  • Sammy the Sheriff 10 years ago

    The fact that they have ended their retirement does not mean they will get automatic invitation to the Blackstars.

    First, it was wrong for Mahama to meddle in Footbal matters.

    Secondly, the Ayew brothers should have w ...

    DO NOT BE AFRAID TO HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD. THE BOYS NEED THE BLACK STARS MORE THAN THE BLACK STARS NEED THEM. I HOPE THEY WILL NOT CREATE DIS ENCHANTMENT IN THE TEAM WITH THEIR ATTITUDE.

  • Sammy the Sheriff 10 years ago

    Who is he better than? Why are you idiots always playing jealous card? Jordan has been given many chances in Blackstars and has failed. The Guy is young and has a potential to be a great striker if he learns how to be discipl ...

    "...he is better than 10players in the team." (wasdemoney)

    Please, just mention even 6 of them, and stop talking by hurt!

  • KojoLee/MRAAFor2014Brazil 10 years ago

    Most Ghanaians are cowards to face the truth and the facts, always trying to avoid what is reality.

    Can Jordan, surpass:

    ***Gyan
    ***Waris
    ***Boakye Yiadom

    When it comes to Black Star strikers selections?
    I hope c ...

    They did not consult the Minister and the President when they turned their back on Ghana. This is a shame to the President. These Ayew guys and prince boateng will bring division to the locker room of the team. Some of the pl ...

    Let all those retired players stay retired. Now which players are they going to jettison to make room for these undisciplined players to take their places? This is not the time to pamper these primadonna pampered tads

    Then,why not wait until that so called " Colo" coach leaves before they come back. Are they still going to work with Colo coach? Common sense.

  • Edem Lasisi, Atlanta 10 years ago

    They don’t have to wait for the “colo” coach to leave because some reasonable people have asked them to come back. Besides, they are more patriotic than you think—giving their all and playing through pains with career ...

    And also the coach came back very disappointed and annoyed with his bunch of "indisciplined" players. He even admitted making mistakes and not taking the right and fit players!
