Jerome has always been a better player than Kevin. We got focused on Kevin because he chose to play for Ghana. Jerome has played for Hertha Berlin, Hamburger SV, Manchester City and the mighty Bayern Munich. He's won the European U21 and now the World Cup. He did not get away, he simply chose not to play for Ghana (wise choice} just like Balotelli and Danny Welbeck. Who was the best player on the pitch during the World Cup finals - Jerome Boateng. Kevin himself will tell you. He loses to Jerome in every game they play.

Ghana Black Stars at World Cup had no technical team. They were all cronies who simply wanted to make money. They did not have Ghana at heart. That is why I think Akwasi Appiah and Nyantakyi among other things, should be fired immediately. Those guys are corrupt and cannot be objective in handling the Black Stars.

WE CAN HAVE MESSI AND THE PROBLEM WOULD BE THE SAME. IT IS NOT THE PLAYERS, IT IS THE GHANAIAN WAY OF MANAGING AFFAIRS INEFFECTIVELY AND WITH CORRUPTION IN THE MIX.

STOP publishing stupid articles. We saw Kevin at AC Milan and his abilities cannot be questioned by any sane person

Secondly, Kevin is a defensive / Offensive midfielder whereas Jerome Boateng is a defender. This is comparing apples and oranges.

Finally, Kwarasey is a top keeper in Norway but Nassam Yakubu and Akwasi Appiah seem to think that Fatau a bench warmer at Orlando Pirates is better. This is what you get when you opt to play for Ghana. Sometimes I wonder why Ayew brothers even bother.

I said it before and I will say it again but not to be hurtful to KPB.He really blew a chance here to be an icon and turn his lot in life.Instead he has shown the whole world what type of wild behavior they are signing up for when they take a chance on him.I wish him well and hope things work out well for him.I will also emphatically say that regardless of his misbehavior I will always be grateful that he at least saw fit to sacrifice for his ancestral country.That is more than can be said for that Stupid ape Desailly.

Thats the comparison i want Ghanaians to make. See how we treating Kwarasey who has the same traits as Jerome one mistake and we would be saying that he does not speak the local language so he should be bencehd like AA did to his brother. AA had been benching good 'expatriate' players for reasons best known to him. Kevin lost it with AA when he came all the way to Ghana to play Egypt in Cairo to be benched for 75 minutes to score our only goal in Egypt when he came in i thought from there AA will learn his lesson of starting Kevin in most of our matches due to his potent goal scoring abilities what did he do he benched him again for all places the world cup. Tell you what GHANAIANS KEVIN GOT ANGRY WITH AA AFTER USA because he thinks AA made a poor selection if that had happen to jerome maybe he would leave the Black Stars same day be careful with quite people. Blame AA for our woes in Brazil he's very stupid and does not learn. The problem is AA not Kevin whoever is paid to be writing stupid shit about Kevin should know that we know better.

Why do you research Kevin now, and not when he volunteered to fight for his country. Do you realize that he was a soldier in uniform fighting for you and your greedy corrupt cohorts?

In spite of Gold, Diamond, Cocoa, timber, the sea, rivers, farmlands and now oil, Ghanaians are still poor, incompetent, corrupt and dysfunctional.

You have Muntari, Essien, Ayew, Boateng, Atsu, and you cannot manage yourselves, if it had been Jerome Boateng who is even less assertive than Kevin Boateng things would have been far worse.

The problem clearly is you; not Boateng. Whichever Boateng comes your way you will waste it. That is what corruptmindsets does to treasures- waste them. When you lack the ability to recognize and polish your jewels because of corrupt minds no amount of jewel will make a difference.

I didn't read the whole article, but u read enough to know this is foolishness.

First of all, Jerome did not want to join Ghana, not that Ghana gave up on him as stated in the article.

Secondly, Kevin Prince used Ghana to relaunch his failing career, because Germany did not want him, but we jumped at the chance to take him and provided him the opportunity to re-launch his career.

thirdly and most importantly, Jerome has progressively gotten better because he opted to stay with Germany. Ghana would have almost certainly ended his career, because we only use players refined by Europe, we are not able to refine players ourselves. Evidence of that can be found in the black stars. Count how many refined local based players are in the black stars.

Nonsense.

I wont' be surprised if Nyantakyi wrote this article himself to cover up all the corruption within his federation. Clean up house first before critizing someone else.

KP made a big mistake in his life by choosing to play for a third world Ghana, while his brother was smart enough to stay and play in the first world where he grew up. This makes a big difference in the brothers' fortunes. I have a lot of admiration for KP for choosing to play for Ghana, but I do not think he factored into his decision the risk of playing in a corrupt system - that is his undoing.

"Adopted" country. Jerome's mother is German and he was born and raised in Berlin, Germany. So why do you say that Germany is his Adopted country.

I suppose the the weiter of this article does not know what he is writing about.KP-Boateng was playing in Brasil with anger because he did not come to Brasil transact business with Kwasi Appiah and his corrupt GFA Officials, but rather to Play and die for 'Mother Ghana'.
I am not a football expert or Analyst but one could see the contigents who LED the 'Black Stars' to the World Cup were all weeks,starting from the so-called Coach to the technical team. Like the formal Brasilian international and Bayern Munich player said after every Ghana game;"He said;the Ghana team can Play with every Country in this World Cup and Win but there is something wrong with the trainer(said Giovanni Elba)
To make correction to your article,Ghana should count "Herself "lucky to have KP-Boateng.I live in Germany and have a German wife.They think they were not fast enough to allow him to Play for 'Deutschland' that is why they did not waste much time on his younger-half-brother to Play for "Die Mannschaft".I am even glad Jerome did not Play for the Black Stars.He might have also ended up in the same mess with your bribery selections.
To cut a long story short,Kevin has played many many tough and important Teams in Europe and had showed no indiscipline,why now in your rotten Country?Plus,it is also too late now to Reverse things,else they will take and put him in the "Die Mannschaft".Who does not need a good player in his Team?Every country,EXCEPT GHANA!

It is true we got the wrong Boateng. Actually, it was our National team that made him popular but he has no respect for us and himself. He would only play when it suits him and created avoidable violence when we needed peace and concentration in camp. He not in form but desperate to market himself so don't waste time on him.

WHO BARGAINED WITH WHOM (GERMANY, ANYONE) FOR WHOM?
NONSENSE!
GERMANY DID NOT CALL HIM UP FOR 2010, SO HE FELL ON GHANA TO PLAY IN THE WORLD CUP, PERIOD.

"Jerome was considered by most Ghanaians as a less attractive prospect".*

WHEN WAS THIS POLL CONDUCTED?
TWEAAAAAAAA!

"he (KP Boateng) appeared only too busy immersed in his self-styled role of uprooting perceived corruption from Ghana's Brazil 2014 camp, for which reason he got justifiably booted out of the squad before the Black Stars' underwhelming expedition was truly over".

STUPID CORRUPT WRITER, WO YE KWASEA PAA!

"we can derive some vicarious satisfaction from Jerome's exploits with his adopted country, can't we?"

HE NEVER ADOPTED GERMANY.
THAT'S ALREADY HIS COUNTRY.
