That is good to hear. They need to work on set pieces and also penalty kicks.

....not only the players, in fact all Ghanaians are dying of hunger. We need to get some sort of bragging rights this years, but the right decisions need to be made. Those that failed their medicals at their respective clubs are not fit enough at this mundial. Please select only the fit and on form players. God bless Ghana!!!

About that time of soccer season again... ...and I the prophet will be giving my accurate predictions again... do you guys remember 2010 South Africa where I accurately predicted Ghana vs USA... and also Uruguay? I accurately predicted Asa Gyan would miss a golden opportunity and also said the match will go into extra time... the last thing I saw and predicted was that we will have a black coach.... I nearly saw something today... was watching the (yet to be played) first match with the USA... the match was being delayed... there was something about Dede Ayew... I saw him with the referee... Stay tune for your accurate predictions... The prophet speaks!

ADVICE FOR AA
AFCON MULTIPLIED BY 3 IS WAT U WILL FACE IN BRASIL. SO U BETTER SIT UP N THINK OF STRATEGIES FOR EACH TEAM LIKE A CAT.
MY ONLY ADVICE TO YOU IS THIS...
1.TRAIN THE GH PLAYERS TO MOVE WITHOUT THE BALL. THEY R SO LAZY THEY ENJOY STANDING, WATCHING N WAITING FOR BALL.
THIS IS WHY GERMANY/OZIL BEAT GH 1 NIL BECOS THE GH DEFENCE WERE BALL WATCHING N OLELE WAS WATCHING THE GERMAN PLAYERS,INSTEAD OF THE BALL....LOL

2.MOVE THE BALL SWIFTLY, WITH PURPOSE AND DIRECTION.
MOVE THE BALL SWIFTLY FROM GOALIE TO RB TO RW INTO 18.
...FROM GOALIE TO LB TO LW INTO 18.
...FROM GOALIE THRU THE MIDDLE INTO THE 18...MOVE THE BALL SWIFTLY, AGGRESSIVE WITH PURPOSE.
UNTIL WE ARE COMFORTABLY IN THE LEAD WITH GOALS. DONT PLAY DILLY, DALLY WITH THE BALL IN DEFENCE AND MIDFIELD.

3.WATCH BARCELONA FC. EACH TIME A BARCA PLAYER GETS THE BALL.U SEE 2 BARCA PLAYERS ON THE LEFT N RIGHT IN A TRIANGLE SHAPE.
AA, JUST WATCH N YOU WILL SEE THIS STYLE IN THEIR MIDS AND STRIKERS. BY ADOPTING THE TRIANGULAR STYLE. U CAN DEFEND, ATTACK, PROTECT THE BALL N EVEN REPOSSESS THE BALL WHEN YOU LOSE IT.

4.THE PLAYERS MUST TRAIN AT DAWN/NITE TIME WITH LESS LIGHT.
THEY MUST WORK ON FREEKICKS, SET PIECES, PENALTIES, CORNERKICKS, GETTING THE BALL INTO THE 18..... ETC..
IF THEY CAN CONVERT SUCH PLAYS IN THE DARK. THEIR SUCCESS RATE IN CONVERTING THESE IN THE DAYTIME WILL BE MUCH HIGHER.
FYI: THIS IS HOW THE NEGRO BASEBALL PLAYERS TRAINED. TO HIT THE BALL AND PITCH AT TARGET.

5.2/3 TOUCHES ONLY. BREAK, CONTROL PASS
ONLY THE #10 AND #8 ARE ALLOWED TO DRIBBLE THE BALL

6.GOALIES MUST WATCH THE DAMN BALL AT ALL TIMES. U ARE NOT CATCHING PLAYERS, BUT THE BALL. SO WATCH THE DAMN BALL!

7.Start ur subs over ur starters to get a more balanced, DEPTH, CONFIDENT team.
AA MUST START ADAMS, NKUM, SCHLUPP, ACQUAH, ADOMAH, ACCAM,WAKASSO, JORDAN IN THE GAME VS THE DUTCH. THIS IS NO TIME TO BABYSIT.
JUST THROW THEM IN THE FIRE BECOS THE WCUP WONT BE FAVORING ANYONE.
against the dream team, we saw how inefficient accam, wakasso and boye were. u see, i wasnt bullshitting when i said they werent battle tested.
if you think im lying, start them vs the dutch n you will see...
in a 38 european calendar season, these players have playedless that 70percent for their clubs and dont deserve to go to a wcup in my opinion.
nkum..15games (drop him n bring in adusei)
boye...10games(drop him n bring in adusei)
jordan...less than 20 n still couldnt help his club escape relegation
wakaso...less than 10games
accam...less than 10 games thisseason. hasnt even played a full season in the swedish top flight to prove his abilities. these players are clearly not battle tested...

8. mental conditioning/confidence building and lifting weights is crucial in this tournamnt. the gfa should bring in jnr agogo to help the boys lift metal.
bring in a proven psychologist to constantly instill confidence in these players.

9.RIDE THE SPEED BIKE 30MINUTES BEFORE PRACTICE, 30MINUTES AFTER PRACTICE. THIS WILL PREPARE THEIR LEGS FOR THE GRUELLING DEMANDS OF THE WCUP

10.SUPERSTITIOUS AA!
He seems timid, embodies fear. He has inferiority complex and believes in things he doesn't even understand....recipe for destruction.
IN THE BEGINNING, NO ONE WAS THERE!
U want to play akaminko as rigHt back? Have u seen him play as a right back for his club all season? Kasa is a better leftwinger than dede. Use dede in the middle/STRIKER instead.
RESPECTABLE, DECENT HAIRCUTS FOR THE PLAYERS. NO MORE DISGRACEFUL MOHAWKS!
GOD DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS. GOD SEES YOUR FAITH, NOT YOUR CONDITION. CAN YOU RISE ABOVE?
STARS ARE MADE TO SHINE! DISCIPLINE AND DIGNITY IN EVERYTHING! GOD BLESS GHANA!

Aa, for your own sake..drop.these players. We need 4 strikers in brasil. Dede can be used as a striker if needed. Dede don't need jordan to be successful. He scored his first hattrick when jordan was on loan.

On what grounds should these 3 be dropped? Mad man, are you a coach? Have you been watching the boys train to know who should go and who should not? Your campaign against these 3 will fail. Your Boakye Yiadom did not get there so you have embarked on another aimed at destroying these young lads. You are not only crazy but you are filled with evil too. Do you think Akwasi Appiah thinks like you? Only people who speaks from the arse will be saying drop this drop that without watching them at training.Hope big shame come upon you very soon,

Don't worry my brother. This mad man has embarked on an evil campaign to undermine Jordan and Accam. But AA is not stupid as this oGHImifuo would like people to know. And Appiah will certainly be the last person to take an advice from such a mentally deranged person. The guy is in the final stages of mental illness. He would soon be sectioned or attack someone in the streets and would be locked up for good.

After watching Accam on the internet I don't blame him, because it is only a wimpy coach like Appiah who will invite him to black stars.

Essien and Jordan must be cut.If wakaso is healthy then he stays.I really don't think we need three keepers.We may end up just using one but just in case there is an accident we can keep a spare for that a.What is the spare third keeper for? Our midfield and wings are good now but we need to up grade the strikers.I have faith in Gyan and Waris combo.The opportunistic scorer K.Boateng can hover around but we need a third natural striker and Jordan is not it.I wish they had taken the versatile,tough and hard working Helegbe.

We can't go with 2 keepers. It is never done because it's a very risky job. It also exposes you to conspiracy. If they see that you are cruising through the group stage and they show your keeper a red card, do you take a player to be the standby keeper?
I don't see the coach dropping Jordan, unless there is a striker standby to replace him.

Let the players watch the WC 2006 games especially against Italy and Czech during their spare times. Let them watch those games as a group for it will motivate them to conquer the so called great teams.
Yesterday I watched USA vrs Aberz.. and USA won 2 nil but if USA plays against Ghana the way they did Ghana will score them 5 nil.

Nothing serious here. Just an observation.

This is a simple test. The Powerball is now over 150 million. Do you have any answer?
If you are not able to pass this test, you can't pass that of the Black Stars. Deal?

Soldiers go to war to defend the country and footballers on a national assignment play to bring gloryto the nation You are no different from the soldier on the battlefield
The hope of Ghana is on you.By the grace of God we must register our name on the world map
We have all that it takes to beat all the world soccer giants IF WE ARE ABLE TO LIFT UP THE CUP AT UNDER 17 AND UNDER 21 WHY CANT WE BEAT THEM NOW?Is it not this same kind of players that won at the juniour level?
Whatever be the case we have beaten the world before and we are going to do it again THEY ARE BREAD FOR US.
No complacency we must beat them well.After trouncing USA our next target is Germany.Germany must bow to Ghana and no matter what.When that which seems impossible to many becomes possible you will know that the BLACK STARS ARE FAVOURED TO WIN THE CUP
in the military if you make mistake somebody will take you and kill you.In the same way in soccer sometimes the mistake is costly
Avoid mistake at the same time lure your opponentsto make to mistake
