He is not a right winger but an 8 or 10. He can dribble and lay passes. AA is a blind and stupid coach. He will destroy a player's career and make them look bad. Look at what he is doing to kasa, kwarasay, atsu, etc..

"I never thought that you could organise a World Cup preparation and a World Cup that badly: hotels, flights - everything in an amateurish way.

"Our flight from Miami to Brazil took 12 hours. We were in Economy Class, packed. The legs hurt. For a pro, that's an insult. Meanwhile, our president sat in Business Class with his wife and his two kids. In Brazil the people responsible managed to lose my luggage. I did not have my football boots for days, no tapes, nothing. It was a disaster.

Cutting corners to steal..who paid for his family to travel in luxury? This was for the players, not his family. This is unheard of. Shakin my head. I would have left camp way before. I mean how? If you want your players to deliver. U treat them like royalty. Instead, u treat ur family better than the players? Why is nyantakyi even taking his family along with the team to brasil? Stupid fool, this son of a bitch thinks he owns gfa? I'm going to write a letter to sepp blatter myself to make sure that you nyantakyi are axed. Motnerfucker!

It is absolutely frustrating, upsetting that our officials have this mentality that they and their families must always have comfort before the people who are tasked with grinding out results.

Don't sweat it.
Blatter and Hayatou are Nyantakyi's role models.
Nothing will come out of it.
How many letters have Ghanaians not written to Blatter on issues of GFA's responsibility, accountability and organisation?

England got Goal-Line Technology approved for 2014 because they were hurt from the 2010 WC. A mere 4 years!
That's how England contributes its widow's mite to better the game.

Did we get Automatic Goals Awarded from deliberate hand-blocked goal-bound shots? No. It will take 4 trillion years.

Did Ghana's FA even suggest a change?
No, we're still thinking of how best to feather the nests in our huge stomachs at the expense, pain and suffering of those who actually do the toiling.

Left to me alone, I would dissolve the FA and the tecnicos, not because we lost the games, but because of the stench of corruption, confusion, lackadaisical organisation and unflattering publicity that dogged our WC and disgraced us.

Why not take the necessary action, take our lumps with FIFA, and then come back a better country, having learnt from a painful experience?

Why slapped Sulley with an indefinite suspension leave Parker with nothing I thought management have a higher measuring point. Fifa need to act on the match fixing if they want to send a message across.

I never opposed you for recommending changes in the FA.

I have always opposed you for wishing the Black Stars failure at every turn since the dawn of the qualifiers for the 2010 Afcon.

You said they would not win a single game, let alone qualify for Afcon10, WC10, Afcon12, Afcon13 and WC14, but not only did they qualify for all, but actually hit at least the semis in each Afcon and the quarters in WC10.

That's not a rot for a team that was not supposed to qualify for any of those.

As for Appiah, he was not my first choice, but I rallied because that's how a believer in democracy works: you lose, you rally to the winner to move the country forward, and as it turned out, Appiah did not do badly till we got to Brazil.
For me, his best performance was Ghana-Egypt in Kumasi.

Would I renew his contract? No, but I would not look overseas either for replacement.
I'm totally for coaching domestication.
57 years is enough to be independent in coaching!

And those cursing Sulley must realise that he has been fighting these administrators for years even before he was snubbed from the 2010 Afcon call-up and the 2010 WC, to be followed by his issues with them through Afcon 2012, Afcon 2013, the WC qualifiers and now this.

It means there's something seriously wrong with the administration of the team that he badly wants to have addressed.

SULLEY FOR PRESIDENT!
After all, GEORGE WEAH, football player, tried it in Liberia, and Wyclef Jean, musician, tried it in Haiti, so why not?
SULLEY MUNTARI CAN FIX CORRUPT GHANA.
HE SHOULD RUN AS AN INDEPENDENT.

We want to see a Chelsea jersey; Not a Samsung one. Cheap picture and completely different from the story. Poor journalism

Maybe you are taking some other player for Atsu. Atsu was full of praise by the ITV (London) commentators, including the Arsenal/Barcelona legend Thiery Henry.

Atsu, along with Dede, Gyan, Muntari and Kwadwo, was one of our brighter spots.
You must have missed the games.

I understand football/soccer so know what you mean. we all know Atsu is talented but doesn't understand the game yet. he does not know when to pass or shoot the ball. against usa he took so many un necessary shot. yes he is talented but very amateur . he has to learn the game.

Atsu, you have a bright future only if you will be humble and keep to your job. Be God fearing and don't be greedy for worldly things. God bless.
