Ghana continues its build up to the World Cup with several activities highlighted in the local media. Here, we pick up the issues making rounds in pubs, bars and on student campuses. Lets rock and roll!
Kevin-Prince apologises to Ballack
German-born Ghana midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng has apologized to Michael Ballack for the tackle that ended the German skipper's World Cup dreams.
Boateng rued the tackle and insisted the was no intention to harm: "All I can do is apologise," Boateng told Sport Bild after stressing that he had already apologised to Ballack. "I was just too late and I hit him straight on. It looked stupid. I apologised to him twice on the field and now for a third time. I am sorry. It was not intentional.
Milo sings Appiah praise
It is no secret that Ghana's boss Milovan Rajevac is a fan of Black Stars captain Stephen Appiah. Some have questioned the inclusion of the 29 year-old Bologna player, who only played in his club's final two games of the season, in Ghana's provisional World Cup squad. However Rajevac has risen in Appiah's support.
He hailed Appiah's on and off-pitch leadership qualities, which he says are vital to the team at the World Cup. He declared that if Appiah could work on his fitness he would be on the plane to South Africa.
"It depends on himself. Once he's fully fit then he can be there [World Cup]." Milo said on Ghanafa.org "But I must say, Appiah's condition now is better than before."
Ghana FA to meet Chelsea officials, doctors on Essien
Officials of the Ghanaian FA will meet with Chelsea officials and Michael Essien next week to determine the true status of the player's knee problem. The midfielder has been injured since January and there are doubts he would be available for the World Cup despite being named in Ghana's provisional squad.
"The plan right now is to have a detailed meeting with the Ghana FA and with Chelsea as well in the next few days," Essien is quoted as saying on Ghanasoccernet.com.
"We are organising that as we speak so everyone will be fully informed about the situation and the progress on a daily basis."
GREAT WORK! KEEP IT UP MANE.
