It appears, unfortunately, that we may not be bale to rely on Essien for the World Cup tournament. It may be a good idea to find a replacement with some urgency.

Hopefully the Ghana technical team is getting smarter. Experience is important but stamina is even more important. A lot of the teams will come with aggression more than skill show.

The US played Mexico last night, with a lot of aggression ans speed. They were very effective when they did that. Get Afriyie Acquah in there.

We shouldn't sit down and let things happen to us. Let's conduct investigations into all these, if it's possible. Some may not agree with me but brothers, the world has changed.To weaken your team before the Brazil showdown, it's a matter of knowing the time table for matches and getting some weak souls paid to do this job.

ARE WE BEING TOLD THE TRUTH? IS IT NOT THE SAME OLD NAGGING KNEE?

Was he trying to do too much to prove he still got it, despite his deteriorating physical health?

Hmm. Since he is still young , only 31, hopefully he can recover quickly enough for the Ghana Squad for WC

why are we so ungrateful , when i read some of the comments on here i am so amazed how ungrateful ghanaians are ? none of you guys has done something for ghana . essein has been loyal to blackstars , he nearly lost his carrier while he was on duty for ghana . give essien a break , every player can get injured . you same people were complaining about kevin prince boateng . my question to you ungrateful people out there is when was the last time you did something that ghana can be proud of ? before you start critized our hero you better think twice before you open your mouth. Essien i wish you a speedy recovery , blackstars will be lost without you . god bless you and your hard work .

Kwaakuuyaw, I agree with you regarding some of the horrible comments being levelled against Essien.However, what do you mean by "none of you guys have done something for ghana"? I have heard people raising this question whenever people are talking about footballers and other so-called celebraties. I want to pint it out to you that everybody's contribution to the nation is important-from the kayayoo to the laborer and and farmers. If all of us became footballers, what would have happened to the country? By the way, how would you classify our politicians? Thanks and appreciate our contibution too!

Kwesi Appiah, take note. Essien is not fit play in the WC. Parma's Afriyie Acquah is the man to play in the WC.
