themotivator Posted 21 May 2014 Posted 21 May 2014 Did anyone else get a panini world cup album and curse the moment they turned to the algeria/ghana pages?
Narborough_fox Posted 24 May 2014 Posted 24 May 2014 Schlupp played 45 minutes in a 6-1 friendly win against local-select side. Ghana play against Holland on 31st May which is the last game before the final 23-man squad is named.
brockmyster Posted 24 May 2014 Posted 24 May 2014 Maher Mezahi @MezahiMaher · 4h LeButeur report Riyad Mahrez has impressed Coach Vahid. They think he'll go to Brazil. Coach still wants him to be more aggressive though. Algerian journalist/Stringer type I believe. The thought of an Algerian Stringer has amused me way too much
Foxy Mofo Posted 28 May 2014 Posted 28 May 2014 Looking likely that Mahrez will go. Only one more outfield player to be cut which should be a defender or a defensive midfielder according to Jason Bourne's twitter
Guest Col city fan Posted 28 May 2014 Posted 28 May 2014 I think if Schlupp is used, it will be as striker. Asamoah is one of the best attacking full backs in the world.
Finnegan Posted 28 May 2014 Posted 28 May 2014 I think if Schlupp is used, it will be as striker. Asamoah is one of the best attacking full backs in the world. Er, Asamoah plays centre mid for Ghana. They don't have a settled, established left back. They're crying out for one but Asamoah is too important to them to "waste" at full back. He practically runs the show.

theessexfox Posted 28 May 2014 Posted 28 May 2014 http://discussions.ghanaweb.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=166545 A short thread but Game 1 vs Serbia at WCR. KingsonJ. Pantsil John Mensah I. Vorsah H. SarpeiKevin. Boateng A. AnnanP. Tagoe K. Asamoah A. AyewA. Gyan and The goal of sat friendly should be the ff:1. Do we have a Lb besides Kwadman? would suggest that Asamoah won't be playing left-back, at least in the fans' eyes.
sdb Posted 28 May 2014 Posted 28 May 2014 Heard Schluppy had a good game the other night (according to twitter talk) but found nothing on the game. Anyone know how much he and RM have played in recent friendlies?
Finnegan Posted 28 May 2014 Posted 28 May 2014 Seriously, read up on any blog or football site about Ghana. Any world cup guide, any magazine, any fan site. He sits in a midfield three as a deeper lying playmaker in a much more creative role. He used to play behind a striker in a more attacking position. I wouldn't say he's never played at left back for Ghana but it's not his regular position and, as stated, he'd be wasted there.

I will always bow to better knoweldge than mine. I thought he played as a left sided wing back (I do know he can play left sided mid also) but you seem to be in the know so I believe you. See, I can be humble.
Finnegan Posted 28 May 2014 Posted 28 May 2014 He plays on the left for Juve but a lot of internationals have different roles for their country, especially when that country is "lesser" footballing nation with fewer quality options. I mean we played Speedo at full back cos our defence was so shit.
Guest MattP Posted 28 May 2014 Posted 28 May 2014 Finners is right. It's similar to how Yorke played at Trinidad or Etoo at Cameroon or Wilmots at Belgium. When you have a player who can control a game and is by far the best player you pretty much have to get them in middle of the pitch so they see as much of the ball as possible.
MC Prussian Posted 28 May 2014 Posted 28 May 2014 Heard Schluppy had a good game the other night (according to twitter talk) but found nothing on the game. Anyone know how much he and RM have played in recent friendlies? Mahrez can't be playing until the 31st of May (against Armenia) and then maybe again in the second pre-WC friendly versus Romania (4th of June). Both matches are taking place in Switzerland. The Black Stars aren't in action until the 31st, as well. Then they'll fly to the US for two more friendlies against Costa Rica and Honduras in LA. http://www.ghanasoccernet.com/ghana-line-pre-world-cup-friendlies-costa-rica-honduras-black-stars-camp-europe-america/

lgfualol Posted 31 May 2014 Posted 31 May 2014 Algeria have a friendly tonight, would be cool if Mahrez appeared.
benpicko Posted 31 May 2014 Posted 31 May 2014 Algeria have a friendly tonight, would be cool if Mahrez appeared. Any streams listed or anything?
lgfualol Posted 31 May 2014 Posted 31 May 2014 And Morgan played for Jamaica last night, apparently did very well.
Collymore Posted 31 May 2014 Posted 31 May 2014 Any streams listed or anything? Check back here just before kick off. Marhez kick off 17:00 Schlupp Kick off 19:30
dbtcity Posted 31 May 2014 Posted 31 May 2014 Schlupp is starting at left back for ghana v holland tonight
Sharpe's Fox Posted 31 May 2014 Posted 31 May 2014 Schlupp is starting at left back for ghana v holland tonight Does that put him against Robben? Gulp.
ousefox Posted 31 May 2014 Posted 31 May 2014 Does that put him against Robben? Gulp. Will be very interesting to see!
Stadt Posted 31 May 2014 Posted 31 May 2014 Well it's good experience for Jeff coming up against Robben, Ronaldo and Reus (if he starts).
