ACHEAMPONG IS NOT A RIGHT WINGER !! VERY FEW LEFT FOOTERS CAN PLAY ON THE RIGHT BUT APPIAH THINKS EVERY LEFT FOOTER CAN PLAY THERE. HE HAS ALSO USED KWADWO ASAMOAH. ACHEAMPONG WAS A PASSENGER IN THE FIRST HALF BECAUSE HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. APPIAH REFUSED TO SWICTH HIM WITH ACCAM OR TAKE HIM OFF. THE MEXICAN PLAYER HAD A FREE RUN FROM ACHEAMPONG'S POSITION TO THE BOX AREA AND GOT A PENALTY. IF A RIGHT FOOTED PLAYER WAS THERE LIKE AGYEMANG BADU HE WOULD HAVE CHASED HIM AND PUT IN A TACKLE. KWESI APPIAH DOES NOT LIKE TO USE RIGHT FOOTED PLAYERS ON THE RIGHT WING. HE CHOSE A GAME LIKE THIS ( NOT ASOKWA DEPORTIVO ) TO TRY ACHEAMPONG ON THE RIGHT. HE SHOWED WHAT HE COULD DO IF PUT IN HIS COMFORTABLE POSITION WHICH IS THE LEFT OR STRIKER'S POSITION.

Chipping is the trend, strikers!
Stop those one-on-one hits into goalkeepers. Chip them over the top and you'll win!

It was not the coaches fault. Dwamena and Acheampong simply missed clear chances. Ghana would have won 2-1 if those went in. This is football.

I have said all along that we need folks that can create havoc in the 18. Feeble shots at goal would not do it. Do we have anyone we can call a striker?

A team without tactics. I went there simply because it may take another 11 years to see them in Texas. but guys if you observe things in very critical way, you will become more convinced that our country have leadership problem. 79% of our decisions are wrong , our priorities are at of place and we invest wrong people and wrong market. in football, where are the likes of, Essien(Zion train), kuku Dadzie, Isaac Paher Sr and Jr, Kofi Abbrah, John Bernnama, Nana Eshun, Johnson smith , Ebo Smith etc. Kwasi Nyatakyie has successfully destroyed western and central region teams as result, we lack many quality players and suffered useless humiliation

I have read Ghana had numerous chances
to have won the game on another day
unless I am wrong and although it was a
friendly game you still have to win which I
know the coach new that because results
breeds confidence. It was also good for
the coach to try some players and he will
also learn from this defeat. Now let's not
forget that Mexico is a very good football
nation so regardless any team they use
whether A,B or C will be there to compete
not just to make up the number's.

Ghana BS or bullshits if you like, can only win matches against other African sides. As for European, English or Latino sides, Black Stars should forget it. Winning matches against low quality second sides in Europe or Latin America is impossible. They have far quality players than African sides, and it shows in the EPL, MLS, La Logs, Bundesliga and even the Asian Leagues in which Asamoah Gyan scores only with the help of MALLAMS JUJU.

Winning matches comes with a game plan smarter than that of the opponent's. We lost because we were out performed. Pure and simple! The fucked a BS player, and he was Mexican-American so what! Give me a break, Kwesi Appiah!

Our team will never progress with John Boye in the team.

In the past he made a mistake against the USA, Portugal own goal, Cameroonm Mexico etc.

The other defenders and the keeper were ok in the Mexico game.

We will never beat Mexico or USA playing in America because it is their home games. Mexico got a lot of supporter in America so it is like their home game.

Jordan Ayew needs to be sent to the midfield because he tends to miss too many chances in most of our games.

John Boye should not play against the USA.

If you watched the game as I did, you will agree with me.The players have talents, but lack modern day soccer sense. The time is far far gone when the player can dribble and dribble. Team work is the order of the day. Ghanaian players are greedy, and that is why the national team perform poorly even though the talent and skills abound. Everybody want to score a goal. That is what cost us the world cup winner. Dede Ayews brother after dribbling his way through should have given a pass to Asamoa Djan who was unmarked. He chose to score by himself and lost. In yesterdays game on many instances the players got the ball in the opponent penalty area, where a pass would have resulted in a goal for Ghana but the players chose to shoot themselves. Modern day European soccer players get the ball in the opponent extreme left or extreme right penalty area and they don't shoot. they give a diagonal pass to the center of the penalty which always results in a goal from another player. But Ghanaman want to shoot, and at that ankle the keeper is in good position. Akwasi Appia shd let the players watch hours and hours videos of European soccer. We can learn from others. Our star of play today is archaic. Running and running chasing balls, wanting to score by yourself. Team work is the order of the day.The Ghanaian team need psychologist to talk to them. They need self confidence. Talents and skills without confidence in yourself will take you no where. The boys are good individually, but team work is lacking
