  • Owusu 9 years ago

    He let us down heavily against Germany last Saturday after making that great solo effort and woefully failing to pass the ball to Gyan got me wondering if he was a professional player or an amateur?

  • Slimzee 9 years ago

    You guys are funny. After the Korean game, you guys were worshiping Jordan when I came in to say that the guy still lacks experience and is an amateur. He scoring 3 goals against a developing Korean side was nothing to look u ...

    "Would the real Jordan Ayew please stand up?" He is already standing. This is 'all she wrote'. There is no revamped Jordan who is going to come out of this one! That's all we got. Mediocre!

    Is Jordan Ayew the only one who missed chances in the team. Give me a freaking break. There were enough chances to win that game and defensive frailties undid the team.

    Strikers will always make errors. He had every right ...

    As a nation we will always fail because of fixing square pegs in a round holes.A lot of great football are having children who are also playing football but the country is not fixing them cos of there 'Father" syndrome.
