Need Ghanaian Coach
Did konadu not qualify to chan final? If grant was a great a coach as you profess him to be. Why is he always losing finals? At least AA qualified gh to wcup and made it.to afcon semi final in his first attempt. Now, I'm not a fan of aa' style of.coaching. Compared to.Grant. I'm.sure you can tell the difference. Is grant a better coach than AA? Yes, because grant has the experience in certain situations, high profile club. Give AA the same opportunity and I will pick aa to coach ghana. Becos be can better relate to the players, has more.In common with them etc. These are all psycho social reasons for choosing a Ghanaian for the job.blame grant for the loss. He has a track record for losing. It's a fact! Has he learnt anything from those experiences you ask? Obviously not! Not only did grant fail to make the necessary changes to beat Ivory Coast before regulation. He also failed to adequately prepare the boys for penalties, in the right order. Didn't bring on his best penalty goalie. 3 Major blunders in a final will cost.You. Renard on the hand paid attention to detail like a surgeon, a film editor in everything. Go and watch the game again. Ivorians were composed and played not to get scored upon. They played for penalties..we didn't prepare for penalties and we didn't do enuff to put the game away before regulation. We didn't come with a game.plan or.strategy to win. Body language was cheesy and suspect to say the least. We just came to OUTPLAY ivory Coast. Typical Lower mentality from a Loser Coach,.Grant. He thinks he is Jewish so he was born lucky? Muahahahaaaaaaaaa

Potential teachers in training college are taught to reprimand or warn a student.The first time they make a mistake. Now,.coaching is just like teaching. If a coach sees a problem festering and chooses to.do nothing about it. Like grant saw with kwasi appiah.what does that say about the coach/teacher? How effective are they? Are they following due process? If not, why aren't they? Purposely find ways to lose a close.game. This creating a reason to remain employed, perhaps?

Stephane Mbiah did not score the goal against Ghana in 2008. Check your records again. That short man who scored the goal has retired, but it is certainly not Mbiah.

Is this news or history. Who cares about who scored a goal to defeat Ghana yesterday or this morning. Those matches are over. Oh, and it's only a game. We have more important things to think about

When I hear this statement of "He promised his mother he was not going to kick penalties again...", I get lost and feel dizzy. Can our soldiers who defend our homeland Ghana from foreign invaders, say they promised their parents not to defend Ghana again so they too are going to stay away from defending Mother Ghana until our country is defeated? This is nonsense. Soccer is Gyan's profession, and he has to do it with all his might, will, strength and even to the extend of losing his life as a soldier will do. Soldiers lost their lives for Mother Ghana for the freedom you and I enjoy today. I don't care if Gyan had taken the kick and missed it. I would have loved it that way and I was going to be the first person to praise him for that courage. But running away from it, makes him now a coward warrior. And it is true "Cowards die many times before their real death..." I don't care how you spin it, toss it, or turn it, Asamoah Gyan is a coward warrior who allows the fear of a penalty kick to go under his skin and intimidate him, in spite of all the "Azonto dance"he had graduated in. Keeper Barry of Ivory Coast was scared in taking the penalty but he allowed his tremendous fear to become his only courage. So he played all those tricks by pretending he had a lot of Lactic acid build up in the muscles of his legs. Instead of performing "Azonto dance", he rather went in for the "Bee dance", falling onto the pitch and doing all those funny stuff to drive away his fear, until he gathered himself and kicked and became the unthinkable hero the world has ever had. Unlike a whole captain running away, and could not dance that Azonto dance to shake off his fear. He failed that test that day. I do appreciate all that he has done for the Black Stars (both good and bad) and he is a human just like us all, but the fact is, he could not cut it on that day. Please get over that fear and come out and become a perfect penalty-kicker and stop that fallacy of "I promised my mom ..." We will all be accountable to our Almighty God in the end and not our "Moms". Do your nation a big favor because God has given you that strength and life and not be intimidated by fear of the unknown, Gyan please. Be a man and warrior and stop running away from your ownself.(Bob Marley reiterated).

YES Gyan the coward warrior made Ghana to loose this Cup.He has no vision to lead Ghana to victory.Where there is no vision the people perish this is what Gyan did to Ghana.RUNNING AWAY FROM YOURSELF AS A CAPTAIN?

I still miss my )katakyie Munta & Co.Experience is the main factor in success.Our guys were good yes,were they experienced enuff to beat the Ivorians this time around,No.

A.Gyan chickened out,what would´ve happened if Muntari and Essien were around to step in. A.Appiah was not up to the standard of that game,what would´ve happened if KPB was around to take over??.

Apart from the retired Drogba and Sokora,Ivory Coast brought all their best just to win the cup,led by the very experienced Toure brothers. I think this must tell you something about high-class soccer Mr Nyanta. Oh don´t forget also that it was that old player called Klose who came to equalized for Germany in Brazil.No sensible person will discard his best arsenals in times of war,over to you Nyanta & Co.

How can quarterfinal and semifinal elimination be heartbreak? Sensibly on can only say Angola 2010 and EG 2015 especially were heart breaks. Stop this useless and inconsistent write ups

IF ANDRE HAS STEP UP TO TAKE THE PENALTY EARLY AS LEADERS SHOULD DO, WE COULD HAVE WON EASILY. INSTEAD HE WANTED TO BE THE HERO BY DEFERRING TILL THE FIFTH PENALTY TAKE. SHAME ON HIM.

I think writers must do considerable research before coming out. Mbia has never and did not score against Ghana in 2008. It was Nkong rather. This will affect the credibility of Ghanaweb
