The legend Osei Kofi had made my day. This is what we have been saying all these years. Now all the so-called Serbian lovers and people with "obsession" of anything white should looked themselves in the mirror.

I PENSONALLY BELIEVE'S THAT IS THE MAIN REASON WHY THE WHITE COACHES CAME INTO GHANA AND AFRICA SOCCER AS A WHOLE.

If delivery is the key ingredient, why do African FAs appoint 'white' coaches who can't get even third division jobs in their own countries? Osei Kofi is damn right, many of our local coaches are better. We employ white foreigners because in our dark minds, 'white is better'. Let's trust our own talent for a change!

That's what I am talking about. Kwasi Appiah can deliver only we put our faith and learn from the previous coaches as Veteran Osei Kofi said.

Nobody can help Ghana to succeed it's up to us to change our brain and work towards united front. We need to get out from that colonial mindset of inviting the west to help us to succeed in every endeavor.

There are so many talented, educated individuals in the country however the PULL HIM DOWN syndrome is costing us a fortune. Let's refrain from tribalism and focus on Ghana and make every Ghanaian proud. During the world cup Ghana scored a goal against Serbia. Kwasi Appiah all excited trying to hug Rajaevic he pushed him away because he wasn't so proud and excited. That tells it all.

We should know who we are and be proud of who we are.

I don't know why but some people like very much what the Cape Verdians did with the stars in their jersey design.

Are we ready for the knockout phase of the tournament? Two games down and four more to go!

Morocco and Angola are the first to be in flight, heading back home now. Who wins morrow's match?

Is the present squad capable of ending the thirty-one years cup drought?

"We need players who can run for 90 minutes and over and they must never be selfish,” he said. According to the star player affectionately called the Midfield Dynamo or Midfield Generalisimo, the Black Stars team is good, but lacks creativity. He prayed that they will shun the one attacker strategy and adopt the 4-4-2 formation to be able to bang in more goals." - Adolf Armah.

Dan Agyei and Derek Boateng, have they justified their inclusion in the team.

Who makes the best coach for the Stars among the following:

Kwasi Appiah?

Bashiru Hayford?

Sellas Tetteh?

Desailly Marcel?

Can this Black Stars squad really bring home the cup minus Dede and Jordan Ayew, Michael Essien, Helegbe, Mahatma Otoo, and Mohammed Yakubu?

Yes! Yes! Yes! The Legend has spoken. The Wizard dribbler has spoken, the nimble footeer has spoken, the Legend who love his country, the Legend who put Ghana on top of the world and Africa, the Legend who for the love of his country turned down many contracts abroad has spoken, the Legend who can make goal scoring easy and simple that even the toughest and experienced defenders are afraid to face him. The list goes on and on. There is another player who can match this legend and that Polo the Legend from Accra Hearts of Oak. These two Legends are irreplaceable. These two Legends love their country, not selfish and made goals simple and easy to score; that is why it has been over 30 that Ghana has not been able to bring back the cup. We very much miss them. Soccer at its best when you see them play. God bless them for putting Ghana on the map.I believe there is gonna be another Legend to be born in the near future . Long Live Ghana.

Burkina Faso substituted their talisman Mumuni Dagano & whipped a hitherto impressive Ethiopian side, Ivory Coast dropped the untouchable Didier Drogba & beat Tunisia. Can clueless Kwasi Appiah be a bit adventurous & drop Asamoah Gyan at least in the first half of our game with Niger and see how far that adventure will take us?

Drop your inferiority complex!!! Its only people who lack self-confidence who always barks - "black this, white that. Come on... Just because a white man comes to coach our team, should not mean that he is better than us blacks. No white man is a better person than me. They might be good at some things I am not, & the other way round. It does not matter what skin color a coach has, as long as he is competent. Jesus!, stop these "racism" chants.

We need to invest in our own people!!!!! thats how we develop as a country. we hire farmers from serbia to coach our team, polish their the resumes and then they leave us so why can't we offer the same opportunity to our own??

That is the man, the best player Ghana has ever produced. We call him the wizard dribbler, Nigerians shiver at the sight of him, they call him the man with 3 feet. The Congolese run for cover when they saw him. The other one is Robert Mensah, why don't we show documentaries on them so that Ghanians can see and judge for themselves. I hear some old players and their fans trying to twist the truth about the past, but the fact is ROBERT MENSAH AND OSEI KOFI are the best players Ghana has ever had.

Osei Kofi is not the best player ever that Ghana has produce. He was great but not the best ever or the most talented ever in Ghana football. In his days that question was asked and answer came from our first Olympics games. If you know more about Ghana football you know what I am talking about. Check the answer in the National Newspaper that year. You want to learn? When Osei Kofi played for Hearts of Oak, he was not the best player for Hearts or Ghana, and even when he left for Kotoko, he was still not the best ever? If you say Robert Mensah was the best goalkeeper ever in Ghana, you are right about that, but he also was not the best player ever in Ghana, period. Who is one player who change the landscape of how soccer was played in Ghana? who brouhgt what we call "Body" into Ghana soccer? Abedi Pele is the most decorated player in Ghana, but can we say he is the best player ever in Ghana soccer? no! How many players in Ghana soccer have copied the play of Osei Kofi? Or how many have taken the name Osei Kofi as their football name?
How is one player that most Ghanaian greats have copied and use his name in Ghana soccer? Even the Golden boy, the Abedi Pele copied his style of play. The most talented player ever in the history of Ghana soccer, period! I think you should know who I am talking about!

Yes I do admire and support our coach 100% but this world of global village you never pick somebody because of the colour of his skin but results.America has a German as their national coach and other countries also have coaches from other countries.Yes if Appiah is getting the results why not.I respect the opinion of one of best soccer players Ghana has ever had but we need to relise that times has changed and soccer has become more scientific.Those days only Ghana,Ivory Coast,Tunisia,Nigeria and some few other countries in Africa and the world were really serious with soccer but now look all countries have and continue to invest big time into soccer and sports in general.Now just underrate any nation and you will end up with a pitty party.Thanks to our legend Osei KOfi for his great input but times have changed.

Man, I agree with you. That's what so far, the commentators I have listened to, are all talking about, that, Ghanaian players with their pedigree in football lose ball so easily, can't handle ball. That's why, during a game, we might think Ghana is playing well but when ball possession stats come on the screen our opponents are seen always leading on that. I think the coach needs to work on that.

BTW there was an improvement in the second half of our game against Niger. Our defence is a bit suspect. Needs to work on that too.

All the best to the Blackstars of Ghana.

Thank you Osei Kofi. To paraphrase your conditions for success =consistency & higher standards. Ghana was ranked 13th out of 32 countries that took part in the world cup in 2006. In 2010 we improved from 13th to 7th position. If Ghana can maintain its standards between major tournaments (by taking seriously all friendly matches) then what is on paper will translate into reality. Folks did you know that on paper experts such as Colm Larkin has predicted that Ghana could reach the semi finals in WC 2014 and even win the competition for two reasons 1) Ghana's 2009 U20 Championship team could graduate into and mature in the Black Stars 2) Ghana's 2010 world cup team will reach their prime by 2014. FIRST WE HAVE TO QUALIFY FOR THE WC 2014?

I totally agree with you. Ghana has no problem at all when it come to the 'pedigree' of players that we have. At this point I would say that "time will tell". Ghanaians don't play with their football. Sooner or later all the weaknesses of the system will fade or diminish. The process that was used to hire Appiah was not vigorous and transparent enough. If they really wanted a local coach, fine, but the process has to be competitive enough, with serious vetting so that coaches like Sellas Tetteh, Konadu ETC could all compete. In the end if AA wins, fine. We should not underestimate the power of football, and the LOVE that Ghanaians have for it. My only suggestion is that at this point AA should be given all the services that he needs so that he succeeds. Some of the problems are not AA'S MAKING, but if he would not solve them quickly, I know my people...Ghanaians will kick him out of office. It is as simple as that. AA already knows the consequence, if he should failure.

Setting aside good players because of politics is a shameful act
Bringing the cup to Ghana is our hope but just a dream until we are in the semi finals.Kofi you have been an old player for many years and during your time were good players of the nation removed or set aside because of politics.Until this kind of things are addressed in our nation's football association,we will never get any where.What coach Appiah has done to the Abedi brothers who are in their top form is a shameful act and he should apoligise to Ghanaians for making that huge mistake.These are some of the reasons why coaches in Ghana are expelled every two years Kofi.
Ghana is a single nation for us all.Ghana is for Ghanaians and not for one tribe of ethnic group or race.We are all one people under one nation and one flag in our mother land Ghana.If it was nepotism coach kofi was trying to exhibit then it was wrong and did not go well for all Ghanaians.If we fail to bring the cup to Ghana coach Appiah won’t be good enough to send the team to the world cup because he lacks the experience and the technical know how.In my view and new coach with more experience should found as fast as possible to safe the good image of our dear country from thwart coaches.

Ghana soccer has spoken. Everything you said Nana Wizard Dribbler is perfect. I am not against using any foreign players , but, the point is, Ghana, as a gifted nations in soccer, can win a lot of Cup of Nations without foreign players and coaches. Check our history. I always remember 1978 Cup of Nations. Listen to Nana Osei Kofi (Wizard Dribbler), because, when he speaks, it is soccer, when he vomit, it is soccer, when he snizzes, it is soccer, when he coughs, it is soccer. He is a blessed one in the history of Ghana soccer. Let us forget about the foreign coaches and concentrate on the local players and some of the foreign ones, but not those like he Ayews.

Rev Osei Kofi is very sensible. You bring in these European coaches who don;t do anything but collect heavy pay checks. They do not visit Abesim and find that those who football with green oranges in the streets can be good players if trained. the local coaches can do better jobs if encouraged. Look at the successes of coach Osam Doodo, Gyamfi,etc. Send Stephen Appia on a coaching course in Brazil/Germany to come back and help Ghana win competitions. Osei than you.
