There was confusion in the Black Stars camp yesterday as foreign-based players dropped officially, stormed the team’s training session with claims that they are Ghanaians and eligible to play for their country. Italian-based Stephen Appiah and Muhammed Gargo arrived from Europe to the camp and demanded that coach Cecil Jones Attuquayefio explain why he omitted their names from the list of players that would take on Super Eagles of Nigeria in one of the matches they considered very crucial on the road to Japan/South Korea.

“How could a coach just decide to rule us out of the national team? Does he wants to say that it is basically our fault that we have lost some matches? Honestly, like every Ghanaian, we want to play in the World Cup and have never done anything deliberate to hinder this dream,” he declared.

According to a Ghanaian Journalist, Bayern Munich’s defender Samuel Ossei Kuffour also informed Ghana Football Association (GFA) THAT HE WOULD ARRIVE ON Wednesday (yesterday) night, explaining that he had been held back by Bayer’s Champions League match against Lyon on Tuesday. However, Attuquayefio has the support of the Minster of Sports who has admitted that Ghana was out of the race for the sole ticket of the African Group 2 qualifying series in his decision to thwart the foreign-based player’s dream of squaring against the Eagles but most Ghanaians were unhappy that the Stars’ exclusion was carried across board rather than a selective one.
