Be strong and the good times will come for you again, Akaminko. Thanks for being a brave and selfish citizen.

Holland fans really amazed me yesterday. That is the spirit. Well done.

Adoma, Wakaso, and Jordan couldn't have claimed consistencies.

If I were the coach, I would pick Vorsah from his recuperating bed and use him every other half than to rely on 'shorty' Inkoom whose inconsistencies are consistent. Haaa

The suggestion that the last three cut be allowed to travel with the team in their capacity as supporters should gain grounds.
In that, there are over 500 people going to Brazil on the government/sponsored tickets. Why couldn't GFA take these 3 players
with them as a token of their commitment to the GBS, albeit the huzzle and the embarrassment stemming out of the cut could minimize the disappointment they now face.?

After doing good in the under 17's and 20's, most of his colleagues gained promotion to the under 23 team except "akaminko".

He however, worked harder and got purchased by a Turkish club. As is if that wasn't enough, most of his colleagues had the chance to feature in the senior national team except "akaminko".

After months of fans calling for his inclusion in the Black Stars, his moment came only for him to be used later as a sacrificial lamb during the 2013 African Nations Cup. All the players were blameless except "akaminko" who was blamed for causing defensive blunders.

What makes it painful is the fact that it's time for the W/C tournament to begin but all his colleagues are going to make it except "akaminko:.

For me, if there's anything to change in this guy's life, it'll be the name "akaminko" which means, I'm the only one left. Such a person has no one. Father, mother, sibling etc. The name is full of negativity.

Sorry bro and I wish you all the best.

While Suarez and Diego Costa took a few days to recover Ghana player takes over three weeks to do same. Is it because we don't have the facility or what? Anyway, FA should take care of him financially so that his worries will be minimal. Sigma wishes you speedy recovery my brother. How can I donate to this player?

The players are now all busy employing juju men to harm rivals so that they will sail through. Some have agents permanently camped at Antoa, the great Ashanti god.

I feel sorry for Akaminko principally and Ghana at large.

and they got a really good test without getting disgraced. So they'll want to play us again, knowing that even our team B can expose some flaws in their teams.

After all, he still needs to drop some players. Don't be negative. The boys held their own yesterday despite the lose.

In fact, I am optimistic and think there's more room for improvement than us getting hopeless.

akaminko is way better than Rashid sumaila. rashid is a reckless defender and a liability, and the coach should not give him a starting in any of our opening matches.

Are sure of what you are saying? Outplayed the Dutch? On what basis? The scoreline tells you who outplayed who. But for you keeper, you could have been down by 4.

Ghana is a country known for using its citizens and abandoning them in their hour of need. This is particularly so with our footballers. We use them in our quest for glory and abandon them to their clubs when they get injured in the course of serving Ghana. Essien's decline started with the serious injuries he sustained while playing for Ghana. He was always abandoned after his injuries, and his Club always had to foot the bill of his recovery. This must not continue. AKAMINKO must not be left to live his name, which means "LEFT ALONE". He must not be left out when it comes to sharing bonuses earned in this World Cup, and Ghana must bear the full cost of his recovery to prove it is a country worth dying for.

Too bad Akaminko is out. He was the best of all the defenders you selected.

Drop these players: Jordan, Adomah, Boye, Wakasso. If you are allowed to bring Vorsah on as well, then drop Inkoom or Opare (Your choice). Inkoom is not the best, but Opare has struggled to get balls across as well.

This is the time to make hard choices. Hopefully that's what you're paid to do.

Coach AA OR Dr, AA is very unfair on Accam issue, don't get me wrong i don't mind but it is very unfair if he was not given the equal opportunity like others to justify his inclusion. Dr AA should have let him play for all on sundry to see weather he is capable or not. I smell something fishy here..probably he could have redeemed himself in Ghana vs Holland match and it would have been extremely difficult for the silent killer to have dropped him. Presumably, that is the reason why he was not given that chance.or may be he doesn't have any outspoken person to do the talking for him as Jordan is enjoying so far. If it were to be a foreign coach he would have taken this guy to become a revelation. For instance Pele was 17 when he played World cup. If he were to be my son i would have switched him to play another country, believe you me because of this bias by the technical handlers

We saw saw what Adomah did. Adomah could have been dropped and retaining Accam who to me is far better than Adomah and Jordan Ayew.
It seems Accam's fate was decided before the match. At least he should have been given the chance in this Hollamd game. You have given Jordan and Ayew so many opportunities but in all flopped.
Next game Ghana must play with their best 11 in order to correct the mistakes. How can the team fire only tow shots for a full 90 minutes of play.
Really sad for Akaminko's absent.
