. Then for the second time, singing this underdog music. Has FIFA dared calling South Koreans underdogs? But we all saw what happended in the last friendly. If FIFA is not calling Americans underdogs, why say Ghanaians are underdogs. When in actual fact they (team America) has nothing comparing to Ghana in terms of soccer. This is not basketball, Ok?
FIFA, don't forget your moto is Fair Play.

BS should forget about the FIFA rankings and "do the real do" on the field. The field will once again determine who is the strongest!

It is unfortunate but if we take our FIFA sanctioned international friendlies just a little bit serious , the equation may be different. Has anyone of us stopped to realize that Coach Appiah has continuously experimented to the extent that he had never beaten any non-African opposition until against South Korea yesterday? I get frustrated and angry with this FIFA rankings but we do not help our cause at all.

Ghana is 37th and above it in 36th is Egypt. (Didn't Ghana thrash Egypt to get into the World Cup????) Countries like Scotland and Ukraine which didn't even make the World Cup are ranked well above Ghana.
What's even more strange is countries like Cape Verde, Wales and Armenia are above Nigeria !!!!

Before you comment, take your time and visit FIFA website and understand how the ranking is done. It's all about what international friendlies you play and whether you win or lost. It might no be a true reflection of your country but it provides a ranking. How many international friendlies did Ghana play since thrashing Egypt in the WC qualifier? Ghana lost all those friendlies. If you want a good ranking, win your matches!

Okay Ghana, I am really looking forward to what should be a very exciting opening match. I have followed Ghana constantly since the last two world cups and I have a lot of respect for the quality of players your nation produces. Our US team will have a hard struggle against a very athletic and technical team. What should be interesting is the two teams are similar in that they like to attack, especially on the counter. And both teams' weakness is the organization of the defenses. Could be a very high scoring affair with lots of exciting box to box attacks. Regardless of the result from this important game for both teams, one of our teams has to knock those other arrogant European teams from the group and make a deep run in the tournament. If it be your nation, I will cheer loudly for Ghana!

In the KINGDOM BUSINESS,BATTLES DETERMINE RANKS.
In our circular world age,wealth,fame,popularity,knowledge can determine rank.
We normally fights for significance in sports,by way of performance,abilities,tenacity,poise,faith and the I can do-all-mentality mindset.
IN THE BIBLE,DAVID MIGHT HAVE REMAINED AS A LITTLE BOY ON THE HILL SIDE,WITHOUT ANY SIGNIFICANCE,IF GOLIATH'S DEFEAT WAS NOT IN THE EQUATION.
GOLIATH was an enemy,and enemies provide promotion.
One's seasons will change any time he uses his faith to conquer an enemy.
There is no victory without a battle,fight,an encounter,a challenge,a competition.
THE BLACK STARS ARE GOING TO DO BATTLE THAT ENSURES REWARD:
THE TROPHY.
They are resolute,unshakable,poised,unmoveable and ready to win it all through an uncompromising battle.
The FIFA could place GHANA BLACK STARS as the last in the ranking,but we are not moved by what they see us to be or say about us.
We are moved by the word of God.
David didn't see GOLIATH as other Israelites saw him:
HE WAS A DOG IN THE SIGHT OF DAVID,who told him,he would offer his body to the fowl of the air.
He saw the battle as the Lord's,as well.
GHANA BLACK STARS should see the ranking,even as a motivation to win the whole.
They have to hate where they have been placed,in order to instigate,quicken them move forward.
To enter CANAAN,ONE HAS TO HATE EGYPT.

Of course Ghana is an African nation and will definitely be regarded as the underdogs by FIFA even though Ghana has beaten the USA twice. As usual nothing good comes from Africa.

Who cares about Fifa's ranking methodology? This is football (soccer); but Fifa thinks it's ranking nations by GDP. If Ghana played in the CONCACAF division, the Black Stars will be rated 2nd or 3rd in the world. Apart from Mexico & Costa Rica, there are no real opposition to the USA in the world cup qualifying matches. Their type of "cherry-picking" strikers won't break the Black Stars' defence. I'm still confident that Ghana will beat the USA; it doesn't matter who's coaching the US team, the Black Stars will beat them. It's just a mind-game (what we call "NTRA-NI" in Akan) that the US & its supporters are playing. It WON'T work against the Black Stars. "GO-BLACK STARS-GO!!..."
