I HAD A DREAM: GH IS OUT!
I HAD A DREAM: GH IS OUT!
TOO MANY GREEDY FOOLS AT THE GFA AND IN THE GH GOVT. WE HAVE BEEN TO 2 WCUPS, BUT LOOK AT THE STANDARD OF OUR SOCCER FACILTIIES IN GH?
EVEN SUPERSOPRT HAS SHORTCHANGED US ON THE SPONSORSHIP DEAL AGAIN. WHY U ASK? BCOS WE ARE BEYOND STUPID. WHAT HAVE WE DONE WITH ALL THE FIFA BONUSES?
LOOK AT THE QUALITY OF OUR STADIUMS IN GH? WE CANT EVEN HOST WMNS U17 AFCON IN GH, IM TELLING YOU NOT EVEN WMNS U17 WCUP...WAT A HORRIBLE NATION.
WE HAVE THE PLAYERS TO BEAT EGYPT, BUT WE NEED TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON. GH MUST STAY HOME N WATCH EGYPT GO TO BRASIL. WE ALL SAW HOW EGYPT N ALGERIA ENDED.
SITTING THERE FOR THIS DUMB FOOL NYANATAYI TO TAKE GH FOR A RIDE. IF ARGENTINA WONT EVEN CALL SEBASTIAN TAGLIABUE WHO WAS THE GOAL KING IN
THE SAUDI LEAGUE TO THEIR NATIONAL TEAM. WHY MUST AA ENTERTAIN GYAN? OR EVEN GIVE HIM THE CAPTAIN'S ARMBAND AS WELL. OVER PLAYERS LIKE ESSIEN, MUNTARI, KASA, DEDE, KPB? IS THIS SENSIBLE?
THE SAUDI LEAGUE IS EVEN BETTER THAN THE UAE LEAGUE, BE CLEAR. HOW MANY TIMES HAS SAUDI BEEN TO THE WCUP? GH WILL STAY HOME N CHEW TWEAPPIA!....AS THEY WATCH THE WCUP IN BRASIL.
IN MY HEART OF HEARTS,I WANT GH AIN BRASIL. BUT NAH, WE NEED TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON. LOOK, THE NEIGHBOURHOOB PARK IN MY AREA HAS BETTER GRASS THAT THE GRASS AT KUMASI N ACCRA STADIUM. HOW CAN THIS BE?
THE STADIUM BATHROOMS ARE HORRIBLE, FLOODLIGHTS DONT WORK, SCOREBOARD IS OUT OF ORDER..I MEAN DO WE HAVE HUMANS OR ANIMALS IN GH? THIS IS SHAMEFUL
WE CLAIM TO LOVE SOCCER SO MUCH, AND YET WE CANT EVEN INVEST IN THE GAME? SO WHY DO WE DESRVE TO BE IN BRAIL? LOOK AT THE MODERN FACILTIIES IN EGYPT?
WATCH THE SIGNS:
1. CAF GH VS EGYPT DRAW
2. MOROCCAN REF
This particular refree is biased against Ghana. HE officiated Ghana/Nigeria match during the AFCON 2008 HOSTED IN GH AND red carded John Mensah?
3. GH TO PLAY AT MILITARY STADIUM IN CAIRO. A STADIUM NO INTL. GAME HAS BEEN PLAYED AT SINCE 2011
4. CAF, FIFA ARE FED UP WITH NYANTAKYI N HIS LYING, CONNIVING WAYS. NYANTAKYI BRIBED REFS AT AFCON 2013 N STILL GH DIDNT GET NOWHERE....
5. NYANATKYI HAS RAISED THE TICKETPRICES BCOS HE KNOWS THIS THEEND FOR GH. HEIS MILKING EVERY CHANCE HE CAN GET. DESPERATION!
6. LOOK AT HOW MUCH THE GFA ARE CHARGING FOR TICKETS? IN THIS POOR NATION GH? LOOK, LIKE I SAID, GH WILL NOT GO TO BRASIL....THIS SAME ANIMAL NYANTAKYI IS AGAINST HOSTING INTL
FRIENDLIES IN GH, BUT FOR A WCUP QUALIFIER. LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY HE IS CHARGING? IN THIS ECNOMY? HOW MANY LOCAL GHPPL CAN AFFORD THIS?
ONLY FOREIGNERS CAN AFFORD THIS AMOUNT.
BRASIL, THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD HAVE REALIZED THE NEED FOR BETTER, MODERN STADIUMS, ATHLETIC FACILITIES. IF WE WANT TO BE LIKE THEM. THE NUMBER 1 THING TO DO IS INVEST IN MODERN FACILITIES,
STADIUMS, SOCCER PITCHES...OH GHANA. OUR PITCHES N STADIUMS ARE SO BAD, SO HORRIBLE. EVEN KP BOATENG CAN PLAY IN KUMASI. YET, WE BEAT OUR CHEST N SAY WE WANT TO GO TO BRASIL?
U WILL GO TO AFGHANISTAN....
NYANTAKYI N ABRA APPIAH. WHY DONT U HIRE THESE FIRE FOR FIRE BOYS...BOAMAH, SONGO, ADAM ADJEI, PJ, PK FROM FOX SPORTS, WALLAS, MAKO, BRAKO ETC.. TO HELP YOU IN RUNNING THE LEAGUE?
JESUS, U OLD PPL DONT HAVE THE ENERGY TO DO THE THING. SO BRING IN THESE YOUNG BOYS TO HELP YOU DO THE JOB. AH, ARE U OLD PPL CRAZY, GREEDY OR STUPID?

No one should panic. Yes, indeed, it is a big blow but I think, a good result will come out of this unfortunate accident. I remembered when John Mensah was red carded and was about to miss a next match, I never knew then that the young Jonathan Mensah would have been able to take over. Today he is one of our central pillars. With this in mind, I have the feeling that a door is being opened for another to step up.

Jonathan, we wish you speedy recovery. You will get well and will soon join the team.

It's a bad news.
Where are those who are forcing Appiah to name his squad? A coach has to study the available "resources" to be able to name his squad.

What I've noticed is that the appointment of the Moroccan referee has killed the spirit of Ghanaians, almost completely.
Since the referee's appointment, I have never been myself and this forum has not been "sweet" for me. It takes a referee to disallow only one goal you score, and you are done with.

They are capable of appointing another Arab to handle that match.

Algeria has also just announced that their return leg against Burkina will be played on 11/19/13 at midnight.

I'm still checking. It could be an error on the part of FIFA. I'll post details later.

Ah, there we go. This makes the return of John Mensah even more pertinent in spite of the availability of Vorsah; Sumaila and Awal. John can bring stability, organisation and leadership at the back, I believe.

Thanks brother Stallion for drawing my attention to that. Just hope Vorsah and Boye recover. They have one week to do so before we begin camping otherwise we are screwed big time.

Vorsah;s recovery date is somewhere in November. Even if he recovers now, his fitness may be in doubt.

Why go back for John Mensah, who doesn't have a team now? What happened to Jerry Akaminko, Muhamed Awal and the rest? I thought when one doesn't have a club, he would not be allowed to be invited? Have you head something different, Ken, which some of us haven't? If you have, share with meoooo because I don't think John Mensah, with his status at the moment could be called.

Do you think organizing alone is what determines the effectiveness of a defender? Check the responsibilities of a defender again. Besides, what is the prove that John can organize the defense? He has not been playing competitively since last year. When was the last time you saw him organizing any team's defense?

I want you to tell me what you know but not what you don't know.

Call Abdul Baba Rahman to the back up for David Nii Addy. For that, I will believe you because he is playing on Eurosport at the moment. He is good at the left full back. Check him out.

My suggestion is that we should use the ones we have already, and stop thinking of changes in mid-stream. We have come a long way with success already.
My only headache is the choice of referee -- it has killed my spirit.

You may be right. The referee can turn out to be generous. But who knows? Let's see what is going to happen.

That is where our worry should be, not our farting about players!

When is Ghana going to start preparing for the game?
The Egyptians have already started, yet our coach has not even announce the player let alone prepare for the match.
why this subpar attitude? KWasi Appiah

BB,

Players can only be released by their clubs about a week or so before the match the match. This has nothing to do with the ineptitude or lack of concern on the part of our coach or the GFA. Eqypt is able to start early preparation because their local league is non-operational (due to the problems in Egyypt). Their players are mostly from the local clubs, and since the local clubs are not doing anything, it's easy to call them to camp. Just this week, Al Ahly recalled its players to their club to allow them to participate in the African club championship match.

the ghana players play more competitive soccer with their clubs than the egyptian training...so dont worry about the egypt camped in dubai and playing friendlies againt sierra leone.

I would suggest recalling Lee Addy who is good and has experience with the Black Stars. Akaminko is an option, but he is slow with age not on his side. Either way we must get the best fit central defenders available and play them.

The problem is that John the Rock cannot effectively back-track anymore without fouling big-time to stop his attacker.

He is therefore a huge penalty-hazard today.
He has slowed down considerably from his heydays.
Still good going forward, but not when chasing a by-passing attacker.

I can see that the ever- boastful Ghanaians are afraid. You chaps will be taught too much soccer lesson when we meet with you. You should go and call your old players like abedi to play for you but you will still lose.
