  Yes he speaks the truth. The 2010 members of the black stars are unique. They could have won the world cup but for some little mistakes like Asamoah Gyan's penalty miss.

  I totally disagree with Mr Adu Sarpei because football is about talents and tactics.
  Therefore,it makes a lot of sense to always compare the best to the poor ones;I mean in terms of performance on the pitch.

  As for me,the only comparison I make from the current Black Stars and the 2010 squad is consistency.
  The 2010 squad had more than 50% of the players who have played together for a very long time,roughly about 5 to 10 years.
  Today we have only 10% who have played together for more than 5 years,it makes a very big difference especially when they are all coming from diffrent football philosophy.
  You can hardly get the free flow,the Ghanaian type of football.Tnx.

  I listened to the full interview on Joyfm morning show and you're repeating exactly what he said.He said most of them gad the opportunity to have played together for 4 or 5yrs b4 2010.It was easy then for any Coach to pick the starting 9 players. He ended by saying the current team has talented players but they do not know themselves so we shd give them time.

  Mr Atta, if you care to know, the key or main point is not HOW LONG the players play together. Rather it is HOW NATURALLY GIFTED AND TALENTED the players are.
  For instance, a team that is made up of KICK AND FOLLOW players, ie players who are NOT NATURALLY GIFTED AND TALENTED, and have played together for let's say 5 years mostly lose when they come against a team that is made up of NATURALLY GIFTED AND TALENTED players who have played together for just one month.
  For example, the Spanish national team is one of strong and exciting national teams in the world as we speak.
  My question is, how long has the players in the team been playing together?
  So you see, the problem with our national team, and our football as a whole is that TOO MANY of our players today are made up of KICK AND FOLLOW players, ie players who are NOT NATURALLY GIFTED AND TALENTED.

  The 2010 team all started from the junior ranks played together for a long time before graduating to the Black Stars and were all first class players and were joined by the World U21 winning team. Apart from Kevin they were Ghana made Ghanaians. Muntari and Essien always control the tempo of the game. The current team are a bunch of individuals and not a team.

  The current team is labeled as "Fr3fr3 kobo", and would they perform, absolutely not.

  Ei Sarpei, this guy was like a diesel engine on the left full back position. Charlie, the guy could not be beaten. He made an excellent name for himself in the black stars. He was one of a few who used their real age.
