Ghana coach Akwasi Appiah insists he is far from settling on the players to start the 2014 World Cup qualifier against Sudan on Sunday.
Coach Appiah presided over his first training session with his team on Tuesday with many fans and journalists gathered second guessing what the starting lineup against Sudan would be like.
The speculation over the players to start for the Black Stars on Sunday got even more intense with the squad breaking into two groups for a half-park game.
But coach Appiah says his first training session gave absolutely nothing away regarding his starting XI against the Nile Crocodiles.
“Not now (if the first session gave him a hint of his team on Sunday), today was just to check their physical levels and I am really impressed with it,” he told MTNFootball.com.
The Ghana camp is now operation a full house following the arrival of trio Adam Kwarasey, Harrison Afful and Mubarak Wakaso on Tuesday evening.
The team has already left Accra and will train for the first time in Kumasi on Wednesday evening.

Sudan0-0 Ghana final scoe
filthy Zambian Bantu APE!!
Sudan 1- Ghana 1…final score.
Filthy Nigerian Yo-ROBBER APE!!
Coach appiah must show the hunger 4 a win by playing two strikers if not mahatma ottoo over gyan.
@Saka Jones, you are a big fool
Starting line up, Goalkeeper: Adam Kwarasey Defenders: Baba Abdul Rahman, John Boye, Jonathan Mensah, Harrison Afful Midfielders: Sulley Muntari, Kwadwo Asamoah, Emmanuel. Agyemang-Badu, Emmanuel Frimpong Forwards: Abdul Majeed Waris, Mahatma Otoo
It does not matter who plays, all the players are talented. What is more important is how the players are used. Kwasi Appiah’s weakness is in how to deploy players to get the best output of them. Tactical discipline begins with the coach, if the coach fails, if follows natuarally that the teams ouput will be dismal. Please Kwasi get it right this time.
Good one, gyan indeed should be benched
i read in one of this gsn article about frimpong speaking the language. i want to know what language this is. Ghana is a country with different major ethnic languages. so i dont understand what language this is. this is fucking pissig me off. what does he mean by the language. i am ewe and cant speak twi so i cant integrate into the team even though i lve in Ghana absolutely disgraceful.
Did it occur to you that the writer is speaking metaphorically? Should you introduce ethnocentrism into everything, oh Ghanaians? We are talking football, has nothing to do with tribes, please!!!
Guys zambia has no soccer or other sports sites like we do have in Ghana. However its pay back time on the useless zombians who come on this site to insult.
Below is a link to a zombian (don’t worry about the spelling as zambians are the same as zombians) site. If you have time go there and do as the useless zombians do here.

Apart from the omission of Essien the Coach made some excellent call ups especially Mahatma Otoo and Majeed Waris. The next thing is to come up with a good formation and use the right starting 11. The Coach must also exude incredible confidence. You are playing Sudan not Nigeria or Ivory Coast for goodness sake. Tell your players they are light years ahead of the competition and a win is a must. Expect nothing less then go out and set up the right players and formation to get the job done. There should be no room for doubt or sand bagging. Any team that is below Ghana in the rankings has no business beating Ghana period. This is your job, this is your mission to make sure it will never happen on your watch. It is not too late you can do it. You had a setback with the AFCON but the FA has given you another life, a second chance go out there and prove us wrong. Be the first Ghana born Coach to qualify us for the World Cup!
I expect Ghana to show class against Sudan. My prediction is Ghana 3 Sudan 1. Wishing you best of luck from Lagos, Nigeria.
Dauda,Afful, Rahman,Vorsah,Boye,Badu,Rabiu,Sulley,Wakasu,Waris and Gyan.Mahatma,Emmanuel Frimpong and Asante will come in as subs. My formation is 4-4-2.GHANA 2-0 SUDAN
NO kwadwo Asamoah?? you are a FOOL!!!!
People with small minds can only speak through insults.
You are an idiot indeed! why dont you come up with your own selection.
My squad, qwarasey,herrison3,rehman2,vorsah4,boye5,badu6,muntari7,k asamoah10,e frimpong8,wakaso11,warris9 to substituted in A gyan or Otto and muntari subs in Adomah, e frimpong by. S asante
MAHAMA,AYARIGA,AMISSA,OYE LUTHER,A. NKETIA,KOKU,ANANG,AFARI DJAN,WOYOME,TONY AIDOO,TERKPER ,HARUNA….they are equal good players to qualify GHANA to HIPC….
Zombians are timid, barbaric, largely uneducated people, and their country is one of the most backward nation on earth. A country with the sixth largest HIV/AIDS infections in the world! We will make sure all zombian chipolopolo players, their technical team including their coach go thorough HIV/AIDS TEST before even been allowed to enter Kumasi Stadium to play against our PRECIOUS BLACK STARS!
No wonder the Chinese are killing the zombians in their own country and taking over that useless country. The least said about a country that raises people king the better. The Chinese will erase all of you barbaric zombians from the face of this earth!
Can please stop this crap?
I don’t care! as long as these useless zambians keep insulting us on this and other sites, I will keep doing the to them! tell the zambians to stop!
I expect Ghana to show class against Sudan. My prediction is Ghana 3 Sudan 1. Wishing you best of luck from Lagos, Nigeria.
why is no one answering to my comments above is it because you know i speak the truth. this superioty shown by the akans in Ghana needs to stop. we are all equals in Ghana n o matter our ethnicity.
You are an APE! Do you know one can’t survive in Togo without speaking Ewe! because Ewes are 40 percent of the population in Togo!!
Most of the people who moved to the United States from Europe were of English speaking decent so, guess what! English became the main language spoken!! It is how things work. Now, I suspect you are a ZAMBIAN APE trying to create problems or a Yo-ROBBEr Nigerian animal trying to mess us up but, you will fail devil!!
@jj: no one answered u bcos u r the most senseless person ever to comment on this site. Ur comment stinks badly. What is wrong with the team’s decision to speak twi on the field. Twi is the most widely spoken language in Ghana so where from that dirty tribalism of u. U r realli a big disgrace to noble ewes. Shame on u!
I bet AA has not recovered from the AFCON confusion. He should learn to select a standing eleven. Any other person should prove himself before he breaks into that team. This is not a club. It is a national team for God’se sake. Changing the team everyday will not enhance cohesion. You can call up players for friendly matches and use the known ones for competitive games. He behaves like a “wonch3ndi” coach. I will really be surprised to see GH at the World Cup with this coaches performance.
Then what about your APE coach Herve Renard!!
I come in peace. Fellow Africans are baffled by the insults we throwing at each other. This King guy might not be even be Zambian.
It is very un Zambian the way he is insulting.
Zambians have a lot of respect of Ghanians. Don’t be fooled. Good luck to the Black Stars and to the Chipolopolo.
Lets just talk sports and not insults. Peace!!
I don’t care! as long as these useless zambians keep insulting Ghana and Ghanaians on this and other sites, I will keep doing the to them! if they behave civil on this and other sites and stop tell falsehood about Ghana,I will stop tell the truth and the zambians!
Fine!! I suspect many are Southern Nigerian criminals trying to mess us up! Just a jealous group of people those criminals.
4 my opinion coach akwasi appiah should play 4-4-2 with dis squared fatao dauda, h. Aful, b. Rahman, j. Boye, vorsah, muntari, badu, s. Asante, wakasu, k. Asamoah, m. Walase,
Adomah over Asante please!!
probable line up: fatau dauda, yaw frimpong, baba abdul rahman, john boye, jonathan mensah, agyeman badu, kwadwo asamoah, sulley muntari, rabiu mohamed, wakaso mubarak,
asamoah gyan.
My starting 11
———————–warris———————-
K Asamoah——–Gyan———Accam
———Muntari————Badu———-
Rahman—–vorsah—–boye——-afful
——————-dauda———————
Afful Badu and Accam on the right??/ Are you sane? Did you not watch the 3rd place match??
Ghana pliz lets get our act together this time.At the last AFCON i got hospitalized after the Burkina Faso match with high BP…Right now i am scared to even watch the game in case the same happens. All the best BS and remember teamwork is always the best 4 the team nd die-hard fans like myself.
not this time!
haha how am i fool. so explain this would i not be able to integrate in the team then. its like an england player not able to speak english.
I believe you are a Nigerian Yo-ROBBER CRIMINAL pretending to be Ghanaian!!!
and i am just saying this superiority complex amongst us is not good this is why our african countries are so disjointed.This is the after effect of the europeans divide and rule strategy since it will create a feeling of superioty within the countries du to different ethnic groups. Thats where Dr nkrumah brought the system during his time that if you were an akan you would go to a Ga speaking place for uni, if you were Ga you would go to a ewe place and all over if you get the idea.But nowadays its not like that so since I am an ewe why do i have to learn another language in my own coutry to feel comfortable. Would you like it if we were dominant like in togo and ou have to speak our language in your own national team. we need to find a solution to suit all ethnic group in Ghana i cant see anything wrong with what am saying
You are a moron. Your ideas are unrealistic. In Ghana if you can speak English you will fit in just fine. I would guess 80 percent speak some Twi/Fante and 70+ percent speak some English!
In the end, if I was in Togo I would probably understand Ewe because, I would be around it all the time! If I was in Southern Nigeria I would speak Yoruba and if in Northern Nigeria I would speak Hausa. If I was in Ivory Coast I would speak Baule, and if I was in South Africa probably Zulu! In Kenya I would speak Swahili etc etc etc
Most people who live in the Northern part of Ghana Understand the languages up there and many people who live in Accra understand some Ga. But, the Southern half of Ghana where most of the economic activities are has always had some Twi/Fante type language as the predominant language spoken and understood this is not 60 years old but, over 500 years old!!! Those who live in the Southern part of the Volta region will understand some Ewe even if they are not ethnic Ewes. So, it is all in the predominant population. It is up to the people of certain groups to preserve their language and, I would not want any language to die. The real languages under threat are not Ewe though since there are something like 2 million speakers in Togo and also some in Ghana. The real languages under threat tare the Guan languages and the languages found in middle Volta… Ironically many of those languages are dying because of the Ewe language’s dominance there!!
What you are saying is WRONG because, you are acting like it is the fault of the majority that they are the majority. The majority will always be the majority.
Right now we are typing in an Indo-European Language which has no origin or similarity to any language spoken in Ghana. IF you understand linguistics you would know that most of the languages spoken in Ghana are related and were probably one language over 1000 years ago. If you are comfortable not only speaking but,writing English then, you should have no problem speaking learning a language which is more related to your language than English is!!!! And if you can’t do that you can always speak English!!
@jj,why are so filled with ethnic sentiments? its not the fault of anybody to be born as an Akan,Ga,Ewe,Gonja,Frafra,Guan,Grushie,Mumprusi,Dagomba,Dagaati,Wala,Kosasi,Ga Adangbe etc.If you are sad about your ethnic backgroud, others from your background are so proud of themselves and life goes on.
@Ghanaman,look here why’re u so cheeky? What do u get when u get so disrespectful like this, rude one!
It is part of my style. I hate Idiots. On this forum most of the idiots are Nigerians are Zambians
liten i understand but all am saying is that we should speak english in our camps to involve everyone. that is common sense why on earth do you think kpb left.
