DEFENCE WINS TROPHIES, TOURNAMENTS
CAN GH WIN THE WCUP? YES!
HOWEVER, THE LACK OF POSITIVE TEAM PSYCHOLOGY. COACHES LACKING ENOUGH TECHNICAL ABILITY TO COMPETE AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL ARE THE 2 MAIN ISSUES WE HAVE WITH GBSTARS.
SOLUTION: PLAY MORE FRIENDLIES BETWEEN EURO N S AMERICAN TEAMS BEFORE THE WCUP. AA NEEDS PROFESSIONAL HELP. HE LACKS DISCIPLINE N ATTENTION TO DETAIL IN COACHING AT THE ELITE LEVEL.
GFA MUST CONTACT FRANK RIJKAARD ASAP TO BE OUR NEXT TECHNICAL DIRECTOR ESP AT THE WCUP. HE HAS A VAST OF COACHING KNOWLEGDE THAT CAN HELP US IMMENSLY.
THIS IS WAT NAIJA SAW IN AMODU N DECIDED TO LET HIM GO. NAIJA SHOULD HAVE MAINTAINED AMODU N PAIRED HIM WITH A RESULTS ORIENTED TECHNICAL DIRECTOR.
WE CANT GET RID OF AA, BUT BRING IN A REPUTABLE TECH DIRECTOR LIKE FRANK RIJKAARD TO ASSIST OR WORK WITH HIM.
BRASIL HAS COACH SCOLARI AND TECH DIRECTOR CARLOS PERREIRA, 2 WORLD RENOWNED COACHES.
IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE AA WITH A REPUTABLE, RESULTS ORIENTED NTECH DIRECTOR. HMMMM, GH WILL GET SMOKED LIKE HIGHGRADE NTAMPE IN BRASIL.
SOLID DEFENCE, LESS GOALS AGAINST: WINS TROPHIES IN TOURNAMENTS
THE BEST WAY TO ATTACK IS TO DEFEND!
AA SAID "THE BEST WAY TO DEFEND IS TO ATTACK". THIS IS WRONG. I DONT KNOW IF HE WAS BEING SARCASTIC/ME BOAPA AS U SAY IN TWI, BUT HE IS WRONG.
THE BEST WAY TO ATTACK IS TO DEFEND.E.G ADOPTING THE COUNTER ATTACKING STYLE. GOOD DEFENSIVE TEAMS WITH TOURNAMENTS. I CANT STRESS THIS ENUFF.
INFACT, EACH TEAM THAT EVER WON A TOURNAMNT LIKE WCUP, AFCON, COPA, ASIAN CUP, EURO CUP, CONFED CUP TOURNAEYS ALL HAD VERY GOOD DEFENCES. DO UR RESEARCH N SEE.
THE TEAMS WITH THE BEST DEFENCES WIN TROPHIES DURING TOURNAMENTS. TEAMS THAT CONCEEDE LESS GOALS IN TOURNAMNTS WIN THE TROPHY. E.G..U17 NAIJA TEAM HAD A VERY GOOD DEFENCE.
U20 WCUP WINNERS FRANCE CONCEEDED THE LEAST GOALS IN THE TOURNEY. POGBA WHO WON MVP AT THE U20 TOURNEY IS NOW IN THE FRENCH NATIONAL TEAM, BUT AA WONT CALL YIADOM AND ASSIFUAH? HOW?
SPAIN WON THE EURO 12 TOURNAMNT TROPHY BY CONCEEDING THE LEAST GOALS IN THAT TOURNEY. ITALY WHO WERE ALSO IN THE SAME GROUP WITH SPAIN WERE THE 2ND BEST DEFENSIVE GROUP N PLAYED IN THE FINAL VS SPAIN.
NAIJA WON THE AFCON 12 BCOS OF THEIR DEFENCE. CAMEROON N EGYPT WON THEIR AFCON TROPHIES BCOS OF THEIR DEFENCE. POGBA, MVP OF FRANCE U20 IS NOW WITH THE SENIOR FRENCH TEAM. WHY HAS AA DROPPED YIADOM AND ASSIFUAH FROM GBSTARS?
ARE THEY WORSE THAN ADIYIAN AND JORDAN AYEW? I DONT THINK SO!
LOOK AT MOURINHO? LOOK AT ANCELOTTI. THEY ARE ALL DEFENSIVE MINDED COACHES WHO HAVE PROVEN THAT WITH RESULTS.
THE BEST WAY TO DEFEND IS TO ATTACK, IS WHAT IS OFTEN SAID BY EXPERTS LIKE AA, AND YET IN BIG TOURNAMENTS, GAMES AS WAS IN THE CASE UNDER FERGIE/FERGUSON, AND NOW DAVID MOYES. MAN U HAS HAD TO ADAPT TO
COUNTER THREATS OFFERED BY THE OPPOSITION. INSTEAD OF THE OPPOSITION ALTERING THEIR PLAY TO COUNTER MAN UNITED.
even brasil COACH SCOLARI HAS A TECH DIRECTOR IN CARLOS PERREIRA ANOTHER WCUP WINNER. TWO CREDIBLE BRAINS IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN 1.
GFA, GO N GRAB RIJKAARD FOR AA, OTHERWISE GH WILL BE DISGRACED IN BRASIL.
WE HAVE A LOT OF EMOTIONAL, EGOTISTICAL FOOLS WHO MAKE DECISIONS WITH THEIR EMOTIONS AND THEIR BALLS, INSTEAD OF THEIR SKULLS.
IF YOU THINK AA DOSENT NEED A TECHNICAL DIRECTOR THEN YOU ARE BEYOND FOOLISH.
GO N LOOK AT THE COACHING BENCH OF BRASIL BEFORE YOU OPEN UR SPEAKER BOX MOUTH!

Why does this coach not see a goalie when there is one?

Put in the work and advise your players to start working on their individual weaknesses starting from now. From shooting, strength, speed, endurance to fitness. Some teams will beat you with skills and other may not be on the same skill level as Ghana but they will be willing to run for 90min plus (Japan and the Koreans). Yeah those teams can also beat you with that. We need lean, mean uncompromising black stars at the world cup. I believe with the right preparation we can achieve good results.

THAT IS WHY I BELIEVE SOMETHING SPECTACULAR WOULD HAPPEN IN THE World Cup 2014,in favour of the GHANA BLACK STARS.
We should all pray for them and back them morally,so non of them suffer any serious injury,but stay fit,awaiting the coming 2014 WORLD CUP TOURNAMENT IN BRAZIL.

My friend, stop being delusional. You have not taught the team any football. You only select the team and allow them to use their individual ability. Asamoah Gyan still does not know how to play with his other man upfront. He wants to keep the ball and dribble everyone in his way. What have, as a coach done to change that?

KWESI....You don't run your mouth but, make your results speak for itself.
Your humility will take you very far.....just as it did with all your club and national team involvements.

"Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." - MATHEW 23:12.

I like your self belief but, with humility....you remind me of 'a lamb with a lion heart'. Yes! You can shock the world only if your players are in the same frame of mind as you and most importantly, the referees are not as biased as always.

I wish you all the best! And once again, KUDOS TO YOU AND SALUTE YOU BIG TIME!!! A TRUE SON OF GHANA AND A BLACK SHINING STAR INDEED!!!!!
GOD BLESS YOU! NKRUMAH WILL BE PROUD OF YOU, JUST AS HE WAS WITH C.K. GYAMFI IN THE PAST........THAT IS THE TRUE SPIRIT OF WHO WE ARE!

"We have the blessing of the wealth of our vast resources, the power of our talents and the potentialities of our people. Let us grasp now the opportunities before us and meet the challenge to our survival. " Address to the National Assembly. 26 March 1965. - NKRUMAH

"We shall measure our progress by the improvement in the health of our people; by the number of children in school, and by the quality of their education; by the availability of water and electricity in our towns and villages, and by the happiness which our people take in being able to manage their own affairs. The welfare of our people is our chief pride, and it is by this that my Government will ask to be judged." Broadcast to the Nation. 24 December 1957 - NKRUMAH.

YOU, KWESI, HAVE SHOWN US THE WAY AND HOPE OUR CITIZENS INCLUDING OUR SO-CALLED LEADERS WOULD TAKE HEED!

GOD BLESS GHANA!

What we need now is to pray for all our best players to be free from injury so that they will be available for the WC. Particularly in defence, we need Vorsah, Jonathan Mensah, John Boye, Addy and even John Mensah to regain their fitness. If that happens, our team will be able to rub shoulders with favourites like Brazil, Germany, Holland and Spain. Clearly, we have a better team than 2010. Certainly, Ghana has the capacity to shock the world in Brazil by winning the ultimate. Equally, Nigeria is also in a good form and the world should watch out for them.

I do hope our beloved Ghana do shock the world but let's be honest, we are not gonna win the world cup. You are on crack if you think Ghana stands a chance at winning the world cup. They don't and not a single team from Africa stands that chance too. The Europeans are more superior because they have better facilities and players. Then let's talk about the South Americans. Argentina with Messi, Aguero, Higuain and so on are one of the favourites. Finally Brazil, they already have great players and with home support are favourites for the trophy. Let's cut the crap and stop calling on God. He's the God of all nationa, he's not gonna favour Ghana over any other nation. Our hard work will get us far but we are not gonna win it. Let's stop bullshiting ourselves.

Stay focused and stay on top of the game, by getting all the latest tricks in the game. We still haven't been able to master our ball possession and ball control. Spain and Brazil in the Confederation Cup should give you some insights as well as Germany and Spain in WC-2010.

Kwesi appiah stop the tribalism and bring Vorsah to secure our defense which looks so porous and pathetic during today's match with Egypt. The reason we were scored was because we lacked the taller, stronger vorsah to head the first goal away and to use his quick long legs to prevent the second goal. Can't you see we have pigmies as defenders ,so all we are saying bring back vorsah, not later but now

The hard work begins now.

Kwesi Appiah, the GFA and Ministry of Sports should begin planning towards Brazil now.

Kwesi Appiah should consult with his management team and present his needs to the GFA, who would action this and work with the Ministry to provide these.

We must be meticulous in our preparation. The watch word is Be prepared!

akwasi, congrats, but stop dressing like a gay, with all those designs on your shirt, i was wondering who designed it, mokola, or the fetish priest, that's why you wore it for both matches.

just pray that Milo does not follow you to Brazil, Kwasi Appiah. Everytime he shows up, you lose.

Historically good neighbours, Ghana and Egypt. This is for those who do not know. Even when Ghana lost to Egypt we still celebrate in Ghana because Egypt was celebrating.
