Excellennt, It is not only colonial mentality, it is stupidity and lack of confidence in themselves and in other Ghanians. If AA needs help, there are many soccer brains in Ghana. Abedi, Polo, Osei Kofi, Ibrahim Sunday and even Stephen Appiah are all ready to help even for free. Kwame founded the team and called it "The Black Stars" It is a political tool not only to promote peace among Africans but to fight against imperialism and colonialism, to demonstrate that what ever we set our minds to do, we can do it with distinstion. If "they" are afraid, let them stay back with the "women" We are going all the way with AA incharge, surrounded by great soccer players like Gyan, Esien, KPB, Ayew, Muntari, K Asamoah, etc. They are not only there to play, they assist AA in many ways, it is collective effort and that is what we need from all sectors of the country.

Our rewards in life are determined by the kind of problems we choose to solve,for others.
KWESI APPIAH DESERVES THE BEST OF GHANA BLACK STARS AND THE HONOUR THAT BEFITS HIM.
It could be a curse on Ghana,should they bring whatever technical director or what,to taint what KWESI APPIAH HAS ALREADY CLINCHED,ACHIEVED..

I agree with you whole totally that Kwasi Appiah got us there and he therefore deserves to manage the team in Brazil. We have a tendency to undervalue our own coaches even though they have produced results time and time again.
It sure mustsay something about Ghanaian coaches if the 4 times we won the African Cup of Nations, now called CAN was with Ghanaian coaches. CK Gyamfi(1963,1965, 1982)_and Osam Duodu (1978).
Furthermore, under Kwasi Appiah the Black Stars are actually playing to win, not playing not to lose.
In my opinion, no Technical Director is needed. Let Kwasi run his team, if you don't like the results fire him... I am die hard Accra Hearts of Oak fan, but Kwasi Appiah was one of my favorite players..Mayanga they called him...a very tough defender but well spoken and quite the gentleman.

Mr. Duodu, you made your point quite well, when you stated that...."if ain't broken don't try fixing it". Yes! Ghana does not need any technical director....especially an expatriate for that matter.
We can handle our own affairs, as Nkrumah tried to drum into our heads and demonstrated it with C.K. Gyamfi and the Black Stars at the time.
However, you did not need your British friend's input on Africans fixing cars and tampering with engines. That was NOT necessary and would appreciate you steer away from that inferiority complex of yours.
I can also inform you that there are several AFRICAN HANDS that are more than capable of putting engines and fixing them much more than some Europeans......even in Europe, as I write on this forum.
Please go to Kumasi Magazine and you will see better things than the cheap wayside mechanics you chose to employ. That is what happens if you cut corners and want cheap stuff........
And that is the case everywhere in the world and not only with 'African hands'............please don't fall for such comments to make you as an individual feel the need to attack and paint your own people as incompetent.
Apart from that, point taken, and Ghana will beat Egypt 1 nil and go on to WIN the world cup under Kwesi Appiah and his Ghanaian technical team.

kwesi appiah must stay in the helm of affairs but his assistant, team manager & goalkeepers trainer must be changed. none of them ever got a call up into the national team.
the GFA has done very well by introducing professor mintah but this writer will agree with me that nasamu yakubu does not come anywhere near either joseph carr or simon addo interms of pedigree, exposure and skills both as a goal keeper and a trainer for goalkeepers.
to the writer, i think he was a little partisan here. i once read his writeup on baba yara and i enjoyed it a lot. i also remember that name as a columnist in the mirror or graphic as a small boy when i look at pictures but not read. He should have told us that Coach C. K. Gyamfi played for Accra Hearts of Oak as well. With hearts he won the first primiership trophy with the late HP Nyametei as head. check the saga of accra hearts oak.
thirdly, the writer must be honest. we met brazil in 2006 without our best player Michael Essien. That team was not as formidable as we continue to deceive ourselves. that team made it to the second round largely because a certain underrated oldman was in the post called into the team @ the last minute due to the the subtle media war sarfo abebrese launced at the time. against Brazil, the Brazilian sat back to allow us to play. they were sympathetic throughout. they did not exert themselves. they knew we were mistake proned so they waited to captalise on them when we committed them. Cafu was all smiles at certain times of the game. we were no match.

He overlooks all categories and levels of football, does the national planning by setting specific goals and training programmes and outlining national objectives.

Appiah the back is not good.so watch out.....it is not going tp be easy.
Several decades ago he proclaimed that the black man is capable of managing his own affairs and indeed, CK Gyamfi did it. For me the colonial mentality is GONE FOREVER
Excellennt, It is not only colonial mentality, it is stupidity and lack of confidence in themselves and in other Ghanians. If AA needs help, there are many soccer brains in Ghana. Abedi, Polo, Osei Kofi, Ibrahim Sunday and ev ...

The writer is saying we tried to play defensive by playing a high line?
Also technical directors are not football managers. Appiah will still keep this job. Topmoller's role will be to take care of the football side of th ...

LOOK AT HIS RESUME AND COMPARE THAT TO RIJKAARD.
Don't believe this those who wanted an expatriate technical director just wanted an opportunity to divert public fund.Just like how they have been stealing poor Africans money with so call whites thieves.
Please don't repeat the 1990s Ghana's Football(SOCCER)history.NO MONKEY DEY WORK,BAMBOO DEY CHOP BUSINESS IN 2013/14.COACH AKWASI HAVE BEING INSULTED AND CALLED NAMES,NOW HE IS WINNING,BECAUSE HE BUILD THE TEAM,TEAM BUILDING ...

I agree with you whole totally that Kwasi Appiah got us there and he therefore deserves to manage the team in Brazil. We have a tendency to undervalue our own coaches even though they have produced results time and time agai ...

GFA DENIED THESTORY. CAN YOU STOP THIS......
LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE. ABA OHO....
That is vintage Cameron, I miss you, bro!(Daily Graphic : 1960's & 1970's). Where have you been, and how is life treating you? Stay fit and strong.
Peace and blessings!
All this ejaculation to tell us that he owns a BMW.

Kwesi Appiah don`t need any technical director. It`s all waste of our scarce foreign exchange. Leave Appiah alone.
"Operation win the world" has started in Germany, so all these guys are not coming to help but to study our style of play and send information back to their countries. In short to spy. GFA beware!
Some people have enough time to keep writing nonsense..
This is first-class nonsense. GFA must think again. Any attack on Appiah's career will open a can of worms. Journalists, housemothers, kids in nursery, taxi drivers and even the players themselves will boycott Topmoeller. He ...

I think the timing of this article, right before the second leg against Egypt, is very bad!,
Mr. Duodu, you made your point quite well, when you stated that...."if ain't broken don't try fixing it". Yes! Ghana does not need any technical director....especially an expatriate for that matter.
We can handle our own a ...

What about the argument for positive improvement? Did you consider that?

TO SHOW YOU WE WASTE OUR MONEY CELEBRATING INDEPENDENT
WHY GERMAN NOT PICK HIM TO THE WORLD CUP?
Instead of wasting money on a foreign Coach, why dont ghe FA send Coach Appiah to Barcelonia to join their Coach to lean something from him
BLACK NATION, BLACK STAR, BLACK COACH
OURSELVES THINKS WE`RE BRAINLESS
I was against a technical director until we played in Cairo. Whether we like it or not Appiah needs help. We can only ignore this reality to our own peril.
Expatriates? they are immigrants, just like you are not an expat when you go to their country.
that is a great name for my generation...Denizens of Street author?
kudos for illusterious career..

It is well known that Coach Kwasi is not very experienced with soccer outside Africa but he needs help in the form of an adviser not a director. Coach Appiah should be the only boss and he should have an advisor (of his choos ...
