    You are a fool. Mad man. What did Drogba, Weah, Salah also achieve for their respective countries yet fools like you celebrate them. You can go to hell. Shame on a hater like you.

  • THREE DOTS ... 3 months ago

    Your entire generations are fools, infact your mother, father uncles and everyone associated with you are not only fools but big fat fools. Insults are not one man's prerogative, everyone can trade it.

    How many times did Messi go to the World Cup and how many times was he defeated and how many times has he won the World Cup. Ronaldo is also the best, has he ever won World Cup before. Some of you must be canned to death.

    Abedi Ayew Pele, was a soccer-gem but was too selfish and destructive in his heydays in our national team.
    His own selfish and destructive behaviours prevented him and others like Stanley Aboraa, Joe Addo, Foyoo Sam Johnson, ...

    Stop Clowning around, he played like Jordan Ayew when playing for Ghana, he best performances were for his europeanclubs.

  • Kk 3 months ago

    Sure at the level of Jordan Ayew he was light years above anyone whoever donned the Ghana jersey. None of the current or past black stars players can compare their performances to the great and idolized Abedi for the black st ...
