A man was drinking in a bar when he noticed this beautiful young lady sitting next to him. "Hello there," says the man, "and what is your name?"
"Hello," giggles the woman, "I'm Stacey. What's yours?"
"I'm Jim."
"Jim, do you want to come over to my house tonight? I mean, right now??"
"Sure!" replies Jim, "Let's go!"
So Stacey takes Jim to her house and takes him to her room. Jim sits down on the bed and notices a picture of a man on Stacey's desk. "Stacey, I noticed the picture of a man on your desk," Jim says.
"Yes? And what about it?" asks Stacey.
"Is it your brother?"
"No, it isn't, Jim!" Stacey giggles. Jim's eyes widen, suspecting that it might be Stacey's husband.
When he finally asks, "Is it your husband?"
Stacey giggles even more, "No, silly!" Jim was relieved.
"Then, it must be your boyfriend!"
Stacey giggles even more while nibbling on Jim's ear. She says, "No, silly!!"
"Then, who is it?" Jim asks.
Stacey replies, "That's me BEFORE my operation!!"

It's no use carrying tools every where. You've got to stop and look before you love. Crave for anything in skirt and blouse is tantamount to seeing the unseen.

As the coach is saying, Ghana can do more than we think of to make us happy.
So Appiah should work hard for victory and not loser.

All I'll continue to say is that Black Stars should be able to master the art of possessive football. We must be able to have ball control all around and maintain tempo as to when we can. The WC isn't going to be a easy as some of us seem to believe. We have to get into the science of modern football and I hope people are listening. Congratulations Coach Kwasi Appiah---let's we can do in WC-2014.

Let us not start the competition typically. Lets win, win and win. NOT draw or lose our first game before we pick up steam. Let the players be economical in their moves, focused, purposeful, then we can surprise the world.

Kwasi Appiah..… please please please, am begging you; please bring back the one-to-one passing game and keep the ball on the ground. This is what Ghana is tremendously good at, Ghana looks potentially dangerous, aggressive, and the result is always good when Ghana keeps the ball on the ground with precision 1-to-1 passes. Please bring back the good old days. Thank you.

I don't know why for some reason Ghana believes we can play air balls. We are generally short but for some reasons these players like raising the balls. I just don't know ehy.

Appiah should stop the ''media coaching work'' and focus on the task ahead because his opponent coaches are reading each views he puts on air and they will hit hard at him during the match.
Therefore, should focus on the job itself and stop the ''media coaching'' for attention.

Ghana realistically has no world to surprise except herself not being able to cross the group stage line. Akwesi Appiah himself is a novice of a world stage tournament so his plenty talk is just to fight the fright that awaits him in Brazil. He recons Ghanaians quietly have their reservations about his ability on huge responsibilty to souldier the Black Stars on in Brazil; hense his madia coaching noise everyday. Brazil 2014 is not far away to exhibit your capability so pls hold your breath and don't talk too much, the turf will determine.

Practice, Practice, Practice and play more friendlies, testing your experienced and your young players, and that would be the surest way to do well in the mundial.

Honourable Coach Kwasi Appiah,your birth day is Sunday - hence a leader by birth. To me, you are capable of leading the Stars to Brazil, but there is a saying that you can force a horse to the riverside but you can not force it to drink. The players should be coached to be disciplined in all tenets of soccer...eg drinking, engaging in sex while in Brasil. I am saying this to the fact that, the Secret Service of the United States of America charged to do ground work for the visit of the President, snubbed their assignment to chase women in South America. Let them be aware that Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah together with Mr. Ohene Gyan developed soccer as national pastime. In the United States of America, where I currently reside, the Amrican football is the most liked pastime, but they have gone for a German coach to train the the national men soccer team. This depicts the growing love for the English football. I am between two countries like the America coach, who is a native of Germany going to dislodge his native his native nation to advance.
For Ghana to advance after three matches, Coach Kwasi Appiah, the folowing are my advice to you personally.
1. Watch matches of all of the states Ghana is playing to know their ways...with special reference to FC Bacelona. Bacelona plays... pa..pa..pa soccer I mean man to man no hanging on the ball for the world to know your team is good in dribbling.As Abukari of Kotoko said 'goal na ma fefE' meaning he was all the time looking for goals. The more the defense and the midfield hang too long on the ball, the more your strickers are caught in the offside web.
2. Make changes on time, to save players for the next match.
3. Currently goals are scored from wings and corners..hence there should be two players helping the goalkeeper in post anytime a corner is being played.
4. The goalkeeper should all the time be mindful of his position in the goal post, opposing strickers can score from anywhere depending the position of your goalie.

A mixture of experience and vibrant youth will make any team formidable and certainly the coach is lucky to have a blend of experience and talented footballers at his disposal. But I don't think the team is balanced in terms of positions. Our midfield has always been our strongest point and continues to be so now. The striking department have shown signs of improving. But in truth we need at least 2 more deadly strikers to add to the 3 that are on display now. The central defence can also boast of some very good quality players all of them young. I think where we need to be resourceful are the full back positions and perhaps the goalie. I think we can get a perfect balance if we solve the problems associated with these positions.
