Who are you to have to be won over by any coach. Why has the coach got to justify anything to you. Nonsense!

The Coach works for the GFA who represents Ghana Football. Every coach going to the world cup meets their FA to discuss their selection. It does not mean they can change the coach's mind but they have the right to question a coaches the rationale behind the coach's selection. In England they call it technical meeting.

Tactically, I think Jeffrey Schlupp's inclusion is a good one. He's a striker turned defender[left-back]and his performance in the English Championship has been brilliant this season. He could be the right player[natural left footer] to fill the Black Stars "weak" spot position in our defence. He could also help strengthen Ghana Black Stars attacking options. Jeff has been outstanding during Leicester City's qualification to the English Premier League.

Jeff was on trial at Manchester United for more than a month, where even played for the reserves and trained with the first team. He was highly rated by Sir Alex Ferguson. He's a great talent who could have been offered a permanent deal at Manchester United if Sir Alex Ferguson is still the boss.

I understand your point on Moses Armah's scepticism on Jeff Schlupp's lack of international experience to be selected by Akwasi Appiah. However, lets not forget most international stars burst on the World Cup scene as young exciting players with no international experience. Most national managers do select players as a surprise package. I believe Jeff will be valuable and outstanding for Ghana in Brazil.

JC IS STRONG, CONFIDENT AND CAN PLAY 2 SPOTS ON THE FOELD. STRIKER AND LEFT BACK. I THINK WE HAVENT SEEN THE BEST, AND HE MAY NOT BE VERY EXPERIENCED BUT HE IS CONFIDENT THATS FOR SURE. I HATE TO SEE HIM AT THE WCUP THO BECOS I THINK THE WCUP MAY BE TOO BIG FOR HIM, BUT HEY LETS WAIT AND SEE. I DONT THINK AA WILL DROP JC. HE NEEDS JC TO PARTNER WITH ADOMAH AND BOND. I ALSO DONT THINK SAMMY NKUM IS READY FOR THE WCUP STRICTLY BASED ON FORM. I MEAN U CANT PLAY 15 GAMES IN A POOR GREEK LEAGUE AND THINK YOU ARE IN FORM TO GO TO A WCUP, CAN YOU? NOTIN MY OPINION. WCUP IS NOT A PATRIOTISM COMPETITION.

I watch a lot of Championship games on DSTV and watching Schlupp (a striker converted into a left-full back), also a left- footed player, I said to my children, this is God's gift to Ghana and to Coach K. Appiah.

The coach has shown that, he had the benefit of observing at close range all the BS probables before making his final 26. So there cannot be much debate about the players selected or not selected. One would have wished Issac Vorsah and John Mensah were in the team for obvious reasons but if they are not in good shape, no one can begrudge the coach.
What is left now is good preparations.

As far as the situation is like it is now, that is,Vorsah being injured for that long and has therefore not played a single game this season or the 2nd half of the season.. whatever the case is, we will be better of without him in Brazil. In fact he would have been a bad debt for us if the coach had called him. Think positive and let's all give the coach and the players our maximum support to bring the nation the deserved honors.

Frank Acheampong was not invited, so stop the wishful thinking and let the coach do his Job. After watching both Frank Acheampong and Adomah on Youtube, I decided that Adomah is a better right wing player than Frank. I am a big fan of Frank Acheampong, and I was one of the first to start advocating his inclusion. The coach watched both of them, and also decided to keep Adomah, so I don't know what your problem is. Have you watched both players more closely than the coach? It's not just about skill. It's about getting the job done, and Adomah is one of our most effective right wingers at the moment, even though he is not my favorite player.

Both players have killer instinct.Accam shows more determination. Frank has more skills and flair. Accam has bulldozing ability and forcefull penetration of defenses. Frank plays with expert timing. In one clip Frank timed a volley from behind him, onto his head and into the goal.Like Messi, Accam shoots the ball as soon as he invades the penalty box. Accam fires the balls from eclipse such that the goalie can barely make a move to catch the ball. Frank has ability to deke a goalkeeper using Ronaldo of Brazil's moves. But Frank after a latest injury has not returned to full form. Just like Neymar. But Accam can do the job in Brazil in combination with Warris and Baby Jet.

So do you want the coach to replace Inkoom with Boakye Yiadom? They play very different roles, so Boakye cannot take the place of Inkoom.
Some of you think selecting a team is all about individual ability. Boakye is good, but the role he plays is the same role Asamoah Gyan and Kevin play. Boakye cannot replace any of those players. Boakye is not even better than Assifuah. Boakye might be better than Adomah, but he does not play in the right wing position, where Adomah plays, so he cannot displace Adomah. Jordan is a great player with great potential and the coach will be making a mistake if he drops him now, because he will not be available in the future when you need him. Sometimes, you need to create a cohesive atmosphere for the team to function the way it should, and that requires some tough choices and sacrifices.
