This Raymon Yeboah is a person who always come up with a story just because he wants to be heard.He always criticises Akwasi Appiah out of hatred.I wonder if he has ever kicked a football in his life

VERY SMART, INTELLIGENT DEFENDERS. BOYE AND KASA WERE QUESTIONABLE BACK THERE. THE FIST GOAL I BLAME IT ON BOYE. HE SHOULD HAVE PAID ATTENTION TO GOETZE GETTING BEHIND HIS BACK/GETTING INFRONT OF AFFUL BEFORE THE CROSS WAS MADE. HE FAILED TO PAY ATENTION TO WHAT WAS CLOSE TO HIM(GOETZE). BUT RATHER CONCENTRATE ON WAT WAS AFAR(THE BALL). THE SECOND GOAL WAS PURELY KASA'S FAULT. THE NUMBER 1 RULE ANY DEFENDER MUST MAKE DURING CORNER IS MANNING THE LAST POLE. THEN AGAIN, KASA IS NOT A DEFENDING SPECIALIST. AFFUL WAS MANNING HIS SIDE OF THE POLE, WHERE WAS KASA? AGAIN, I BLAME AA. HE SHOULD HAVE USED KASA IN DEFENCE. THIS IS A MUST WIN GAME N U GAMBLE AGAIN. AFFUL AND OPARE.....BOYE PLAYED YOEFULLY IN THE FORST HALF, BUT HE SHOULDNT HAVE BEEN IN THE GAME IN THE 2ND HALF. HE LACKS HEIGHT, HE IS SLOW IN READING OFFENCES. AND HIS AERIAL DEFENDING IS POROUS. U HACVE SUMAILA WHO IS WAY BETTER N AA KEPT HIM ON THE BENCH. BOYE IS ALSO A DIRTY PLAYER. LATE ON TACKLES. HE EVEN CAUSED A PENALTY AGAINST MULLER IN THE FIRST HALD, BUT THE REFS DIDNT CALL IT...

Stop the knit picking. Our boys did wonderful.yes there are issues to iron out but the games just started. I agree to afful being the man of the match. Boy what enormous amount of energy. I wonder how opare could be chosen over him but then that's in the past. Let's all pray we get out of this group stage to the 1:16.

THE GAMES JUST STARTED? U ARE FUNNY. ITS STARTED WHEN THE REF WHISTLES PLAY ON IN OUR FIRST GAME VS USA. WERE U SLEEPING LIKE BOYE? WELL, GO BACK TO BED. GH MAY NOT EVEN QUALIFY AFTERALL. U AND I KNOW THAT GERMANY AND USA WILL ADVANCE OUT OF THIS GROUP. WHY U ASK? BECOS U AND BOYE WERE SLEEPING WHEN REF SAID PLAY ON VS USA. EVEN IF WE BEAT PORTUGAL. WE STILL WONT QUALIFY. WE NEED EITHER GERMANY OR USA TO BEAT WIN OR LOSE. NO DRAW...U DONT WANT TO KNIT PICK NOW, BUT WAIT TO KNIT PICK AFTER U HAVE BEEN KNOCKED OUT? FINE, GO AHEAD...

I'm surprise that AA didn't invite Desailly(WORLD CUP WINNER 98) on his side on technical & team selection issues. I believe these was AA's problem from the onset of this tournament. Playing Opare ahead of Afful was an awful mistake in the game against USA. Bringing back Jordan, ahead of Waris in GHANA-GERMANY match was another blunder. When German's where down by 2-1 and they brought in Schweinsteiger to replace Khedira. It was evident that they wanted to dominate the mid-field and put pressure on the Ghanaians. And that work perfectly for them when we concede two successive corner kicks resulting to the equalizer. I was expecting AA to replace Muntari simultaneously to the double substitution by the Germans, and bring on Afriyie Acquah, (POWER HORSE) to re-establish our dominance in the mid-field to avoid sustain pressure from The Germans. But AA failed to effect that change, hence, tiring Muntari who already have one yellow card under his belt, and he is danger to miss our crucial match with Portugal.

This is a good squad. Even if they don't get out of the group, they've shown they are world class players. Let's keep this them together to compete for CAN 2015, they can end the 33 year trophy drought.

All the guys were great and this Afful guy was just awesome to watch he played awefully at the defence with Boye,Johnathan and own K.Asamoah who was also all over the place.Gyan,Muntare,KPB,Atsu,Dauda,Dede were all very sterling in their performance they all made Ghana and Africa proud.Their group referred to by everybody around the globe as the group of death proved to be OBIARA NYE OBIARA to our boys.Kudos to our boys,the Coach,Asst.Coach and the Tech team.

@Yes Akua, we are OUT! And Nyantakyi must explain by what criteria he renewed Akwasi Appiah contract? Why he didn't wait after the world cup for everyone to assess whether AA deserve a renewed contract? Now with this dismal aptitude football knowledge exhibited by AA does he deserve a renewed contract? Nyantakyi, take notice you are not suppose to pay any compensation to AA for breach of contract if he must be relieved of his post as national coach, because you were suppose to have waited till after the world cup. Hope Nyantakyi, you did that with no intention dupe Ghana. We are watching with very keen eyes.
