Wow!! These Southern Africans have got some very interesting names lol, anyway GSN what is so strong about this squad? LFMAO!!
Maxwell,you will see how strong they are when they us.We have a wimpish coach who is confused and a bunch of bench warmers.
Is the so- called strong squad full time footballers? Looking the squad i can see alot of barbers,carpenters,masons,police corporals and sergents,soldiers, land guards etc!!!! This is a fact because most of these southern players are not full time players but part time and this is according to Botswana officials… after a hard days work at the police barrier checks or at the construction site,they then assemble for one or two light training at their tartan tracks n u want to use this small fishes in the ocean to come accra to upset us!!! After this high school team has being busted open with alot of devastating uppercuts to their glass chin,we will then give them some fufu with light soup to eat and then take them on sightseeing in osu or chorkor n then we will loan them some oil for them to pay in the future!!! By the way after the annihilation in accra,we ll then also assemble some masons,carpenters and porters to Malawi and am sure we ll still win cuz a common carpenter in Ghana is better than an established national player in Malawi… guys don’t get me wrong cuz the highest win Ghana has ever had is against this fireless flames (12-0) and why wouldn’t history repeat itself… no African national team has ever recorded a win against the selecao of Brazil and no Malawi,Lesotho,Botswana can ever record a win over us let alone in our home!!!
The FLAMES OF MALAWI wil come out the victors in this encounter.Thankyou Kinha Phiri wth Yohan Cryuff’s philosophy of total football.
these bunch of mediocre playaz, the least that they will receive is 4 goals
Malawi 1 Ghana0.
I think we ve learnt something frm our zambian admirers n dats the braggin spirit. selfmade, u alwayz knock me over wid ur sense of humour! lolz. hope akwasi appiah proves his critics (includin me) wrong…of course against small teams.
Yvonne… thanks but take a chilling pill cuz even if appiah is not all that good i think he knows how to beat toothless team like malawi,lesotho etc cuz he has already done it before by dissecting the so called Lesotho by seven devasting haymakers that’s has leave them impotent for the next years!!! Malawi is another lesotho and i think their name is made of six alphabets and if appiah has being able to spelled Lesotho which is made up of seven alphabets what could prevent him for spelling Malawi which is only six!!! C’mon guys can u see my analysis!!! Here again the malawian coach is a novice in that when u compare him to appiah,appiah has seen it all as footballer and again don’t forget he won the all african games for us…. the last time i checked the malawian coach has scored zero in that department!!!! Appiah will simply outsmart and outclass him simple!!! He is less endowed coach with a less endowed team!!!!!
oh so every team in S.Africa believe they can beat Black Stars hands down. They should continue dreaming. Soon they will start feeling the damage that the black stars can cause,especially the Zambians.Anyway my bad,we are talking about the Malawi Game, and All Die Be Die.
Ghanians are very good at talking not action. you will lose to Malawi next week just like the way u have been losing to Zambia’s chipolopolo! u can continue keeping yo bunch of so called professionals who cant deliver and you will continue losing. go go flames,go. crush these black juju boys.
ghana 3 malawi o ishallahu
@ndolaman… we are good of talking because we learnt it from home and also from school and i think if someone tell me am good at talking i ll take it as a compliment because is not all african countries whose people knows how to talk esp zambians no wonder u ll never see any if their players ,politicians etc making any contribution in any platform and am not surprised it took u more than 50 something yrs to win just one cup!! Ghanaians knows how to talk thats why we were able to led Africa emancipation… we know how to talk that’s why he headed the UN( kofi anane)… we know how to talk n no wonder we have won everything in Africa football and being quarte-finalists in the workshop and u can’t do this by mere talking!!! We are action people and mine u ghanaians has produced better boxers than any Africa country and has even produced a boxing hall of famer in the person of prof azumah nelson….
@ Selfade it took us 50 years dats fine bt it has been 30 years since you guys won afcon n 0nly 8 teams participated by they way so i dont think we can even ko it afcon lets ko it sum tornerment, u hav had 2 watch egypt win it now 4 ,cameroun ,nigeria,south africa ,tunisia,ivory coast n nw zambia honestly i ask wen are u going 2 win it. ur jst losers
Yeah ur ryt u have reachd the quarter finals of workshops am sure those workshops wer 4 catching fish.let me tell kofi ananan was jst a weak un leader who george bush never caried bout n he went 2 war without his backin.wich all of farmer we dnt knw him so my guy we dont belive u on dat one probably he is known only in ghana n he is ur all of famer.ryt now ester phiri she is a world champion with three belts u can google that pliz dont start on us on football or boxing we gat this
Sade….. so by next Zambia afcon achievement ll be irreverent? So from your standpoint achievements in the past is irrelevant right? When was the last time Nigeria won the afcon? About ten yrs ago and is ten yrs in the present? When was the las time Egypt won the cup, about three yrs ago,is three ago in the present? All the teams that have mention all won the trophy in the past but not in the present so it means their achievement are also irrelevant too according to your theory!!! I guess Zambia will be champion for life and eversince i was born i haven’t seen one before!! The beauty of the game is that champions are enthroned to be dethroned,records are made to be broken!!! Zambia is just a small football dwarf fighting against a football dinosaur( Ghana)…. i can’t call our rivals becos we haven’t meet that much and therefore comparison is negligible…i want to called u a bogey side but that spot has being taken by Morocco whom we find it hard to crack and they always put the fear of god in us.. the mere fact that ghanaians are still looking down your afcon achievement is enough to tell u that we are not scared of u and when the world cup qualifers goes to the wire we ll beat u… your two times win over us this year doesn’t scared us a bit becos we know deep down in our heart that we better than u in football and this two win can convinced no ghanaian period!! Should it have nigeria,egypt,ivory coast or even Morocco,ghanaians wouldn’t have being making this noise but rather ll be alarmed and concerned!!!
