Why Hearts of oak fans are against Samuel Inkoom? Apart from Daniel Opare, Samuel Inkoom is the best right full back ghana has, whether he is playing regularly or not. Some coaches abroad are using Akwasi Appiah's words to hamstring our some of our super stars in order to prevent them from featuring for ghana in the world cup. Why should AA takes only the players who are playing regularly in their clubs but are not good enough than those who may not be playing regularly? Richard Kingson is playing regularly, but who will choose him over Dauda? Who will choose Rabiu over Essien? The following players must go to Brazil whether they are playing regularly or not; Dauda, Inkoom, Essien, Adiyiah, Vorsa, Frimpong, Acheampong, Waris and Jordan. They are absolutely the best Ghana has.

Believe me,

Ghana will be put to shame at this WC. Ghana will lose all three matches with huge numbers if they don't get another coach.

This thing for instance shows he is not capable. He is going to WC to face players who are topnotch and not play against weak African nations. In all cases, players that haven't play for some time regulary are weaker..and that is not a fabricated story. Just look at stats.

So bad, but I think he is not the right man for the job.

Why don't you go and sack him? We will lose all matches so what? What will happen to Ghana if we lose all matches? Will that be the first time ever a country has lost all matches at the World Cup? Football is a game, not a religion. You don't go to hell if you lose in a game, plus there is always the chance to start all over again just like Nigeria, France, Argentina and Britain did after the last World Cup.

GOOD DECISION BY KWASI APPIAH!!!

WHAT GHANAIANS SHOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER IS MANY GHANAIAN PLAYERS DO NOT GET ENOUGH PLAY TIME IN THEIR VARIOUS CLUBS NOT BECAUSE THEY'RE BAD AND SURPLUS TO REQUIREMENTS, BUT BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF THEIR SKINS, PERIOD.

NOBODY RESPECTS ANYTHING BLACK, INCLUDING BLACK AFRICANS.

EVEN BLACK WEST INDIANS, BLACK SOUTH AFRICANS, BLACK NORTH AFRICANS AND BLACK AMERICANS AND OTHER BLACKS LOOK DOWN ON BLACK AFRICANS.

MANY RACIST COACHES IN EUROPE AND OTHER COUNTRIES STILL HAVE VERY STRANGE AND PREPOSTEROUS IMPRESSIONS OF THE BLACK AFRICAN.

THAT CHIEFLY EXPLAINS WHY MANY OUTSTANDING BLACK PLAYERS LIKE SAMUEL ETOO, DROGBA AND THE REST CONTINUES TO BE "ROLLING STONES GATHERS NO MOSS" TYPE OF EXPERIENCED PLAYERS.

SUCH GROUP OF GOOD PLAYERS WILL NEVER ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BE PUSHED AROUND BY ANY COACH, HENCE THEY DO NOT STAY IN ONE CLUB. THEY CONTINUE TO MOVE ON FROM ONE CLUB TO ANOTHER.

COMPARE MANY AFRICAN PLAYERS' TREATMENT AND WAGES TO THE LIKES OF MESSI, ABRAMOVICH, BRAZILIAN PLAYERS AND OTHERS FROM OUTSIDE AFRICA, AND YOU'LL GET MY DRIFT.

RACISM IN SOCCER AND IN ALMOST EVERY FACET OF LIFE IS VERY MUCH ALIVE AND KICKING.

AFRICAN PLAYERS ARE ALWAYS SECOND CLASS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR EXPERIENCE AND ACHIEVEMENTS IN SOCCER.

THAT'S WHY ESSIEN AND THE NIGERIAN GUY AT CHELSEA WILL ALWAYS BE MID-FIELDERS RATHER THAN PROMINENT WELL PAID AND RESPECTED STRIKERS.

THAT'S WHAT GHANAIANS SHOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER.

THE INSTITUTION/CLUB CAN DECIDE TOB REFUSE TO MAKE A BLACK/AFRICAN PLAYER THE MOST PAID PLAYER IN THE SPORT. FINE. HOWEVER, NO CLUB, LEAGUE OR COACH CAN MAKE AN AFRICAN PLAYER BECOME LAZY OR REFUSE TO TRY HARDER. IF YOU CANT MAKE IT IN EUROPE VS THESE WEAKER EUROPEANS THEN YOU ARE EITHER LAZY, LACK WORK ETHIC, IN DISCIPLINED OR SIMPLY TERRIBLE

Frankly, as a player, if you don't play consistently, you lose form. Your reflexes and sense of judgment will slow down. Your recovery rate and work rate will also slow.The world cup is for players who are in top form. There can be no room for experimentation in the world cup. The coach should be composed and not jittery. He should have known his first team by now. He seems uncertain about what to do in his preparation for the world cup. He should come out clearly and ask for help if there is the need.

God has given us everything for dominion but please let us simply stay away from his glory period. we should not try whether we believe or not. it will never work. are all the players your sons? if yes, still remember dried liquid simply evaporates but never solidifies. after the previous flop and the time lapse, you might have done no miracle in between. negotiate big money,for this opportunity may not reoccure. with the future of your family at stake. you have one year to prepare...... good luck and God bless and keep you save amen

I had hope in Ghana making it through the group stage, but if he goes ahead and invite these players who have not been part of the campaign, then I think we will be at the bottom of the table. As much asI love to see a Ghanaian represent us in the world cup as coach, I think in times like these when the coach has allegiance to the old players, a foreign coach will be much better. Foreign coaches care only about results and not all these stupid politics.

WE WOULD NEED TALENTS THAT HAVE MENTAL TOUGHNESS,AS WELL,TO SEAL A GAME WIN.
Imotions can take the best part of a player,when pressure builds up,especially,in the final seconds/minutes of a game.
Some could be gripped in fear,and that alone can spoil a whole party.
Therefore,KWESI APPIAH,should be very careful,when choosing the guys to play for GHANA.
Those,he could trust,will be another factor,to consider also,since integrity is always the ultimate conqueror.

The World Cup needs experienced players and seasoned players as well, so Kwesi Appiah's approach and thinking is nothing new. Roger Milla was almost 40 years old, if not more, when he featured prominently and memorably for Cameroon at World Cup and he scored in almost every match! How many hours did he play before the tournament apart from some usual practice? Strange modern football strategy has kept wonderful players unnecessarily long on the bench. The Ghanaian ace attacker of Man United was kept on the bench for no reason until he came to save Man U from a series of defeats. Kwesi Appiah has observed this paradoxical trend and would not like that to deprive Ghana of the best players, young or old, and the experienced! June is supposedly shortly to come, but wisdom and history has taught us that June 2014 could also be long in coming as well, with many unknowns unfolding. Let us wait and see, and please, even though no man is perfect, don't label Coach Kwesi Appiah a "gaffer". The gentle Ghanaian Coach is not a gaffer!
