Ghana World Cup Squad Named

May 12th, 2006 | By: Robert | 1 Comment »

After weeks of speculation, Head Technician Ratomir “Doya” Dujkovic has officially named his 23 member World Cup Lineup. The listing is below. Each of these players will be detailed in the following days:

Keepers- Sammy Adjei, George Owu, Richard Kingston

Defense- John Painstil, Samuel Osei Kuffour, John Mensah, Addoquaye Pappoe, Sheila Illiasu, Dan Quaye, Issah Ahmed, Habib Mohammed, Hans Adu Sarpei

Midfielders- Michael Essien, Sulley Ali Muntari, Derek Boateng, Stephen Appiah, Eric Addo, Otto Addo, Haminu Dramani

Strikers- Asamoah Gyan, Mathew Amoah, Razak Pimpong, Alex Techie-Mensah

Surprises? What happened to Joetex “the Nigerian” Frimpong, Emmanuel Boakye and Samuel Johnson? 4 local team players making the cut, against Doya’s stated philosophy? Richard “the Black Hole” Kingston? Too many to mention right now

i think Baba Adamu Amando should be given the nod to prove to the world in Germany what he is capable of doing.
To me he was Ghana’s best striker at the just ended African cup of nations in Egypt.
Such a talented striker should not be left out of the final squad when our main problem is goal scoring.
Thank you
