Reason why Bellingham was smart in going to Spain, it’s less toxic
Look at Haaland in England, he’s done his best but someone called him a League Two player on national television
They’ll find a way to nitpick anything that is good
Horrible place to play football.
🇬🇭 Ghana’s number 10 in 3 games at the World Cup:
0 chances created
0 shots created
0 key passes
0 passes into the penalty box
0 progressive passes
0 passes into the final third
0 successful dribbles
Went to visit this girl and she said she’ll eat tilapia. Went with her to get it and when I asked the cost of one he said 60ghc. I talk for my head “herh Accra” I told the man to give me one and I kid you not from this girl’s mouth came the words “Ei me one won’t reach me oo”
We have the zigi in the black stars list but Danlad Ibrahim can’t make the list unless we talk a lot . Our taste for foreign goods goods beyond just jobs or materials.
Gradel gave his all for Ivory Coast, was there on the bench when the team didn’t rely on him, delivered on the pitch when the team needed him
Won two AFCONs
Didn’t need PR and journos to defend him after every game
He should enjoy his retirement very well, he’s earned it.
Sporting CP have played 7 matches in the Portuguese Liga + Champions League this season.
Fatawu Issahaku has ZERO starts and has played just 22 minutes of football.
Is there a single footballing reason he’s still considered automatic for the Black Stars?
🇬🇭 Manaf Nurudeen vs Chile:
A decent display, exhibiting the fundamentals of a modern keeper
• Shot stopping: saving shots
• Shot prevention: punching/claiming crosses and sweeping behind the defence
• Distribution: long/short passing (under press)
📽️In Just 3 games under Baretto, Kotoko have scored more than 50% of their goal tally from the first half of the season
Fabio Gama is firing and Kotoko are top of the 🇬🇭 Ghana Premier League.
How has Mariano Baretto achieved this? 4-3-3.⚽️
🇬🇭 Inaki makes like 3 different movements before the goal:
1 - anticipates a through ball from midfield
2 - readjusts his run for the cross
3 - gets in front of his marker to score ⚽️
🚨 🇬🇭 This Nat'l Sports Authority statement says Police will quell any attempt by fans to use today's Ghana vs Sudan qualifier to make highlight how illegal mining is ravaging the country's water bodies.
CAF rules prohibit POLITICAL messaging.
#StopGalamseyNow
is NOT one.
When he was linked to Ghana at Bristol City I had to read comments like “why are we chasing a player in division 1 when we have GPL top scorer Diawusie Taylor”
🇬🇭 Alidu Seidu vs Nicaragua -
@AliduSeidu15
Provided a lot of energy from the right flank, put in a few decent crosses and was defensively solid on the night.
A player comfortable playing across a back four/three and in midfield, is a useful option for the Black Stars.
8 minutes in a meaningless friendly vs Nicaragua
15 minutes in a meaningless friendly vs Liberia
Yet to start a competitive game for Ghana but we’re taking him to AFCON? Someone make this make sense.
Clipped most of 🇬🇭Ghana's (half) chances vs Nicaragua
The key here is execution, a lot of moments in there where a pass/cross instead of shooting would have created a better opportunity.
Bits of nice sequences in the build up too.
How many should we have scored? ⚽️
"Now people coach to me and ask why did you not pick that player who plays for that club. As long I am here I pick whoever delivers for me. You can play for PSG, Bayern etc, if you not a fit to my system you wont be called up,"

Batman fights a range of villians from criminally insane geniuses to thousand year old assasins, who does Tony Stark fight?

📹All the chances (half chances) and shots from 🇬🇭 Ghana vs Switzerland
🚩Ghana surprisingly created a lot from set pieces (Jordan, Kyereh)
🔄After 62nd minute subs, players willing to make/find runs changed the game
⚽️Best sequence in the game was from 1:51-2:17, football.
OFFICIAL:
🇬🇭 Daniel Kofi Kyereh completes his move to Bundesliga side SC Freiburg
The midfielder had 12 goals and 9 assists in the Bundesliga II with St Pauli last season
Freiburg will feature in the Europa League this season.
🇬🇭 Fatawu Issahaku vs Algeria U23 -
There has been a marginal improvement in his team play, and a willingness to pass more rather than shoot.
But the decision making in some moments is not much different than he showed at U20 level. Something to build on.
Someone tweeted recently that nobody has actually watched a full 90 minutes of Afriyie Barnieh - so I did this weekend.
Made a compilation of the forward's actions in the 🇬🇭 Ghana v Mozambique U23 qualifier.
We really don’t know what we have in these boys man
The current crop of Ghana U23 players have genuinely good talent who can actually play.
Need competent people to put them together and build towards winning
When Richard Ofori mysteriously displaced Ati Zigi two games before the tournament I knew this shit was going to happen.
Ofori hasn’t been active in a WHOLE YEAR. He’s been so rusty and shaky all tournament.
Was able to re-watch Southampton vs Palace this weekend
🇬🇭 Kamaldeen was the Saints' bright spot in attack; he had a very good game offering a threat on and off the ball.
Picked a few key moments from to highlight including the big chance he created (last clip)
Jamaica. A country which spots talent, trains them and gives them funding
Then you will get up with your GHS3 bundle and tell us that our best cant beat "common" Yohan Blake.
Till we invest in our athletes they dont owe us shit. Foolish boy.
🎥 Is Ati Zigi a bad keeper? 🧤
I present data and video analysis of his recent performances for the 🇬🇭 Black Stars for you to decide
Part 2 is in the next tweet ⬇️
“They can get all the stats they want in Belgium and Sweden but they don’t deserve to start for Ghana because there is a 34-year old better than them whose last good game was in 2020”
🇬🇭 Osman Bukari’s Red Star end their European adventure this season.
The Ghanaian became only the 5th Ghanaian to score on their Champions League debut since the current UCL format (1992).
He also had the most goal involvements (4) for the team.
Kamaldeen and Sancho made similar decisions for their career
Sancho in 2017 was behind Sterling and Sane who played 49/59 games combined
Kamal at Ajax would be behind Antony and club captain Tadic who played 55/67 games combined
Move to clubs where the 1st team path is clear.
This is in no way bad goalkeeping; he anticipated a touch from TWO players free in the box
You cant expect him to save the shot and prevent the cross at the same time, its a ridiculous criticism
🇬🇭 Tariq Lamptey vs Man City -
He offers so much dynamism down the flank; offers a wide outlet in the build up, stretches play in the final third and offers runs in behind the defence.
Interested to see how his style translates to the Black Stars.
👋🏾Hi, me again
Back this time with a 4-part series ahead of the Super Clash between Hearts of Oak and Kotoko 🇬🇭
Part 1 (Kotoko + Baretto tactics) 🦔🇦🇹
Enjoy
Victorien Adebayor had a stunning 2-year spell in the Ghanaian league; 19 goals in 25 games along the way for
@InterAlliesFC
. He's off to HB Køge now.
I was able to plot the location of each of his 19 goals. Spot that infamous curler vs Berekum Chelsea.
🇬🇭 Ghana’s recent games playing a back 3 or 5:
2-0 L Mexico
3-2 L Portugal
3-0 L Brazil
4-1 L Japan
1-1 D Nigeria
3-2 L Comoros
Conceded 3+ goals in 4/6 games
Average of 1 goal per game
Food for thought…
I’m still disappointed we couldn’t recruit Jamie Leweling and Jeremy Doku back in 2018/19
Back then when we approached them we heard all sorts of complaints but now Leweling (who was in Bundesliga 2) will play Europa League football
Doku went on to choose Belgium
Watched Baba vs Atletico Madrid live last month, couldn’t believe my eyes so had to clip the game (been in my drafts)
I genuinely believe he is a troll. This cannot be the same player.
[Disclaimer: I do not endorse him in any way shape or form]
The ages of members of the 2014 WC team as of their last Black Stars appearance:
Samuel Inkoom (25)
E. Agyemang Badu (26)
Kevin Prince-Boateng (27)
Sulley Muntari (30)
Jonathan Mensah (31)
Harrison Afful (31)
Michael Essien (31)
Asamoah Gyan (33)
Andre Ayew is 33 in December.
All the captains mysteriously absent. That's how they disappeared after the Uruguay game at the World Cup and came back to tell us they went to the hospital.
Pathetic.
Hudson Odoi cant play for Ghana (if he completes paperwork) until November 2022 (3+ years after his last competitive England cap)
So if you see any squads with him in it its probably fake
*Mamelodi Sundowns are one of the best teams in one of the best leagues in Africa (PSL)
*They’ve consistently made it past the quarterfinals of the CAF Champions League
The context before some people come and do agenda, this isn’t some random GPL team 😂🙏🏾
Eight of 🇿🇦 South Africa’s starting 11 tonight against Morocco play for Mamelodi Sundowns, who have won the last 6 top flight titles. The biggest strength of this Bafana Bafana team is chemistry which is an advantage most national teams don’t have.
#AFCON2023
You people are always amazed when Egypts local players play well; Al Ahly and Zamalek play in arguably the best league in Africa and they regularly compete in CAF club competitions - high levels of football quality.
Dont copy and paste that narrative here, I know you people.
Barca's first goal: won the ball back from a Liverpool throw, about 6 passes, Vidal switches↗️ play. Coutinho+Alba overload the flank, cross, goal⚽️
2nd goal: won the ball from a Liverpool attack, Busquets finds Messi, ➡️Roberto➡️Suarez off the post and in⚽️
Got these clips from a friend after checking the stats after the game
I’m wondering now, why didn’t we cross the ball more vs Cape Verde? It was our best method of chance creation.
Trying a new style/format of analysis videos. First one is on Ghana's favourite GK, Lawrence Ati-Zigi
📊We'll breakdown the numbers and videos behind his performances for club and country.
Video out tomorrow at 10am. 📹
