Re: asamoah gyan

I have always been a fan of Gyan, from the first time I saw him play for Ghana at the 2004 Olympic games. He has so much character and confidence, without necessarily being over-confident. He has endured a love-hate relationship with Ghanaian fans over the years. He packed his bags and was ready to ...

Re: WILL JORDAN AYEW RECEIVE THE SIASIA TREATMENT?

It was really painful after seeing Jordan miss that chance, since I feared it was going to come back and haunt us. He is one player who has divided opinion a lot amongst Ghanaians. Some people wouldn't have even picked him to be in the squad, but he made a strong end to the season with Sochaux and e...

Re: [GRP G] GHA 1 V USA 2 (FT)

This group is far from over. Ghana lost to the worst US team we've played against at the world cup. Klinsmann has built a well organized team with lots of grit and motivation. They lack the talent and the depth. Despite winning against Ghana any neutral observer can notice that they were very poor. ...

Re: African Coaches Are Lagging Behind

These guys were proudly representing our continent, and they needed to perform in order to give other local coaches a chan...

Why such a lack of top level left footed Nigerian players?

It occurred to me that despite Nigeria being a formidable soccer nation in Africa, you have hardly produced top level left footed players. It's a curious observation. In recent years, Emmanuel Amunike is the only such top level player that comes to mind. Another Nigerian left footed player I liked f...

Re: WILL GHANA GO INTO OBLIVION AGAIN?

Now that it has been determined that Ghana have failed to qualify for the next World Cup, the question is how long will it take for them to recover. For around 4-5 years they have had arguably the best midfield in Africa. However they failed miserably due to lack of creativity and negative football...

Re: Asamoah Gyan will do well in the English game

I have been waiting for a while for Gyan to make a switch to the EPL, and I am glad he finally did. I wish him all the best and I do think he will be a success. He has been bashed quite a lot in his career, by our very own Ghanaians in the past. I have seen in him develop into a much better player, ...

Re: FOR SPAIN TO BEAT GERMANY

For Spain to beat Germany they need to watch the Ghana-Germany game. So far I think Ghana was the only team that was able to contain and match the Germans quite well; should have ended in a draw if not for the individual brilliance of Ozil. Even though Serbia beat Germany, they were helped by the re...

Re: German tactics....

Germany def plays a good counter-attacking game. But what makes them successful is that they are not just a counter-attacking team. They know how to hold on to the ball and move it well. Only one of their goals against Argentina was actually from a true counter-attacks. The major difference between ...

Re: Why what Suarez did wasn't "cool"

There are pivotal events that lead to rule changes. I do believe that the Ghana-Uruguay incident should lead fifa to further evaluate one of their rules which should probably been changed long ago. Soccer has evolved over time with the rules changing continuously: the offside rule, giving three poin...

I think the commentators got it wrong. Yellow cards are wiped out going into the quarter finals. That's the new fifa rule; someone correct me if I am wrong. Ayew should be able to play in the quarters.

The frontline remains weak. Besides that, a good squad. I feel more comfortable about our frontline than I did at the last wc. Asamoah Gyan shouldered a lot of responsibility as a 20 yr old at the last wc. He is more matured now and is coming off from quite a good season at Rennes (despite some inj...

Despite Essien's injury this is still a very strong squad. For once most Ghanaians seem satisfied with a Black Star list. Personally I would have dropped Rahim Ayew for Laryea Kingston. Overall it seems Milo evaluated the players well in camp and had the guts to drop old guns like Laryea and Eric Ad...

Re: Ballack Slap of KP Boateng has caused him the World Cup

No player deserves to miss the world cup because of a slap but I don't think that's the case with Ballack. Boateng's tackle was a hard one but from what I saw I don't think it was meant intentionally to hurt Ballack, but more likely badly mistimed. The yellow card was appropriate. He was apologetic ...

Re: 5 reasons why Prince Boateng should not go to the WC

Boateng will be fine. I have watched the kid this season enough to know that he is a baller. He was even a doubt for this game due to an ankle injury, but still managed to play. I don't think he was 100% fit so I am not surprised we didn't see him at his best. Yet still he gave a good account of him...
