You Ghanians telling Zambians that their best players play for TP Mazembe. I see most of your players playing for similar clubs and none selected from the English Premier League. I think you are beginning to learn not to be big headed.
the EPL is not the only league in the world, the players that you guys DO have in Europe never get on the field, ours do, so stfu
There are many Ghanians in the EPL right now, who haven’t yet feature for the Black Stars.
Our Arsenal senior side player is on the verge of playing with the Stars soon.
We have players with MAN-U junior side, Chelsea junior side, Arsenal junior side, MAN-CITY who are on loan.
@kci: which zambian player has played the premiership b4? Ghana is not a minor in football ok..luv us or hate us.
This squad is awesome.
My starting 11 will be
Kwarasey
Addy,Afful,Vorsah and Boye
Annan,K Asamoah,Atsu and Asante(B. Chelsea)
Clottey and Gyan
I bet anybody Gyan will play the decoy and clottey will hit 2 goals. Mark my word
Is Addy better than Wakaso? Is Clottey better than Warris? Is Afful better than Painstil?
Our key players for this game are the three player I gave you.
Painstil is hungry to take back his place, Wakaso want to steal a place in the squad, Warris want to prove to Appiah that he is the best striker in Sweden. Got my point?
Yea I got ur point!
Yes I get your point, Randy. It makes sense.
They have just one Player called Emmanuel Mayuka Who Plies his trade for Southampton
Zambia cant rub shoulders wit ghana.mayuka their only top flight playr…gh has so many talents all over the world. Guess zambians dnt travel much.
Zambia is jealous and envy of Ghana that’s why they are still rejoicing over their one zero victory.
They never thought they could one day rub shoulders with Ghana. Ghana beat Malawi 12-0 but we never bragged about that.
Actually Zambia have been lucky for a long time, but the party is over. You saw how Sudan disgraced them, and Malawi flogged them? They are not good and may not even go to South Africa.
Hahahaha! Zambians believe Ghanaians just as they believe in Kenneth Kaunda.
