this israeli is a clown --- no wonder even chelsea fired him!

foolish coach! congo will whitewash ur stupid ass tactics, mediocre team and useless goalkeeper...aboafun coach! stupid GFA too can't see how useless the national team has become....n we keep wasting money on preparations ...wasting state resources ---- bcos these same stupid FA guys wont allow any coach to use our best players --- from kevin..sulley...kwadwo asamoah...etc...we hv great players even in kwadwo poku...kevin tano...adomah...etc!!

NKWASIAFUOR...are these the best our nation has to offer? smh

Avram Grant unfortunately, is no coach. I wonder how he got his coaching job with Chelsea and West Ham, if it wasn't by connection. The guy doesn't seem to know what he needs to do. Konadu is also follow, follow man. He can't speak his mind. He's just kiss ass guy. Until, we are bold to make decisions to field the best, Ghana will struggle like that always.

What was the purpose behind fielding Gyan,Dede and the core players for a match we didn't need to win.He is just trying to win more matches so that his legacy with us won't look so pathetic.Give me one reason why he fielded Gyan and Dede when we still have players on the bench who haven't played a single minute a.Why? Grant? why?

Analysis: We don't learn
1. Braimah is useless. This is not how u direct players to wall up infront of a freekick. Braimah directed the tallest players on the left and moved to that side of the post. Then he directed the shortest players to the right side of the line and left the right side of the post wide open. What do u think the egypsies player were doing in the wall setup? To defend for bstars? Braimah is too dumb. What happened when Salah kicked the freekick? The Egyptian players in the line moved away! Salah shoots over the short lined players to the right side of the post and that's how he scored! Braimah is too dumb. Why do u think the Egyptian players were in the line up? To defend for bstars? Braimah went to protect the the leftside of the post, which has tall gh players lined up infront anyways. And left the right side of the post wide open like his empty brain. U had short gh players and Egyptian players lined up on the right side of the wall. So u defend that side of the post, not the left. These are some of the elements that makes braimah a useless goalie. As the competition progresses u will see mistakes from these inactive bench warmers, and second division players.
2. To those yelling Samuel tetteh, Samuel tetteh are u satisfied now? When i say we don't need second division players with bstars do u now understand what I mean? Samuel tetteh has been reduced to a mere yutong bus passenger in this game. One way player! Drive the ball to the right foot and shoot. U think these egypsies players are stupid like you? Idiot player. Instead of shooting the ball u lob the ball for someone to score. Kwasia, can't you score, can't you shoot? Grant, U don't use tournaments to give players experience. No one has time for that. U bring players who already have the experience to win tournaments like this.
3. Afful is already rusty from playing in mls. Having him play as a leftback, a spot he hasn't played in a very very very longtime is exposing him. I'm impressed with yiadom as the right back he is a technical defender. Afful is skillful but not a technical defender especially with him playing in the mls and all....look at that silly backpass he made. Confused nigga. Pressure they come ur top and u make such a pass to the goalie?
4. Where is gh ball possession? We don't use 2 touch to possess and hold the ball and dictate the pace. We play anyhow without a plan. How do u feed long airballs into the 18? For who to score? Samuel tetteh or jordan ayew? Do these players have any experience scoring from headers? No! This squad lacks identity!
5. Avram grant, who is playing #11? So u still can't find a leftwing player to replicate what atsu is doing on the right?
6. Pls Give the #10 jersey to astu, asap! Utilise atsu' skill in the middle so he can score or get fouls in the 18. It's useless keeping him on the wings! For 2yrs I've been saying this.
7. 70th minute and dede is uselessly tired. And Egyptian player just walked past him and dede is standing there bal watching. Grant, what are u waiting for? For jesus to come and sub dede for you? Ebei grant, idiot!
8. Terpkertey, wat benefit has this guy provided since he came in? Yellow card, USELESS passes, useless long shots. U see, this is what happens when u take bribes from undeserving bench warmers.
9. Grant must teach these players how to stretch these goalies. Jordan had a very great scoring opportunity and he shot the ball str8 at the Egyptian goalie. Is this sensible? Jordan should have stretched the goalie. Put the ball at the last pole and let him struggle to save that.
10. Oh Lord, trial and error coach avram grant is a complete retard for a coach! Afrafranto coach!

ht to Looks like the Egyptians read my piece on how to score goals. Just look at the goal against Ghana, it went straight to the angle i had asked blackstar players to put the ball.
Egyptian keeper cannot be beaten by a straight shoot, And that's what i mean by 18th century soccer.
Instead of passing the ball at the penalty box, they shoot straight at goal. How many keepers can be beaten by such goals, only our 18th century keepers.

Grant didn't work for his coaching certification like most white ppl I know. They use their "white" privilege to get everything free.I know so many white ppl who don't know jack shit and soon they become nurses, doctors, lawyers and they can't even practice their jobs properly. Simply bcos they were favored and let thru bcos of their skin color. Grant is one of them. Opportunity after opportunity and yet can't win fokoo

That is exactly what Osei Kuffour said on supersport.They play it simple and are tactically discipline.WE were just kicking and running over all the field as if we have no game plan.He said that's why they always win trophies in both club and continental football.All our shots on goal in this tournament are directed to the goal keeper and you wonder why we are struggling and you wonder if our players watch the likes of Messi and C.Ronaldo.

Ghanaweb MUST do smth to curtail unecessary insults at this website. It's a noble idea to have such a website where people can express their ideas on national issues on soccer but some people are hiding behind the web and they are using It (the web) as a platform to unleash vulgar and uncultured language on some people. That is wrong. It MUST be stopped for God is watching you. You can express your indignation and frustration devoid of insults.

Samuel Tetteh was totally out of the game right from the beginning and yet he was allowed to played over 70th minutes. I'm very disappointed at the entire technical team. And the goal keeper trainer as well. What has he been telling Razak Brima to do......?

Oh so now some people are reasoning to see the reality. We played against two weak teams and even struggled to win with one goal policy and what some people,players and the coach were saying is that all what matters is a win no matter how it comes. Now we met our nemesis and we were running all over the field as if we were under a spell. I said after the Mali game that had the referee awarded the late penalty to the Malians which was a clear one, that could have spell a doom for us.All is not lost just that we do not have a tactical coach. This is a coach who attributed his success before the last AFCON final match against Ivory Coast to his blue shirt and we expect such a coach to lead our team.Atweakae.
Anyway all is not lost.

We lost the game by not planning well for set pieces like this. Braimah lost concentration by not positioning himself well in the post. There two Egyptians behind the ball, the one on the left was playing fake enabling Briamah moving slightly to his left and that created a bigger room on the right side of Briamah for the other guy to place a powerful shot into the right angle.
