Another defeat
Again to a club squad, and again ignominously. This time the twist, not even a club side with considerable playing experience, but a “select side” mixing four Austrian club teams. On Sunday, the Stars lost 1-0 to Austrian Lavanttal select side, a side composed of members of the Austrian SK St. Andra, Wolfsberger AC, St Andra, and ATSV Wolfsburg, as well as a couple of kids from Wolfsburg with nothing better to do.
More precariously, though the vaunted midfield was again absent, the goal and backline were manned in the first half by expected Black Stars starters. And it was in the first half and against these starters that all of the damage occurred. Certainly great things may be on the horizon, but the cloud raining gold has not broken yet.

It looks like the Black stars will get thrashed at the world cup. Did the key players such as Essien and Appiah play? If yes then only a miracle will save Ghana.

It looks like Ghana is in big trouble! I really thought that they would surprise teams in the world cup but not this way!

Ghana’s strong midfield- Appiah, Essien, Muntari- did not play
However the backline and goal played, and what was Ghana’s strength in qualifying appears to be their weakness in the World Cup.

Man this sucks. I was really hoping you’d pull off an upset or two and help out USA’s cause a bit. C’mon work harder! *grin*

The Black Stars are just tanking games to fool their opponents. They’ll be alright come the World Cup.

No need to panic my friends, the coach is just trying to get the best out of the 28, players like essien, sulley, appiah did not play. Watch out for the main games against Turkey,Jamica and South Korea. These are only trail matches
