The benefits of the World Cup are immense and perhaps incalculable for everyone involved. The most significant thing however isn’t that we run commentaries on the benefits – whether quantifiable or not. Ours is to continuously charge those tasked with managing football at the association and/or state level to let’s see and feel the benefits […]
Black Stars captain, Andre Ayew minced no words at the Parliamentary select committee on Youth, Sports, and Culture when they invited him for his take on the team’s poor outing at the AFCON in Cameroon this year. In two years, we’ve had three different coaches which in his view doesn’t help team-building. I support the […]
The pundits got it right. The Black Stars, for all the period they’ve been at the FIFA World Cup haven’t lost a second group game. On that premise, South Korea were to lose or in the worst case scenario earn a point. A Ghana defeat was ruled out. And that’s exactly what happened. Ghana beat […]
I decline to go into the merits or demerits of whatever necessitated the suspension of the betPawa Premier League. The issues are well known. Therefore instead of being on what would be a needlessly tiresome recall of Ashantigold’s troubles and the court issues, energies would be expended well in sharing my joy over the league’s […]
Lawyer Gabby Otchere Darko was at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday as a special guest of midfielder Thomas Partey. Gabby as he is popularly called witness Arsenal beat bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur 3-1. Black Stars midfielder Thomas Partey scored a wonderful goal assisted by Ben White to set the tone for the encounter. Partey couldn’t […]
Ashantigold’s attempt to stop the start of the 2022/23 betPawa Premier League with a court action ended in futility. The competition got underway as planned with Accra Great Olympics beating Bechem United 1-0 at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday. I know not the path Ashantigold would take as a football club but what’s clear to me is […]
As I spoke with Black Galaxies Coach Annor Walker 24 hours after their 4-0 aggregate victory over Benin (Ghana won 3-0 in first leg), I heard joyful confidence in his voice as he reflected on his team’s attitude, performance and results in the first phase of the 2023 African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifying matches. Clearing […]
I don’t hide my Asante Kotoko affinity. I’m proud of it. So, it’s often not expected of me to see any good in rival club, Accra Hearts of Oak. Yet, as a Ghana football journalist, it’s necessary that, I applaud what’s progressive, and that which advances development of clubs and Ghana football as a whole. […]
Unless King Faisal’s owner, Alhaji Karim Grunsah’s comment on Asante Kotoko’s 2022/23 season’s jersey, which has a watermark image of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, is echoing concerns from the hallowed Manhyia Palace, it should be dismissed. Alhaji Grunsah essentially suggested that, imprinting the club’s owner and life patron’s picture on its jersey amounts […]
I’m firm in my conviction that the picture painted out there to Asante Kotoko supporters of which I’m proudly and inseparably one isn’t the exact state of affairs. That’s no news as organisations often have difficult times and what’s required of mangers then is to resolutely confront the difficulties and solve them. It’s also nothing […]
