    Has any world class player playing in the Arab world ever won the World Cup?You can't use your two eye balls to look into a bottle.

  • persona 9 years ago

    Age is a major factor in all of these. No one is talking about it but these players are not young. That is all I want to say on the matter

  • OKENTEN 9 years ago

    Well said and well played

  • KHOPIA 9 years ago

    foolishness, any excuse will do now...after the fact. you were rubbish because you have a rubbish coach, no formula, no plan A or plan B and no hope of getting through to the next stage.

    The players with Mohawks need to cut it off at once to get some better contact and direction when they head the ball.

  • kojo 9 years ago

    kelvin should have started the game.

  • Referee 9 years ago

    On hindsight yes. However, the defense was not prepared for war. Lacked concentration and focus and right from the start and very late in the dying embers of the game, the vulnerability of the defense was exposed big time.

    Cheap things are always costly in the long run,Appiah wasn't supposed to be coach in the first place.If we wanted a local hero to lead us to Brazil,Selas Tetteh would have the chosen one,because he has proved to able to go on ...

    John Boye was rubbish yesterday even though I must admit he has played well in the past for Ghana. I don't know what was wrong with him yesterday. All the two goals that we conceded were his mistakes. He failed to tackle Clin ...

    Your are right my brother, Boye is a joke for de 2 goals

  • Ern # Brasil 2014 - Kick off!! 9 years ago

    For the first goal Boye should have stood his ground and forced Dempsey to go wide towards the goal line, thus narrowing the angle for the shot, which would most likely have ended in a goal kick, or at worst a corner. Instead ...

    I don't know wat to say but Pls don't be selfish is team game Nigeria did just that. Muntali should sit down Waris inn may replace a Ay. Boateng replace Muntali even tho Boateng piss me off.

  • Roy 9 years ago

    In the last world Cup the expatriate coach took as far. But bcos we want chop! chop! we went and took Appiah. His first game in the WC he can't even win. We cry for the job knowing well that we are not up to it. Appiah's exit ...

  • Dan Kosowah 9 years ago

    What the team lacked was a forward or two who will carry the ball into the penalty box and be a threat to the opposing defence. Like Messi or Nehmar. We need a dangerous attacker, period

  • The truth 9 years ago

    Yesterday most of you mutherfuckers were saying how good of a selection appiah chose for the match. Now that we've lost you same mutherfuckers are saying how bad the selection was. The blame is on boye and Jordan. We had plen ...

  • the truth 9 years ago

    As much as that players are to be blame, it all ends with coach since he's solely responsible for selection. AA don't have a game plan and only count on luck to win games. Useless coach

  • Odina 9 years ago

    Yes team work is different from what we call collection of stars. If KA has used this selection for all the friendly matches 80% of the mistakes would've been corrected. The stars need to play as a team to understand themselv ...

    Despite Ghana's defeat by USA a few things are worth pointing out; and this is just an observation, but you can decide for yourself.

    1. Essien was seen walking over to shake the US coache's hand when the game was in play ( ...

  • Boahene 9 years ago

    We lost the game in the selection od players. The manager under-estimated USA. Why should we field Jordan, Atsu, Rabui, and leave out Essien, Boateng and Waris in an opening game at a world cup stage? I blame the manager. He ...

    Coach Appiah shot himself in the foot….I told him don’t use fresh “green“players to start but experienced ones and the silent killer did not listen..Why use “hatred” to make your selections? Which means if he coac ...

    The players are to blame themselves, learn from the mistakes and move on as a great and matured players. Both you and Kwadwo Asamoah have said it as it is.Introspection is always good.

  • Eric Amponsah 9 years ago

    Wofa Kwasi Appiah, please start preparing the under 20 team players who have strong fighting spirit like Essieful inkoom who is now playing in NZ and mould him because he is exceptionally good. Start looking for the young Gha ...

    Anybody who understand football would see that the coach has done what he suppose to, we dominated the game and created lot of chances, it was just a hard luck. Now all what we need is stop blaming and PRAY for the next game, ...

    I do not want to hear any noise from anybody. You asked for a local coach you, you got him.

  • AkwasiA 9 years ago

    Appiah is a good coach. None of the past Gh WC coaches is better than him. We have good days and bad days. The players did their best. I'm in the US and American soccer fans attest to the fact that Ghana played better than th ...

    It's not about playing better. It's about strategy. What did the coach of the US say before the match. He said he know how to beat Ghana. Before you get into a game, you plan for your opponent. You just don't throw playe ...

    The Sports Minister should organise Agya Koo and his teams mates to Brazil now and bring back Jackie and Dumelo. May be that will help.

    Don,t blame the coach or the players,our boys played very well, even the Americans know that, they were really scared of our players. I am very proud of our players. God bless them.

  • George Adu Jr 9 years ago

    This game was a very high stage which required experience. Terrible starting 11. Kwadwo Asamoah is playing the position. We played the wrong formation. Our strong advantage is our midfield so stack the midfield. Should've pla ...
