Do you have a passion for Ghana football? Do you like to write and to share your opinions? Are you already fired up and excited for the 2010 World Cup? We’re looking for someone to captain this blog. This is not a paid position, but you will be rewarded with an [...]

Credit Czechs, Don’t Fault U.S.

June 22nd, 2006 | By: Robert | 93 Comments »

Looking back, now fondly, on Ghana’s new found advancement in Group play (and I guess it is unsurprising to have yet one more West African qualifier), the World Cup darlings truly have the Czech Republic to thank for their advancement.
Certainly, the opener versus Italy gave Ghana an understanding of World Cup pace and [...]

Full time for Italy; Full time for Ghana

June 22nd, 2006 | By: Robert | 8 Comments »

Though they SAID it couldn’t be done and that all of Africa were back benchers, Ghana has defeated the U.S. (as all true Ghana supporters knew that they would) and advanced. The second half was sloppy and at times dangerous, but we are through to knockouts and the historic match versus Brazil. To [...]

Halfway done…

June 22nd, 2006 | By: Robert | 3 Comments »

But far from over!
The Stars have not been at their Czech peak this afternoon, but certainly have not been slacking either, with Haminu Dramani’s strike and a Stephen Appiah penalty giving the Stars a 2-1 halftime advantage. Clint Dempsey scored the lone goal for the US.
If you root for the Stars and are not [...]

Congratulations to our Other African Nations

June 22nd, 2006 | By: Robert | 3 Comments »

After a slow start, our other African nations have begun to collect some points in the World Cup.
Disappointments Ivory Coast finally collected a win in their group, following weak performances versus advancers Argentina and the Netherlands. It was a come from behind 3-2 win against a weakened and disgraced Serbia team, though, and hastened [...]

Who should start today?

June 22nd, 2006 | By: Robert | 2 Comments »

The question raging in people’s minds has been “who should start for the two disqualified leaders today”? As you remember, solid striker Asamoah Gyan will be missed as will young phenom Sulley Muntari. And, no, I don’t think it should be Baba Armando.
For me, Razak Pimpong provides necessary energy up front to propel [...]

D-Day

June 22nd, 2006 | By: Robert | 3 Comments »

Much hype has been made of this afternoon’s Ghana-USA matchup, certainly the most important match in Ghana’s football history. The Stars are confident that they will perform and they have already begun their plans for Brazil and reminded fans that they are “the Brazil of Africa”. But, against the U.S. today, can they [...]

What is best for Ghana

June 17th, 2006 | By: Robert | 60 Comments »

After the moment of victory has been savored the true Ghana fan has to wonder whether we can’t ask for more. Right now we trail by a goal in differential to the Czechs. Question is what result in Italy-USA would be best for us?
From my perspective, an Italy win would be disastrous. [...]

A Masterful Performance

June 17th, 2006 | By: Robert | 35 Comments »

If you weren’t among the fortunate to see today’s dominant performance by Ghana in Cologne, a 2-0 victory over the Czech Republic (ranked #2 by FIFA, by the way), you truly missed the future of African football. Only a day after I was despairing that Angola would be the shining star of Africa in [...]

Better luck next time?

June 12th, 2006 | By: Robert | 28 Comments »

Well the disspiriting second half has come to a close and Ghana have lost their debut 2-0 to Italy. The Stars played well and strong, but it would be hard pressed to say that they fared better than Cote D’Ivoire or Angola. In particular, the second half showed real roughness in the back [...]
