FORGIVE ACHEAPONG SOUL
WHY DONT YOU FULFIL THE PROMISES GIVEN TO MOHAMMED POLO AND OTHERS TO WIPE AWAY THE CURSES ON THE BLACK STARS.
If I should agree with this no-nothing-man, then why do we won 1982 in Libya while we has spiritual problems from 1978? This man is very trickiiiish. I knew very well where this man is going, after the fulfilment, he will the ...

What is wrong with you guys. Ah.?
Osei Kofi has nothing to say. If God were to play football, we'll have pastors as coaches.
Oh Rev Osei Kofi, do you really read the Bible?
I agree with you MAYOR.
This so-called Rev is a man of bitterness. Listen to him when he speaks and you get nothing but rancour and insults.
Osei Kofi is the reason why the old players are not getting anything from the FA. ...

CHECK NYANTAKYI'S ACCT BEFORE HE BECAME GFA HEAD AND NOW. NYANTAKYI SHOULD GIVE SOME OF HIS ILL GOTTEN BREAD TO THESE PLAYERS. DO IT HONORABLY.
The promise MUST BE FULFILLED! The then players MUST BE GIVEN WHAT THEY HD BEEN PROMISED, whether dead or alive so that their spiritis will be in peace and will forgive the National Team!
Mr Journalist kindly check this "The former Accra Hearts of Oak player who was joint top-scorer in the 1965 Nations Cup finals has questioned the Ghana FA boss claims of psychological problems."
He started his top flight soccer at Hearts.
It was Hearts which unearthed him from his Koforidua base after which he became and star and moved to Kotoko.
Awuley Quaye was the de facto captain but since he lost his right half back position to "Disco Face"Isaac Acquaye,"Golden Boy" Abdul Razak was the captain in default.I vividly remember "The dribbling Professor"Mohammed Ahmed ...

polo played in all the matches
you have a lot of facts except that polo played in all the matches and actually scored a goal against burkina faso and ended up as tournament's best outside left.
awuley quaye was active as a left full back and captain.
Awuley Quaye was the captain.He lost his Central defending(#5) position to Kuuku Dadzie.Awuley Quaye did not play right half back(#4).He was shifted to the left full back(#3) positon. Do you remember when he came face to face ...

Dan Oppong played right back and was voted best defence player in Africa.
Wrong. Adolf lost his position to Kyenkyenhene. Has nothing to do with Injury.
Apiah Kubi you are spot on with facts. People like you should replace the latter day 419 apprentices impersonating as sports journalist in Ghana.
I thought he played for Kotoko,i am surprised please get your facts correct
Hey, the is correct. Osei Kofi did play for Hearts of Oaks before he joined Kumasi Asante Kotoko.
Yes, Osei Kofi did play for Hearts Of Oak
you think Ghana is the only country God created,have you seen Israel national football team playing at world cup before, if football is a spiritual game.we will always be last because we want God to come and play for us.
HE'S NOT SAYING ABOUT CHRISTIANS' BELIEVE, THE SO CALLED GOD OF ISRAEL, THE SPIRIT OF ABRAHAM AND SO ON. HE'S SAYING ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO FELT CHEATED, THEIR ANGER CAN STOP THE BLACK STAR FROM WINNING.
So England's failure to win anything after 1966 world cup is also spiritusl,right? Let's get real and admit we are not good enough,especially in South Africa. The world cup squad was excellent,but we sent a pub team and the c ...

Osei Kofi is a former Asante Kotoko player and NOT Hearts, Mr. Reporter. Check your facts before reporting,
It was Hearts which unearthed him from his Koforidua base after which he became and star and moved to Kotoko.
Stop talking Nonsence.
K Milla,you are the best.I think he wants to be an official Bishop for the Black Stars?"Na Morni".he wants something small to chop!!
Sir if really is spiritual then why dont you organize a spiritual program for the black stars
IT'S THE NATION WHO HAS APOLOGISE AND GIVE BACK WHAT THEY PROMISED THE PLAYERS.
With all due respect, Mr. Rev. O. Kofi I cannot agree with you. Have you forgotten that Ghana were winners in 1982?
We Ghanaians always focus on the African cup and from that standpoint assess the achievements of the BS.But from my own subjective assessment,reaching quarter-final in the WC is valuable than winning the AFCON.Do you agree?
Yes it is unfortunate that a corrupt leader like that could not even live to his promises, by rewarding those selfless players who brought glory to the nation. It may be possible that all funds were made available to fulfill ...

I think some of our leaders in authorities ONLY THINK OF HOW TO FILL THEIR GARGANTUAN STOMACHS AND NOT THINK ABOUT THE WELFARE OF THE CITIZENRY. It is about time they realise this canker and put a stop to it immediately.
Non fulfillment of government promise is also not spiritual. We need both spiritual and psychological solutions in addition to hard work, commitment and dedication to national duty to succeed. The government must fulfill prom ...

As for Rawlings,the least said about this molato con man the better!
I think there is a spiritual cause of the BS's failures but for different reasons from the Rev's.

I realise that Osei Kofi has a lot of pent-up feelings as evidenced by his effusions on radio stations. If the problems of the Black Stars are spiritual he should help eradicate them. Is he not a reverend minister?

THAT IS NOT TRUE OSEI KOFI-
psychology is more powerfuul than evil spirit , excerpt GODS POWERS- and God dont play football
None of the above holds.
Nothing spiritual, nothing psychological.

if you have a lot of players who can't string passes accurately, who can't control balls very well, who cant be quick on the ball, don't expect to win a cup
YES, OSEI KOFI PLAYED FOR HEARTS BEFORE JOINING KOTOKO WHERE HE BECAME KNOWN AS THE "WIZARD DRIBBLER", "NIMBLE FEET", "ONE-MAN-SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA" AND SO ON. HOWEVER SINCE THE SPIRITUAL PROBLEM IS ALSO A CASH OR ESTATE HOUSE ...

Have they promised any pastor, spiritualist, or a fetish priest?
Papa Sofo, let the spirits do their thing and let the sports psychologist do their own. Cos one plus one equals to two .Amen.
these fake men of God, they think incompetence is spiritual, that's why they don't try to apply knowledge and wisdom to solve any problem.
You took the words out of my mouth.. What complete and utter bullshit!!!
WATER, LIGHT, SANITATION,BAD DRIVING, LAZY TO THINK AND MAKE CONSTRUCTIVE PLANS ARE ALL SPIRITUAL?

There is only one God ...ALLAH!!!
come to ghana 2008 rev kofi is no one tell him have he bath after toilet
Oh Rev, with all respect, this one di33, I don't think this is true. It is purely mismanagement. Our FA lacks managerial skills and they are only mindful of the senior team which it totally wrong.
