I do not know much about football and that is why I do not personally write a lot about it. I can sit afar and tell you the colour of Yvonne Okoro’s underwear but I cannot even be sure which positions the players really play…
Even with my level of naivety, I can boldly say; Ghana’s coach-Kwesi Appiah is a disaster and showed the world that he was an inexperienced coach yesterday by not starting such an important much against the USA with his best 11.
When I used to play FIFA Playstation, I always made sure I selected the experienced players even though the level of play of anyone selected in a video game depends on the one holding the control pad. It may not be true but I always convinced myself that, the game manufactures would somehow have given the experienced and good players a tilt to win and that is why I always went in for them…
Yesterday’s match against USA was not a computer game but if I was asked to pick the damn players, there was no way I was going to leave Michael Essien and Kevin Prince Boateng out of the starting 11, and play Jordan Ayew and the others…
What was the essence of the coach’s decision to leave his most experienced and arguably best players on the bench to try Jordan Ayew—simply because he found luck and scored some goals against a side like South Korea in a friendly?
Did Jurgen Klinsmann play all his best and experienced players? Yes he did but we kept testing the game as if we were in training.
And which coach keeps playing Kwadwo Asamoah at the back? Was the coach blind to the fact that Opare and Christian Atsu were liabilities last night and didn’t have to wait till the game was almost over before changing them?
They always say the coach knows best, but this time I think we all agree that he forgot to do the best.
I believe if Kwesi Appiah had started Essien and Prince Boateng alongside Muntari and Gyan—and brought Kwadwo Asamoah into the midfield, the scores would have been totally different…
We lost a match that we could have easily won and it hurts. But somehow, I am damn HAPPY—-I pray Ghana comes on quick and does not even qualify for the next world cup. So we can stop wasting the little money the country has on supporters, already rich footballers and corrupt leaders. We can use the huge money we spend to fix our roads, build schools, build hospitals and more importantly, fix our power crisis.
I learnt my lesson from Ghana’s match against Netherlands and therefore, I did not place any BET last night. I can happily see my 10 pounds laughing out loud in my wallet now…
Terrible game by the Black Stars.They arent disciplined, they look like they went there to exhibit their stupid hairstyles because played with no sense of urgency.

hehehehehe very funny.. They couldn’t stand the u.s tho but they played well. Americans surprised us with their new skills. I believe this is just a wake up call they will do good in the next match.
Yea you are on point. We live to see
I am glad I did not waste my sleep to watch this game. I have also had problems to understand why a midfielder like Asamoah is always kept at the back. What for?
you should thank your God you slept off because the kinda heart break they gave me n3h was beyond some heart break i had 14years ago. They full of disappointments. They had the impressions that americans are easy so we got this but was a no no no. Americans played very well and nothing show’s they were easy on that field..
oh, u made it home on time? hmmm me dier am still heart broken. it hurts bad!!! but its all good
Made my hubby called ma work place lol using my baby as care. He called and said is urgent needs to be home because the baby’s temperature was running. lol so they asked me to go
Agree with you bro, just a waste of tax payers money. They are coming home next week.
Ghana has just gone to Brazil for four reasons;
1. Waste the taxpayer’s money.
2. Enrich already rich players and corrupt officials.
3. Only add up to the number of teams present.
4. Satisfy NDC sympathizers
Everybody need to shut up. it was nobody’s fault. the us got lucky. I still have faith in the BlackStars and believe they would advance to the next stage. Think positive guys
WHOEVER WROTE THIS ARTICLE IS THE BEST WRITER I KNOW
As much as I agree with the writer,I also think Americans had the chance to learn a little about the black stars through the friendly match they had with South Korea prior to the game.I also feel the black stars had too much confidence thinking Americans can’t play football.Overall I think the black stars played very well.after their second goal was like a favor on their side.
I hope they ve learned some lessons and would play well with the Germans.Wish them all the best!
Well the U.S used the two loss to learn new tricks. 2006 they scored a free goal with a loose defense and from what i saw yesterday i think that’s black stars weakness they should have a strong defense area also. Americans could easily beat Germany and Portugal if they use the same easy tricks they used yesterday. Football is about goals and win is a win. They won because they practice if our men will stop looking down on Americans and focus more on practice they could easily win next time too.
