Isaac Vorsah steps into Ghana's starting line up
Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah has made one change to his starting line-up to face Zambia in Saturday’s Brazil 2014 World Cup qualifier.
Germany-based defender Isaac Vorsah has replaced Jerry Akaminko who partnered John Boye in the 7-0 thrashing of Lesotho last week at home.
The TSG Hoffenheim man missed the previous qualifying round due to suspension.
Esperance versatile player Harrison Afful will play as left-back and Samuel Inkoom maintains his position as right-back.
The midfield will be marshaled by Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu and Derek Boateng with captain Sulley Muntari playing behind the strikers.
Udinese star Kwadwo Asamoah will operate from the left-flank.
Appiah has also kept faith in his front men as Dominic Adiyiah heads the attack and Jordan Ayew deployed on the right wing.
Ghana are seeking revenge after a 1-0 semi-final loss to the Chipolopolo at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.
The match will be played at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola at 13 hrs GMT.
Ghana starting line-up:
Adam Larsen Kwarasey, John Boye, Isaac Vorsah, Harrison Afful, Samuel Inkoom-Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu, Derek Boateng, Sulley Muntari, Kwadwo Asamoah, Jordan Ayew, Dominic Adiyiah.
Zambia starting line-up:
16. Kennedy Mweene, 3. Chisamba Nungu, 6. Emmanuel Mbola, 13. Stopilla Sunzu, 5. Hijani Himonde, 19. Nathan Sinkala, 17. Rainford Kalaba, 8. Isaac Chansa, 20. Emmanuel Mayuka, 11. Christopher Katongo, 10. Felix Katongo.

so wat is inkoom doin in the starting line up a player who cant give a meaningful cross aaabaaa kwesi think again cos inkoom is refusin to learn and grow
Dude, shut up! Why would you want to change a winning team?
i accept akwesi appiahs decision but i dont understand it.akaminko did very well so i guess it would have been advisable to leave him in the first 11.
the vorsah we used to kno 2 years ago is not the vorsah we kno now.he has even lost his place at tsg 1899 hoffenheim to young danish international jan vestergaard n with new hoofenheim coach markus babbel buying former vfb stuttgart captain mathiue delpierre,vorsah will have it top.
im a big fan of vorsah but his form has dropped.
eventhough jerry akaminko’s team vestel manisaspor were relegated he was their best defender.
all i can do is to wish bs good luck.
Akaminko was not tested in the Lesotho match, since they hardly posed any threat. It is going to be different this time as the Zambians would be looking for nothing but a win.
i mean vorsah will have it tough.
Thus a good decision by the coach. Good luck to Appiah
I have a feeling Agyemang Badu will score in this game. Will the match be shown on GTV?
a good line-up . Is the match going to be telecast ? where can one watch it . wish the team the best .
good selection,Vorsah ll b a perfect addition…akaminko was fambling in de game against lesotho nd he was comin in too strong and his tackles were late..all de same he needs 2 study a while 4rm de bench
Looking at the wastful nature of Inkoom dishing out decent crosses, it would have been better if Opera replaces him.
Yeah, according to Jeff (the senoir sports annalyst of GTV) the match would be shown live. Lets just hope and pray that GTV doesnt do what they did when we were playing Sudan away prior to our cup of nations qualificationwhen they were showing nigeria’s match instead of ours. Good luck Black Stars and may the God of our Land be with you guys.
Yes the match will be telecast live on GTV at 1pm
wat is inkoom still doin in the line up kwesi shd rethink nd play opare cos dat inkoom man is not the one we new yrs back he cant even cross a ball
But j ayew has red card and why is he first 11
how do u get to watch the match online
I tink i lyk de lineup.but inkom dis is not wat he use to do 4 mada gh
BLACK TUNA’S KEYS TO VICTORY:
I JUST FINISHED WATCHING THE GAME AGAINST ZAMBIA AT AFCON. GH, NO SIZE….HERE ARE MY 8 BALL POINTS TO VICTORY AGAINST ZAMBIA. THEY WILL BE ONES SWEATING BULLETS…
1. THE TALL PLAYERS LIKE JORDAN, VORSAH, MUNTARI ETC MUST USE THEIR HEADS TO SCORE, ESP JORDAN.
2. ASAMOAH N INKOOM DONT LIKE TAKING THE BALL INTO THE 18. WTFUCKING WHY?
3. STOP CONSTANTLY SHOOTING THE BALL FROM UP TOP THE 18 N DRIVE THE BALL INSIDE THE 18 N SHOOT FROM THERE
4. U WILL HAVE TO RELY ON THE COUNTER ATTACK FOR THIS GAME. OPEN IT UP 10 MINUTES TILL THE END OF EACH HALF
5. KEEP THE ZAMBIANS FAR AWAY FROM THE YOUR 18. THEY LIKE TO POSITION THEMSELVES CLOSE TO THE BOX N DATS HOW THEY SCORED…LOL
6. VORSAH FOLLOWED BY AFFUL ARE THE HEADEE AT THE BACK N MUST VERY VOCAL TO THEIR FELLOW DEFENDERS. COMMUNICATE! O CANT STRESS THIS ENUFF VORSAH
7. THE ZAMBIANS ARE DISCIPLINE N PLAY SIMPLE SOCCER. THEY CANT EVEN BREAK THE BALL PROPER…LOL, BUT THEY WILL CONVERT THEIR LEAST CHANCE. SO GH MUST MAKE WILD…OR ELSE…..
AND FINALLY…..
8. NO BALL WATCHING, NO COMPLACENCY! BE ACTIVE ALL 90 MINUTES…
where can i watch the match on the internet?????????
u can watch it on http://www.usagoals.com
My good friend Keith, you’ve made a very good point. But I think Vorsah’s inclusion is a step in the right direction regardless of his current form cuz he has the experience, he has seen and done it all unlike Akaminko who just made his debut last week. Akaminko is a very good defender by all standard but I think Vorsah is better, lets pray for the stars. I cant predict the scoreline but we surely gonna win, GO GH!!
o so Ghana paa, we cant watch the game?, please if someone has a link please show us.. keith the ghana game is not on that site, thnx anyway
I think replacing Jerry is a good decision he was shaky even without the ball against Lesotho…
He can be the best defender in maniaspor but not in the deadly BS.
Up GH!!!
where can i watch the match live in the internet?
Try justin.tv not very clear

INKOOM BENCH HIM TILL HE LEARNS
ASAMOAH..BYE BYE. LET HIM GO N FOCUS ON GETTING A BETTER CLUB TO PLAY FOR. WE HVE HAD ENUFF OF HIS WAYWARD PASSES AND WAYWARD 20 YARD SHOTS.
JORDAN…BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE …LACKS MATURITY. I KEEP TELLIN U HE IS NOT RIPE. SEND HIM TO METEORS OR SATTELITES
ADIYIAH….NO COMMENT. HE HAS A LONG WAY TO GO. HE SHOULD BE RELEGATED TO METEORS.
