Ex-Ghana FA chief Tamakloe goofs by blasting Kwesi Appiah's 24-man squad as ‘excessive’
Posted On Monday, 18th March 2013
Ex-Ghana FA boss Nyaho Tamakloe has hit hard at coach Kwesi Appiah for calling 24-players for this weekend’s World Cup qualifier against Sudan describing it as ‘excessive’ but has ended up exposing his ignorance.
Tamakloe, a controversial former FA boss who comments on everything, made the comments to a newspaper even though FIFA rules state that 23 players must be named in the team’s satarting line-up for World Cup qualifiers
The Ghanaian trainer announced a 24-man squad last week for the tricky tie against the Nile crocodile.
The former FA capo is unhappy with the pool of players invited for the game at the Baba Yara stadium.
“That’s too large, a squad of 24 players for one match. My argument is that the technical team are just doing try and error hoping to get right? Tamakloe told 90 Minutes newspaper
“Why 24 players? If you know the players and those that can play, why assemble this large numbers when you won’t have even a week to train together?
“I hope Kwesi Appiah knows what he is doing because to me a squad of 24 players is too large.
“To me, there no seriousness, you just finished a tournament and you still don’t have your team.
“Now just a week to just one World Cup qualifier, you’ve named 24-man squad including four newcomers.
“Let’s see what they can do but I have my fears about certain things.”
Despite making these comments, FIFA rules state that for World Cup qualifiers countries must use 23 players for the matches with 11 starting and 12 on the bench.
The wisdom in Appiah calling 24 players became apparent on Sunday night when midfielder Christian Atsu suffered injury ruling him out of the game in Kumasi, leaving the squad with 23 players.
All the countries playing in the weekend’s qualifiers have called up m0re than 23 players with Ivory Coast inviting 28 stars for their match excluding Didier Drogba.
The Black Stars are trailing leaders Zambia by three points and must therefore negotiate the tie to put their campaign back on track.
Squad:
Goalkeepers: Adam Kwarasey (Stromsgodset, Norway), Fatau Dauda (AshantiGold), Daniel Agyei (Liberty Professionals).
Defenders: Harrison Afful (Esperance, Tunisia), Yaw Frimpong (TP Mazembe, DR Congo), Richard Kissi Boateng (TP Mazembe, DR Congo), Baba Abdul Rahman (Greuther Furth, Germany), John Boye (Rennes, France), Jonathan Mensah (Evian, France), Isaac Vorsah (Red Bull Salzburg, Austria), Awal Mohammed (Maritzburg United, South Africa)
Midfielders: Emmanuel Frimpong (Fulham, England), Rabiu Mohammed (Evian, France), Emmanuel Agyemang Badu (Udinese, Italy), Kwadwo Asamoah (Juventus, Italy), Sulley Muntari (AC Milan, Italy), Christian Atsu (FC Porto, Portugal), Wakaso Mubarak (Espanyol, Spain), Solomon Asante (TP Mazembe, DR Congo), Albert Adomah (Bristol City, England)
Strikers: Asamoah Gyan (Al Ain, UAE), Abdul Majeed Waris (Spartak Moscow, Russia), David Accam (Helsingborg, Sweden ), Mahatma Otoo (Hearts of Oak)

The Ivory Coast team is a 28 man squad,nkwasiasem akwa.
Hahaha confussion in Pink stars camp.nile crocodile will eat u alive
Is Tamakloe a coach? What did he do when he was GFA chairman. Of late he has become known for his useless talks. No wonder he achieved nothing for Ghana as Chairman.
Look Cote D’Ivore with their stars called 28 man team for the WC qualifier and the legend Drogba was not called.
Kwesi Appian called 24 and as at now two are injured leaving 22. Yet this useless talk man Tamakloe is making news out of it.
Tamakloe must simply shut up and allow the coach to do his work. Useless man.
Akwasi Appiah has just shown that he is far more intelligent than this Tamakloe man who calls himself a Medical Doctor. Shame onto him for attacking the Black stars coach. He and his underworld detractors, the Ayews, Essien and KPB, motives would come to nought. A BIG SHAME TO ALL OF THEM.
All are useless Gay stars of Ghana.mercenaries money lovers.we will fuck you in kumashit pitch in ur own backyard.Ghana will flop forever.up Sudan!
The Chimp-polo-polo are useless dogs and their heads are like apes and Baboons! When you come to Ghana you will feel the real Chipolopolo in your brain if you bark like that!!
@king,u n tamakloe can both suck my Dick till I come.foolishness.
@kuukuphilly am not a Ghanian Gay
N/B 32years afcon drought to be extended to 34years in morrocco 2015.cos nigeria,cote d ivoire cameroon or Egyptwill win it 2015.NOW CRY ME A RIVER.
Tamakloe has really shown that he has not matured since his childhood days in soccer. He has never proposed any solution since I’ve heard his name. All he does is to distractively criticise. We are tired of your whining ATAME KOLO. Maybe you should had been in school. Grow for I would be shy if I were your son.
A SQUID LIKE THIS MAN. WHO ASKED FOR HIS ROTTEN OPINION. AND FOR AN ARSE LIKE KING HOVERING AROUND THE SITE TO WRITE TRASH, ZAMBIA IS NOT GUARANTEED A WIN IN LESOTHO AND NOT TO TALK OF SUDAN WHEN YOU FORWARD LINES STRUGGLE TO SCORE A GOAL. I’VE ALWAYS BEEN SAYING THAT LAST MATCH IN KUMASI WOULD BE BORING BECAUSE ZOMBIES WOULD FALTER BEFORE THEN. CHEAP POLIO POLIO
@snow demon ur shit stars of Ghana beat lethoso 7-0.match been delayed 45min.Ghana vs zambia match in Kumashit stadium will be the group decider.zambia will score first in own stadium while asamoaning Gay will be dancing azonto
My prediction.zambia will go 2ru
M W L D Pts
Zambia 6 4 0 2 14
Ghana 6 4. 2. 0. 12
Sudan. 6. 3. 1. 2. 10
Lethoso. 6. 0. 2. 4. 2
YOU WILL FEEL A CHIPOLOPOLO IN YOUR BRAIN IF YOU COME TO gHANA WITH THAT ATTITUDE YOU BANTU APE!!!
You will never qualify for the world cup which your big big jerseys and your apish players!!
Nyaho Tamaklo is a confused person.Now that Atsu & Frimpong are injured,we are left with 22 players.Kwesi Appiah is more sensible than Dr Nyaho Tamaklo.
THE LEAST SAID ABOUT THAT TAMAKLOE THE BETTER. HE IS A TRIBALISTIC IDIOT!
KING TELL ME WHO WOULD SCORE THE GOALS BECAUSE AFTER 2 GAMES, ZAMBIA HAS A GOAL. AND THE SCORER AS THE SAME AGAINST UGANDA IS OUT OF TASTE. DON’T TELL ME EMPTY HEADED MBESUMA OR OVER HYPED KALABA. NEITHER IS IT SOUTHAMPTON JERSEY WASHER MAYUKA OR CONFUSED CHANSA AND SINKALA. FWAYO, TEMBO AND KOLA ARE NOT VEXED FOR THIS. MAYBE I JUST FEAR MUKAKA. BUT HIS BROTHER IS SHIT IN UTRECTH. SO WHO WOULD SCORE MAYBE MWEEN FOR A CROOK PENALTY FOR WHICH EVEN GOD KNOWS CAN NEVER HAPPEN HERE. DON’T BE A DICKHEAD CHOTA
@snow demon homie which crook penality are u talking about or are u jealous we have d best GK in africa in form of Nweemeeeeee.mark my word Zambia will score first in kumasi and silence d home crowd ur Ghana will be searching for equalizer and chipolopo will add anoda 1 making 0-2 scoreline and qualify for last round of wc qulifier.
After this setback Ghana football will be anonymous again like in d 1990s and in early 2000s.until u ash stars bow to zambia
You are a Bantu APE!!! Nuff said! That is embarrassing enough! you should be ashamed to be here you son of a whore.
The problem of Ghana is that 97% of your senior national team players are Gay mercenaries(money lovers)until this set of player is axed from d national team ghana won’t win any trophy.
You are a Zambian ape! Or a Nigerian DOG! Keep barking and your neck will become a rest spot for our BOOT!!!
We need ppl wth great expertis to keep evaluatng prformances on track at all tim bt it looks as if Mr Tamakloe does that at whims nd capricosnes to the prsnal detrimnts of his own credibility.once a footbal admin,ought to understnd that call ups/campng is nt only 2 selct playrs bt also a playrs worksop,seminars that acquaints old nd new recruits 2 de traditns,cultre,technicalitis nd de mentality of a playng body.playrs given such opprtunity at early age more often bcomes a valuable asset 2 de game e.g Polo,Abedi Pele, Stephen Appiah,Brazil Ronaldo,Cristiano Ronaldo,Eto all introducd to early national camp bcame great assets to their nation nd wrld footbal at large.Lets allow the principles of the game to flow rathr than being a critique avalanche.lets allow AA to build relationship wth more playrs nd make thm familiar to our ways of doing thngs.Such is a great investmnt nd mst b applauded by all.
All the player u mentioned are great player.u can’t compare them with The ”GAY LOVER” u hv in Ghana
Keep talking like this and see what we do to your ape players in Ghana! You are going to think it’s a joke till they no longer remember your name!!!
Guys why r u waistng ur enegy on Zambia King.Dr Nkrumah picked Mr Kaunda at Aucklandpark to serv him frm Lusaka.Nkrumah eductd theit fathers in maths,english, ecomics nd science.We stil need to teach them footbal again as it seem to b now.Ghana is lookng forward to bcome the next pope in the wrld,nd nt hw to go to the frst wrld cup.stop waistng ur tim on zambia king guys.
