Dede, your guess is as good as mine. Let he that has ear listen to I'm saying. Ghana 4 the last 4 and when the times comes I'll tell you how we'll fare in the last 4. Mark it on the wall. This is my 3rd day of declaring this on Ghana web. Nay sayers like Rasheed and co will pounce on me soon but they can't undo what's written because it's already written.

The battle lines have been drawn, POW wait for me. Those who manage to reach the last four don't make noise like our team with bunch of benchwarmers.

I am sorry my man Rasheed, he is not playing for Appiah, he is playing for Ghana. Appiah himself is coaching for Ghana.

my brother, let us put patriotism and being Ghanaians aside. If you are asked to predict the winner between Ghana and Germany for a $100,000,which country will you predict the winner?.

This is why I don't bet because I find it hard taking somebody's money. Other than that, this would've been the best time to bet you on money. You think Germany is sitting there saying it's going to be a cool chop for them playing against Ghana? Verify their sports media and you'll realize their daily headache prior to Brazil 2014. Don't sit there and underrate Ghana in any way. You'll be shamed like it happened during the final world cup qualifier. You least expected Ghana win over Egypt so the 6-1 was beyond your wildest imagination abi? Wait and see

Please do not stand in the way of the tidal waves, because you will be crushed. So if I have done nothing for Ghana, I cannot criticize wimpy Appiah?.Lord have mercy upon Mercy Oppong.

Commander Appiah should not forget Cliford Aboagye, Ebenezer Assifuah and Frankie Acheampong. They are young, skillful, hungry for glory and have played in a tournament at the world stage. Portugal, France and US will be fielding their U20 stars . Why should we put ours on the shelve until they gather dust and rust?

This is exactly what John Barnes said and people did not understand. He said an african country has not won the world cup because of our mentality. To africans, they are good for quarter finals and semi finals. Do our players not play champoins league games with other world class players? If those players say they will win the world cup, why are our players saying they are only good for the semis.

Are you charging the appearance fee so that you bring us semi finals? Is this not fraud?

After the Black Star commander returns to base and after we got all the battle formations configured and after we practice to play with 10 men, shoot penalties, play as a team, play in the rain, play in the inferno, rehearse tactical soccer , THEN, the next stage is psychological warfare. The aim is to install fear of losing in the hearts of your opponents. Once they assimilate fear, the opponents, however formidable they seem to be on paper, are rendered useless zombies. They become hypnotized and paralyzed. Then the Black Stars will have accomplised what General Syn Tsyu has said " You must defeat you enemy before the battle starts". Psychological warfare can scare the pee out of your opponent if executed properly.

Ghanaweb please say exactly what the person said,dnt give us a wrong caption for some fools to discourage our players. In his speech he said “I want the Ghanaian team to become the first
African team to advance to the semi-finals of the
World Cup in Brazil,” Ayew told Ad-hoc.de. He didn't say Ghana will reach semi-final,creating a room for some fools to just comment anything. please readers always read the whole speech before you drop your dirty comments. Am proud to be a Ghanaian. We should all encourage them with one spirit and they will make it to the final and bring the cap home. This is a new black star team and i believe they will make it.#reality#.

Ayew is only wishing ,praying and wants Ghana to reach semi's. He never proclaimed and asserted that Ghana will reach semi finals. The headline is very deceptive and must be condemned.

I have seen that Ghana Black star could do better but there one problem that keeps on panting. 1) How to handle the ball accurately on the field still remains stagnant. In the world cup, Black Star should stop lingering about by tossing the ball back & fort to the keeper. That needs to be avoided. Focus on how you could play man to man game. Don`t delay the ball at all and avoid much dribbling. Focus on goal scoring rather than showing your skills of playing in dribbling. Forward ever backwards NEVER! Blast Star must be fast in handling the ball. If one gets the ball to the scoring angle, two or three players must follow in suite. If the first one misses the ball, the other have the chance to keep it forward. Selfish game must be avoided. Black star is on the field to uphold the good name of Ghana but NOT on individual basis. One man kills and elephant but the meat is distributed to all. Power play is very crucial is see that time is limited. The Germans and other european football champions always calculate their steps carefully by tossing the ball right to the right person. Don`t apologize or raise your hand to the referee if you make a mistake. It`s a sign of weakness and always, the referee will stumble over you and give yellow card. Meekness is not needed in a game but mental toughness is always necessary. Don`t enter the field thinking that other European Teams are stronger than you. Have much confidence that, you will certainly defeat German team and others. Determination and courage is the key seeking success. Pls. eat fufu before you enter the field, it makes you heavy even to move. Eat good food three days before the match. Don show any sign of fear or panic, you may loose in any battle. Either white or Black, they are in the same flesh. The most important thing to close with is; to avoid Juju or caring such damn pot on your head in the stadium. Juju doest play the game nor will it help you in anything. You`re rather drawing Demons into your live and that will weaken your Team obviously. God is for all mankind if you seek his help, he will certainly help you. Avoid consulting Juju man, that is demonic and will crush the team completely and you will lose. Although, it`s a game associated with money but put the money aside and uphold the name of the country. That is all what we need in the coming Brazil world cup competition. May God Bless Ghana Black Star!
