Having shown charming skill and sleek football artistry at the last mundail, Appiah's slow walk up to the pitch is a welcome good for Ghana at a time when most of our key players have seen the sick bench. At least its a white cloud in the midst of seeming failure at the World Cup.
A real sigh of relief for the Capitano.
Ghana fans are hopeful that their skipper Stephen Appiah will make the World Cup team after as he made the bench of his new club Bologna over the weekend.
The midfielder's club career has virtually been on life support following a knee injury that has kept him out of competitive club football for about two years.
In an uncanny future meets the past scenario, Appiah watched from the bench as his side drew 1:1 against Udinese, featuring the young Ghanaian midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah who has taken up Appiah's role in the Black Stars.
The 'Tornado' who led Ghana to its first ever World Cup in 2006 is a favourite of Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac and many Ghanaian fans.
Appiah recently expressed interest in representing Ghana at the World Cup saying: "I am very determined to break into the first team,' he told Soccer Week. 'This is an opportunity I wouldn't want to miss. Ask 10 out of 11 players and they will tell you how important the World Cup or any major tournament is to their career."
