Well, I agree to the idea of "Prior-to, but not during the tournament" 2 sets of players with 3 keepers is enough, During any tournament, survivor is the fitters period.

Ghana has been afflicted by injuries during recent Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, with Black Stars midfielders Anthony Annan, Wakaso Mubarak and Richmond Boakye-Yiadom battling with injuries which made them miss some matches during this year's tournament in South Africa.

LOOK CRITICALLY AT THESE PLAYERS. ANNAN WASNT EVEN PLAYING MUCH FOR HIS CLUB, YET U INVITED HIM. HE GOT INJURED IN TRAINING, YET U TOOK HIM TO AFCON 2013. THE SAME WITH YIADOM. YIADOM GOT INJURED DURING TRAINIGN. INSTEAD OF REPLACING HIM, U TOOK HIM TO THE TOURNEY. WAS INJURY THE REASON WHY WAKASO MISSED THE PENALTY? WAS INJURY THE REASON WHY U SUBBED WAKASSO FROM THE PENALTY KICKS AGAINST BURKINA? U ARE ONLY AFTER YOUR SELFISH GAINS. FAILING TO SEE UR FLAWS

...on this one. But I verse with him already. So far no sponza for Sudanda, no sponza for Leso.
Wenger of Arsenal was able to move Song from midfield to center back, he was able to move Sagna from right to left, Walcott from winger to central striker, and so on. Benitez is able to move Luiz from center back to midfielder; not talking of Furgeson's Manchester United. (I mean, to hold on for some time)
A coach should be able to make those adjustments when the tournament has already started.
But Gov, watch your palace well. I dey come!

Stallvodkadama, my father has just passed away last saturday, so I may be going back to Kotoka again on 19th july and return back 5th August or so. And may I know if there is any special match scheduled at that time.

Now since I have already spent all my money on my first trip at Kotoka, I may be force this time to squeeze, or 3rrrmm compress, borrow, or press, crush, squash, pinch, nip, grasp, grip, clutch, flatten you named it ... some of the forum funds for my father funeral arrangement. Simply because, I am TOTALLY BROKE!

I dey feel hot paaa to sponza any soccer-holic bia dis taam.

What you were saying was true, a capable coach should know when to adjust when the going gets tough. Always, the survivors are going to be the fitters!

Haaa I daff with sorrow.

Sorry about your lost Governor I would bell. On this issue Akwesi Appiah is been a typical Ghanaian he want a rule to change to fit his coaching style. Next time he would ask the rule to be changed so he can bring in 45 players and not 23 players.

May he RIP. I'm sorry to hear that.
Our game with Zambia will be in September, so I don't think you can wait for it. You may be only able to watch local matches.
If you use forum funds, that one na corruption ooo!

Replacement should be possible during preparations but not after the tournament starts - a team has more than 11 players. How does one determine genuine injuries anyway?

Are not the players members of the same country? These are Nations playing each other so as long as they are from the same country substituting for another citizen it should change the spirit of the competition. Unless the competition also includes survival of the fittest or decision making.

"He suggested that in future within the Afcon tournament while the matches are going on and you have injury situations which probably rule out your key players , there should be a way for the coaches to invite players who were not originally named in the squad for the tournament.

U THINK U ARE SMARTER THAN FIFA OR THE OTHER TEAMS? INSTEAD OF SELECTING THE RIGHT PLAYERS, U CLAIM BRIBE. U SELECT LESS FIT PLAYERS. U PLAY WEAL WARM UP GAMES TO FOOL URSELF THAT U ARE TOURNAMNT READY. MASSA, STOP THE FOOLISH TALK N DO THE RIGHT THING. THE SAME RULE APPLIES TO EVERYONE. DONT USE THIS EXCUSE FOR FAILIN TO WIN THE TROPHY. U DONT KNOW HOW TO COACH, PERIOD. U SHAA....GO N BE A SCOUT, PLAYER AGENT, COACH A CLUB SOMEWHERE. U DONT DESERVE TO COACH GH.

Make do with what you have, injuries or not. Once names have been submitted, no changes or replacements should be permitted. Cry baby.
