This guy Ronaldo gets frustrated and confused and wants to fight anytime he's handled well in the first 15 minutes.

ADDY, OPARE, JONATHAN MENSAH, AKAMINKO/AWAL, ESSIEN. THIS DEFENCE CAN MARK OUT N CONTAIN CR7, EASY
NPP CAN NOT COME TO POWER,THAT THING CALL NPP IS THIEVES PARTY SO WE CANT DO SECOND MISTAK TO BRING THEM TO POWER. LET CPP COMES.
WE ARE TALKING FOOTBALL SO WHERE FROM THIS? WHO CARES IF NPP CAN'T COME TO POWER? YOU MAY BE SOME NEOLITHIC BABOON WHO CAN'T FEEL WHAT'S GOING ON IN GHANA NOW.
ASK AGAIN!!! I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH PEOPLE.THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS. HIS NAME "GYIMII SOMAN" (MASTER OF FOOLS) EVEN TELLS THAT HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
We don't need these two "book long" to come and mess-up the Country.One of them is ok .
At a meeting,each one of the two would try to impress on the other that he knows.So the end result is long propounded theories without ...

you talk nonsense no one can stop Ronaldo, what do you about football?
If Ghana or OPARE could stop CR7, Opare have to avoid penalties,cos I can smell that CR7 will try a professional foul, meaning to convience any referee of a penalty kick..
You're more than right, Opare should never feature at the back. Vorsah can handle Ronaldo as Jonathan Mensah and John Boye stay behind. If John Mensah recovers fully before the world cup, then he should be called. Adam must b ...

Has he fully recovered from his injury?
Not yet Pal!!
Opare or Akaminko can do this job easily. If cr7 was that good, why was Portugal struggling to qualify for the world cup. They drew with Israel twice and finished 2nd to Russia and had to go on playoff. PLEASE.
K.B. Holland, I think you ought to watch the tape of the game between Man U and Fulham when Pansil (Painstil) played Ronaldo out of the game (Ronaldo was in his prime, he was a young, athletic, strong man).
On that day, Fu ...

Dont kid yourself, this guy is even better now than when he was at Man Utd. He can however be easily handled but the thing is , he has no weaknesses, he is deadly in the air, he packs bullets in both feet and never give out f ...

We can afford to double up on him. Kind of come in line so as soon as he beats one the other defender is there to clear the ball.
U're right; cr7 can be handled only if we have the right people to do the job. The writer is right about Opare, I have being following him since his under 20 period; he's "no-sense" type and ability to absorb pressure. He's i ...

this is disappointing from a technical man. portugal is a team with an extraordinary ronaldo. ghana should be talking about mapping out team work, improving the passing skills of players like badu, wakaso, muntari, opare and ...

In which game pal? I want to watch excepts of it. Thanks
simply you don't understand the word skill.
What more do you need from Badu,Muntari and Opare?These are players who are without fault compared to the likes of Akaminko,Paintsil,Vorsah and Addy.I think it should be the team's priority to frustrate Ronaldo whichever way ...

FIFA will do everything to protect its top players such as Messi and Ronaldo. If you try to rough tackle Ronaldo, not only will they give Portugal penalties but they will also get red cards. Such a strategy will guarantee t ...

Opare stopping Ronaldo means Ghana will play with 10 mean against a 11-man Portugal. This hyper-aggressive guy who could not stop even Neymar in a friendly???
All his tackles on good players attract yellow cards so Ghana mus ...

Ghana now needs taller defenders especially at the middle otherwise the taller Germans and Portuguese would overwhelm us
VERY VERY VERY CHEAP!!!!!!!!
if that is the case then we should've lost to Mali and Sudan everytime we played
Yes. We need taller defenders. We do not have the height when it come s to defenders.
Mr Opeele I think you dont know what you are talking about.If you have been sent to market a player here is not the appropriate plat form.Take him your OPARE to the pitch and train him to be good for Top team before you start ...

Your talk is cheap, no single player can mark him it has to be collect effort.
Opele knows nothing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
He needs to improve as far being disciplined. He incurs fouls too easily and a case in point was against Brazil in London where his extreme aggressiveness led to his red card
essien can stop cr7
Tank u, as my friend would say. I would put my money on Essien. If anybody can mark CR7 out, it would be Essien.
I recall an encounter between Essien and Ronaldo during a tough match between Chelsea Manchester Utd. Essiel did extremely but was subdued eventually by Ronaldo's header. I believe Vorsah and Boye can handle him.
you people are joking....go and bring john mensah and john pinstil, cr7 cant not be stoped...hahaha i pity dawda....
THEY MUST BE FULLY PREPARED,THE GROUP IS NOT EASY AS YOU ARE SAYING.WE HAVE TO BE SERIOUS THAN BRAGGING.MOTIVATION AND DEDICATION ARE NEEDED,SO YOU BETTER ADVISE THE PLAYERS TO TRAIN HARD IF ONLY THEY WANT TO GO FAR IN THE T ...

Mr. Opeele, please take your medicine and go sleep. There are too many so called coaches in Ghana
Opare was able to manhandle neymar and i believe he can also manhandle Ronaldo. Opare vorsah, Boye and Afful will give us a great wall of defence
We have to remember that Neymar is just a "hype"; his calibre doesn't come near cr7, however we have what it takes to stop him.
they collect money from these players and come and hype them. opare will be no match for ronaldo mark my word. this opele guy is not a coach all that he do is collecting money from these players and marketing them so that the ...

OPARE AND GHANA I LIKE YOU BUT THIS ONE DEE YOU CANT
a defender who is fast, tough and does not commit too soon on his tackles. Plus the whole backline must learn to work together and cover for one another.
I hear Ronaldo laughing from here..you guys know how to crack a joke.
I can understand that Ghana is trying to be positive, but, common...
I was thinking maybe this guy knew what he was talking about until I got to the part about "all he needs to work on is his acceleration..."
Well, Coach, Acceleration is the crust of Ronaldo's game and a slow defender has z ...

Foolish people.
The way your leaders in Ghana think that is the same way u think like animals.

Is Ronaldo God ?

ONLY SMART AND INTELLIGENT GUYS CAN HANDLE RONALDO
ONLY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE SHOULD BE ALLOWED HERE.YOU SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO LEAVE HOME ON YOUR OWN
BS MUST PUT PRESSURE ON ALL OTHER TEAMS TO QUALIFY!!!!!,it`s not about who will stop who.
mohamed salah almost get another penalty,our hard tacckles will only give ronaldo a penalty which is what he wants or a free kick which is equally dangerous for ronaldo to kick...our defense is porous,lets play as a unit and ...

Opare will instead foul ronaldo and also lose balls to him. He
The last game of Ghana vs Egypt, Opare did not perform well..look at the stupid back pass to Akaminko when they were under pressure..Opare must train hard to improve to proof otherwise
Who?
dont try and put opare infront of ronardo we are not going to jok over there ok
Time
We need defenders with height. Opare and Inkoom can not match Ronaldo on crosses. He will score a lot in the air. Ghana is weak in the air.
SERIOUS TRAINING IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED BECAUSE THESE GUYS ARE WELL SEASONED PLAYERS. LETS START OUR HOME WORK AND STOP THIS NONSENSINCAL AND EMPTY TALKS. RONALD GOT THE SKILLS AND WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT THE TEAM NOT ONE MAN. ...

ghana need /4/vorsa and/5/jonathan mensah/ 2/joha boye we stop ronaldo ghana need defenders young and strong the can always stay closed to him and get support from 11 or 7 if you dont no go and see the vides about him
there will be 10 players plus the goalkeeper on the field. Admittedly ronaldo is a worldclass player but too much of focus on him will certainly create equally dangerous opportunity for his team members. I believe what we sho ...

So far as the referees do not whistle for infringement on every tackle (be it soft or hard) our boys will be fine.. Some of these referees always favour the so-called "Big Names". Ghana defenders should practice how to tackle ...

Opare is a very good player. He's very fast and skillful, although he's not a natural left-back.
He is not plauing leftback at the world cup. David addy will play leftback and opare will play right back
Opare is the right back in africa and he is still improving..go opare go
opeele is on some cheap drugs!!
I strongly believed that the blacks stars will lead group G for the second round. The stars will not loose against the opponents in group G.
its picth decition
That's if he doesn't commit,,,,,, penalty n concead red card n costs the team
