My fear is with the rash tackles, high boots play of John Boye. He scared me with his erratic and high octane exuberant plays. He is good but would like to see him as right back and Sumaila paired with Jonathan Mensah. I am s ...

My fear is with the rash tackles, high boots play of John Boye. He scared me with his erratic and high octane exuberant plays. He is good but would like to see him as right back and Sumaila paired with Jonathan Mensah. I am still confident the BS will shine

What game were you guys watching? KASA turned the ball over in the back at least 3 times and any side with better strikers would punish you with such mistakes. He is a good player but he makes silly mistakes players with a very low football IQ make. A perfect example was on display last night. Appaih better not play him in defence

First of all, K. Asamoah was not good in this match. He was indecisive and giving back passes most of the time. Also, the formation was not 3-5-2. There were 4 defenders not 3. Only a bad coach will play K. Asamoah as left fu ...

First of all, K. Asamoah was not good in this match. He was indecisive and giving back passes most of the time. Also, the formation was not 3-5-2. There were 4 defenders not 3. Only a bad coach will play K. Asamoah as left full-back. I will play him in midfield right behind the strikers if I were the coach. The Black stars need a left-full back in order to play 4 in the back because it is a total waste to use K. Asamoah as one of the back 4. It is hard to believe that Coach Appiah has not been able to find a left-full back for so long.

I think that K. Asamoah over elaborates on the ball a bit too much back there. His ball handling skills are impressive but he is always one mistake away from getting dispossessed. Against South Korea, he was fine but I am n ...

I think that K. Asamoah over elaborates on the ball a bit too much back there. His ball handling skills are impressive but he is always one mistake away from getting dispossessed. Against South Korea, he was fine but I am not sure if he will cut it against Germany or Portugal.

GHFUO...all of a sudden, you're as quiet as a silent-movie. Hmm. By their deeds, ye shall know them.

Inexperience coaching in the style and formation Ghana is playing would cost use this World Cup. K. ASAMOAH should be paired with Essien in midfield to be able to make penetrating passes for our attackers to score. With A. Ayew and P. Boateng playing the wings and A. Gyan as the main center forward. A. Badu or Muntari would do great playing left back with Inkoom as a right back. I see us playing bad against USA with K. ASAMOAH at left back, he is the only play maker we have.

Nonsense kwadwo was just ok and below average until moved into midfield. This stupid experiment in my humble opinion has retarded kojo's development. He's a natural attacking midfielder whose style of play mimic that of Messi yet, Juventus in a conspiratory attempt trying to alter the progress of a talented player in the name of versatility. Wake up Asamoah and smell the coffee.

KASA was not that impressive. He knows how to play that role but with well molded defenders and not this scrap of BS defenders. KA is not doing good to KASA at all for shifting him to the left back

Some people talk just to talk. How did Asamoah excel in the back? The defence was porous even to the short Koreans. The Koreans got their heads to higher balls than the Ghana defence. Then the keeper did not know what to do? Instead of picking air balls in front of players he does it behind them- what a Moron.

When a keeper decides to rush out and intercept a flying ball he must always do it infront of the players not behind them. If you cannot get infront of players stay in the goal and try to save there.

Iker Casillas of Real Madrid did the same mistake twice at the champion league and gifted Athletic Madrid a goal.

Ghana's keepers must be told this basic common sense. A keeper does not intercept behind- he puts his hand ahead of the players not behind their heads.

He was obviously not in high spirit because the left back position is not natural to him. In Juve, you see his deadly abilities whenever he attacks opponent's goal area so why use him in the back. He will be under utilized
