Strong team, is Essien not fit?
Let see what this team can do tonight
Rabiu is a hard tackling midfielder who will help the defense. Essien is Appiah's backup central defender, so Appiah might not want to risk injury to Essien at this point. Good selection!
This line up should have been on the bench for the real fire on June 16.
If we get a goal or two, he should quickly drop most of them and bring in our team B to play.
I am not happy at all.
Tell us the reason why bro?
It's true Appiah cannot stand pressure. So you listened to people like GH FUO and committed such valuable players for a friendly match ahead of the real fire less than a week from today? Wonders will never end! I am not happy ...

U WANT TO START DEDE, GYAN, KPB, KASA, MUNTARI...AA, SO IF ANY OF THESE PLAYERS SHOULD GET INJURED OR PICK A KNOCK. WHO WILL U RELY ON WHEN THE REAL DANCE BEGINS? EBEI?!...GHMMMM
No need to rush!
Please keep our players safe. Play them in the 1st half and bring the team B in
He had not used the friendly games well and this is his last chance to see the best players playing together.
So, he is just trying to correct his mistakes. I am happy with the exception of Essien not playing together with ...

He should have played Essien with Muntari to replicate the 6-1 thumping of the Egyptian team in Kumasi. You are right, we should try Essien and Muntari in the central midfield again.
Why didn't wimpy Appiah replicate that against Egypt in Cairo and against Montenegro?.
You wanted the Players to be killed in Egypt? Blackstars played smart in Egypt. Beating Egypt in Cairo was a dangerous mission.
We did not play that against Montenegro because we didn't want to expose our players to injury ...

Where is Kwaku Bonsam? What is he saying about he match.
IF U EVER WANT AN ARROGANT PERSON IN GHANA, DO NOT GO CLOSE TO AKWASI APPIAH. HE IS ONE OF THE MEEKIEST OR 'DOWN TO EARTH' PERSONALITY I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTED IN MY LIFE.
PLEASE, IF YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW ANY THING ABOUT CER ...

I know him recently with his cool nature and he smiles with great inner love to any person he meets. he came to Holland with open heart. He is really a servant to God & Ghana.

I used to play for a club and I really understand why we play friendly matches. I will always play my best and try to avoid unwanted injuries.
Coach Appiah has shown his hands too early but its ok if he pulls off most of these players from the game after 45 minutes of play. I will like to see Afriyie Acquah again.
I will also like to see Essien in the second half ...

I go play I go play, na for the field we go see am. I no wan hear any excuses after the match. You dey hear me so?.
for what he did at the Holland game
THAT'S NOT CORRECT! IT IS JUST A PLAN.
I think Kwesi wants to get a look at Essien at centre back in the second half. Boye and Jonathan didn't play against Holland, so they definitely need time as well.
Go Black Stars!
to work and gell with defense...appiah still prejudice against kwarasey
Well spotted on from Boss A.A...
Why is K. Asamoah at the left back? Doesn't make any sense to me.
You guys are always promoting lies..kasa was never used as a left back at club level..the old lady club knows defensively he is not very attentive..why are you guys always publishing false news.?
Why Asamoah at defence? Mister Appiah that is not good.
We need this guy's combative attitude in the midst of the PACK ...
???
But we need Kasa to support the upfront guys...hmmmmmm I don't like this at all...
Idiot, they knew you were available with your sense but chose AA so stop your lobotomized postings and suck your thumb and watch Coach AA as the retard you are, you moronic fool.
Thank you Sammy for putting that smelly fool in his proper place.
U AND AA HVE EVERYRHING IN COMMON. U MAKE RASH DECISIONS, ARROGANT, IMPATIENT N IMPULSIVE. NO WONDER U DONT SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS SQUAD VS KOREA. ANOTHER GH PLAYER WILL GET INJURED, U'LL SEE...

THE CAOCH HAS DONE A TACTICAL SELECTIONS, MY DEEPEST HOPE IS TO WIN THIS FRIENDLY MATCH WITH THE KOREANS, TRUIMPH OVER USA AND PROCEED FURTHER.NMHRK.
May God bless Ghana
EBEI? AT THIS STAGE?...TWEAA!
AA IS CLUELESS. COMSI COMSA COACH, WALANTULANZA COACH FRAFRA, BIARA BIARA...LOL. HE WILL BE TAUGHT A LESSON VERY SOON.
Inshah-Allah the black stars will be in finals and bring the cup home. It is the time for Africa.
Good luck guys... We pray that no injuries occurs today.... God bless u all
Am not a huge fan of Rabiu and I am hoping he impresses in this match. besides that this is a very strong squad.
i would have preferred playing K asamoah and ayew at left and right wing. and KVP and muntari in the center. ...

THE STARS MUST BEAT KOREA 3-1
Coach Appiah plays his best players yet. The Stars must beat S. Korea at least 3-1. They must shatter the US's new found self-confidence.
this is the best team to watch with the help prayer and luck the team can bring. the trophy back home
U HAVE ASSEMBLED NORTH/SOUTH PLAYERS. GH PLAYERS ARE NOT AS FAST...UP AND DOWN RUNERS LIKE THE KOREANS...LOL
