This is a good lineup built for speed.
GOOD LUCK TO BOTH TEAMS. .AND NIAJA..

USA pucked Ghana 1 within 30seconds of the first half. How pathetic?
Remove boye ASAP!
Why????
What a bunch of pridefooooooooooools!
bad luck and the evil negative vibe of pepeni and ndc have killed the winning spirit
shit coach
hahahahahahahahaha,i knew my dream will never fail,thank u papa GOD.
I told you so. We are out of the tournament. How stupid is it to camp in miami and expect to beat USA. No winning bonus for Afriyie Ankrah. Let's use the money to solve the electricity issues instead.
There is something fishy about that Miami camping with Boateng Gyan, Yamin, Afriyie Ankrah and all these politicians hovering over the players.
All these idiots could have been bought with the beautiful "senoritas" from Cu ...

Is this coach telling us he cannot bench Asamoah Gyan, Sulley, and Essien? The little lads can win these games for us. These old guards were a liability to us, period!
We lost because of the school boys the coach pick ahead of the better players.
Where is the power of that Ghana juju man, Kwaku bosam or whatever.
African champs my ass!!!
Ghana juju vs US atomic bomb, which one is powerful? Your guess is as good as mine. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
BEST OF LUCK NEXT TIME. GHANA WILL PROVE THE WHOLE WORLD WRONG AGAIN. BOD BLESS OUR HOME LAND GHANA. KWASI APIAH I AM PROUD OF YOU. I KNOW WE SHALL SURE CROSS OVER TO THE NEXT STAGE

If you think Ghana has a bad goal keeper, wait until Fatua mans the goal. Good luck Ghana.

We were just unlucky to lose. The Players played their hearts out. They had more than 65 percent possession, we just couldn't score. Hopefully we find our scoring boots against Germany.
Could you please define for me who is a nigger or are you merely regurgitating a word used by by your "white masters" to describe black people wherever we come from?

I watched the game with my husband, hoping for Ghana to at least tie. Too bad they lost this game.
He should have started with our best players.
So if Ghana doesn't win then what? I think it's a stupid line up. Jordan has not proven in the Ghana squad to be in the starting 11. That guy was assisted in all the 3 goals against S. Korea and besides him scoring the goals ...

Old John Kuffour was able to beat USA.
Old John Mills was able to beat USA.
Young and energetic John Mahama has been beaten by USA. Mr. John Mahama WHYYYYYYYYYY
This stupid coach always do the same thing ,put a player like boateng on the bench even agyman badu
Brother, then you don't know soccer.
for where
john boye is all we have ? If Ghana score 20 our opponent will score us 21 because Boye is a waste and Opare can even get the ball to his teammates
stupid squad. With such complacency we are going nowhere
Any reason why you think the selection is not good?

i was indeed right, now we are going home
You were right on the money. Complacency killed the cat. The coach should have started Afful on the right, and Steven Adams in post plus Essien and Kevin.
This is a good squad. We need to match the Americans speed in the beginning. Only bring in more experience (Essien, Boateng) when you need to kill off the match.
I don't think he needs to play Sulley and Atsu at the same time in the midfield. These two guys are lazy and that will put more pressure Rabiu and Dede.
there must b a change so Ghana
ians kan make it
I think looking at the play of other countries so far, this selection is good.
This selection is perfect!
Idont trust this goal-keeper
I believed in our national team the Ghana Black Star, wish them good luck.
How Appiah can field bench warmers and half fit players. Danger is looming folks.
why match their speed? You need a reliable defensive midfielder like Acquah to slow them down in midfield. Rabiu is dangerous with tacles and this could be a free penalty for the US
Rabiu is not fast. I'm sure aa is using him to compensate for his aerial ability. I will rather drop boye and use rabiu as the 4. Bring acquah to play the 6. The twin Towers of sumaila/mensah and rabiu should counter all aeri ...

Who told you that Essien and KPB can't play 90mins? If they are not ready or don't have that stamina what do you think they can do after we are down by 1 or 2 goals?
How many minutes did Drogba play?
What is your point?
BY THE GRACE OF GOD GHANA WILL WIN AMEN
I agree with you 100000000000000000000%
THAT HAS BEEN MY PREDICTION SINCE YESTERDAY,IN THE MORNING,I WOKE UP.
How do you win 3-0 when you are down 0-1 at the half? The boys are playing tidy football. They just need a little more composure around the box.
Where is KPB
Coach Kwasi Appiah is the right man to select the line-up because he knows the players best. Both Atsu and Jordan are young players on the rise. My prayer is that they seize the moment and announce themselves in a big way.
Well lets wait and see...maybe Jordan can use his speed against the left back...but so could KPB
This is good. Essien, KPB will come inn as subs. Just look at how Drogba was used.
Ask Mourihno and Seedorf, they will tell you how bad Essien's situation is. No manager will give this man 40 min, it's a very high risk!!
We are behind u guys praying its is well
No essien he is the best passer from deep mid
This game is going to be more about speed and stamina and very manly.It is never going to be over until the last whistle because they are coming in as wounded lions with every second very precious.

Ghana will defeat USA by 2 goals to zero
M.E. & PB should have been included. 16 years of combined experience should not be wasted.
Nigeria cannot get out of their group. Arg and Bosnia will be through.
It is scary to start Jordan because he has proven nothing. Where is Majeed and Kevin?
This line up is just like Mahama's Ministers. They can't get you results only insults! Jordan only needs the last three minutes of every game. Oh Kwasi Appiah, you really let your pants down.
Akwasi Appiah, just because Conte uses Kwadwo Asamoah in defense you follow suit eh. Kwadwo is the most enterprising player going forward. Ghana is not going anywhere just because of this daft coach.
now, you guys should all keep quiet and let us watch the match in peace!!!
Thank you. That is all I will say for now.
I told you guys before the match that Kwasi Appiah has selected guys who can not bring results but rather insults. Ghana can not qualify even if we had drawn. Murther fukers

Now USA cannot get that chance again
Ghana will beat USA
They came ready and well prepared. The goal was fast. We all have to pray for our Black Stars. Why is KPB on the bench? What is going on?
Something funny--for benching Essien
What a very poor performance in the first half!!!!!!!Ghana wake up!!!!!!
Thank God they are being beaten there will be no embarrassing dance on the pitch
People who promoted Jordan, this useless player got what they wanted....they will be beaten.
Just look at the chance he missed. A player does well in one match and you are going to experiment him on a big stage.

Atsu and Opare were so immature. Passes were not done with purpose. Atsu wasted too many balls that should have been passed to his teammates.
AA needs to be sacked not staring KPB is inexcusable, as soon as he came on we had an extra spring in our step. But tbh we still were shakey at back with Opare. Is AA telling me there is no other better player than D. Opare?

Akwasi Appiah, why did you put Essien and Kevin on the bench to start the game? Don't you think that you have to start with your best players, score goals, boast the morale before you can then try players like Jordan, Atsu, ...

GHANA WE HAVE PROBLEM TODAY THE DEFENCE IS BAD.
It is not over yet.Trust me we shall come out of the group stage to the next stage. I know people will doubt me but take this from me.
THE REMOVAL OF RABIU CAUSE OUR DEFEAT
My son is a high school soccer coach and he told me the same thing. First goal was caused by Muntari. Afriyie Acquah should have started instead of Muntari. Essien is finished...
Ghana is a big disappointment...just another good for nothing African countries that can't win the big game when it matters!
jon mahama is a BAD Luck presiden. he is a thief and should not have been involved in sending the players to Brazil.
Kwesi Appiah should be fired right away Whyhe did not replace ATSU? HE WAS OUR DOWNFALL
Boye is not an intelligent defender. The defense is horrible. May be we should prepare our return ticket home because are we going to beat Germany or Portugal?
Afful should have started on the right not Opare. At least the team that beat Korea should have been maintained.
Ghanaians always want to CHEAT. The player who cost the corner kick knows that he was the last player to touch the ball and if he is honest he would have kicked the ball before corner was given. Being a Dishonest Ghanaian he ...

Now look at what cheating has done to us. An honest footballer will know that he is causing a corner kick and will always try to save it Not a Ghanaian Cheating doesn't make us smart

So the GFA bosses can go and deposit their stolen and ill-gotten monies in the us banks and buy some expensive suits.

akwasi appiah lacks proper judgement. in world cup you secure your 3 points by putting your best players on the field. fools die for want of wisdom
Where is Yamin and the NDC foolsoldiers who have caused this mess? This was a game for us to use to proceed to the next stage.
You are 100% right.

We need to pass the ball a bit more instead of just sending hopeful crosses into the box. Crosses must be aimed at a target forward or played into space for a forward to latch onto. All our crosses were too high - we should h ...

Opare has never played in the world cup before. Even in the friendlies he didn't play any of the matches yet in our first match of the tournament, you go and put him in there? And he calls himself a coach. Atsu is even worse
You are right about Opare but wrong on Atsu. He missed some chances like all the forwards but he was very effective on the right flanks in breaking the USA defense down.

He lost the game for us. He was out paced by the Americans. We have no defense. I miss Pensil and John Mensah. We should not play Kevin P.B again. His heart is not in the game.

Precisely what i was thinking. Every team in the world cup always field experienced and best players first but this lunatic coach decides to play inexperienced players instead. How stupid is that???
