Ghanaian Suprise

Milovan Rajevac, has officially resigned today from the Ghanaian post. Many fans are disappointed with this. When asked why, he said "I am leaving my new family here, but its time for me to move on. I will be looking to go back to Serbia, and start my new life there. This might also be a permanent resign, which is know as retirement. Since I'm looking to start a great life at my home country Serbia."

New Manager Already!​

As soon as, Milovan Rajevac resigned, "The Black Stars" took no time to sign a new Manager, Juan Ramirez. Juan Ramirez is know to be one of the best scouts in the world and the chairman thought it would be great to have someone like him since he will be able to find the best players for the job. Juan Ramirez is a Brazilian that was born in Ghana and lived 10 years of his life in Ghana, till he moved to Brazil. JR, was very happy to be named Manager. "I'm happy to be here. I think if i had the choice between Ghana or Brazil, i would have choosen Ghana, since they taught me all i know, and i will do the best for this country. As football wise i will try my best to bring, Kevin Prince-Boateng into the squad, hes told me he would prefer playing German football but i think i will be able to brig him as soon as i show him what we are made of. I will also be might be looking to get rid of the old stars to add stamina to the team."

World Cup Dream Here​

"I have 3 goals as the Ghana manager" Said JR once taking post of Ghana. "Number 1, Qualify undefeated to the World Cup. Number 2 break the African Curse, yes i will get Ghana to the Semi-Finals at least. Last I will make Ghana a team that teams will fear, even Brazil."

Zambia

Juan Ramirez started his Ghana managerial career with a friendly match vs Zambia, they are in the group that includes, Former African Champions Egypt, Algeria and Rwanda. Zambia have gotten 4 point from 2 matches beating Rwanda 1-0 and getting a Draw against Egypt 1-1

JR starting eleven for this match was announced 10 minutes before the match:

G.Owo
N.Asare I.Vorsah J.Mensah J.Pantsil
K.Asamoah S.Muntari M.Essien
M.Amoah
A.Gyan D.Adiyiah

Ghana 3 - 1 Zambia
Essien x2, Amoah Mulenga (pen)

Impressed with the player, I knew he will be one of the most important for Ghana but he still gave more than i thought he could give, impressive​

JR: We were dominating the whole match giving Zambia no chances of producing anything. They had a few chances but we suffered when Vorsah made a dangerous sliding tackle inside the box and we suffered the consequences, but other than that im proud of my squad and they gave everything they got.

Sudan

Juan Ramirez will start his WCQ, with a match against Sudan that could qualify them if they win this match. Rumors are that JR will try the same formation he used against Zambia. Though it will most probably happen there will be no Problem since Sudan will probably will play with a more defending tacit, since they will try to at least draw.

Starting XI
D.Adjei
N.Asare E.Addo J.Mensah J.Pantsil
K.Asamoah M.Essien S.Appiah
M.Amoah
A.Gyan D.Adiyiah​

There were 3 changes to the starting XI, that played against Zambia. Change of keeper might mean that JR believes that Sudan will get no chance against there keeper.

Ghana 4 - 1 Sudan
Mensah, Gyan, Asamoah, Adiyiah, Amoah Osman​

JR: "We destroy Sudan today, I'm very proud of my team, we did great, i made changes to the squad but it seemed nothing happened and we still had our winning ways. I'm very proud we have qualified. We will see the other big team in the WC, cant wait to show what Ghana are made of."

Japan

Juan Ramirez, will be happy to get out of the continent to try his squad out against team thats doing great in the Asian continent to qualify to the WC. Unknown if he will try to shipshape the team or will start with a strong team to see the XI that will get a big chance to be the WC team.

Starting XI
D.Adjei
D.Addy J.Mensah I.Vorsah S.Inkroom
S.Muntari M.Essien J.Panstil
M.Amoah
A.Gyan D.Adiyiah

Ghana 2 - 2 Japan
Amoah x2 Makita x2

Key player to our draw today, hes been very impressive latly and im proud to have him in my team, can we do the same in the WC? i still dont know​

JR: I'm proud of my team, i brought 2 new faces and made a few changes due to injury and we still gave the Asians a hard time. I hope we see them again in the WC and show them how much stronger we will be by then, and then be able to go home as heros.

Benin

Yet an other match in the WC even though they have qualified. I wouldn't be surprised if Juan made a few changes to his team. He will still be there to be looking for the win but with changes?

Starting XI
R.Kingson
D.Addy E.Addo J.Mensah S.Inkroom
K. Asamoah S.Muntari M.Essien J.Panstil
M.Amoah
A.Gyan

Ghana 0 - 0 Benin​

JR: I'm a bit disappointed but we did everything we could to score. they had a total of 3 shots, while we had a total of 30. But I am proud of my team since i tried a new tactic and they seemed to adapt well. We gave them no breathing space but they managed to last. I will be hoping to win our next match

Mali

Last of the WCQ, Only 1 match away to keep JR promise of ending it being undefeated, all they need is a draw. I think he will try the tactic again to see what they can produce with a second match. I know he will try the outmost to win but not everytime luck is with you.

Starting XI
A.Larsen
D.Addy J.Quartly J.Mensah S.Inkroom
K. Asamoah S.Muntari M.Essien J.Panstil
D.Adiyiah
A.Gyan

Ghana 3 - 3 Mali
Adiyiah, Pantsil, Essien Bagayoko x2 Traore​

JR: WE should have won. We were ahead all the time. 1-0 then 1-1, then 2-1, 3-1 the player thought we had it won, and their lack of defense made it 3-3, we were 1-0 in HT and decided to revert to my old tactic. they scored a goal but my players responsed fast with 2 more. I guess we will make the defense more solid.


Juan Ramirez, kept one of his promises and his goals. Afters the days, when asked about it he said. "With this team, I will bring one thing home for sure, not the WC but i will win the ACON with this team, Egypt beware, i will come and take your title away."

African Cup of Nations​

Juan Ramirez: Here I am in one of the biggest competition here in Africa, the African Cup of Nations. Ghana have won it a few times, and I'm going to win it this year, as i promised when we qualified to the World Cup. I might make a few changes into the squad, since i sacked all my old staff and brought in a higher level staff for the World Cup.

Angola

Here is were it all starts, The Host vs Ghana. Juan Ramirez, has impressed everybody here making Ghana go to the WC, and they still remain undefeated with his management. He did promise the Nation he will bring the ACON home with him.

A.Gyan P.Tagoe
Ghana 3 – 0 Angola
Asamoah , Amoah, Tagoe

JR: I am impressed with Tagoe. The first match he ever has with me, and puts in a performance plus adding a goal, i might have found the striker i need for the World Cup. Hes done a wonderful job and might be able to replace the strikers, showing that this squad has many players, and dont just relie on a few players.

JR: Great match and happy to have beaten Mali since i could not do it when i played against them for WCQ.

JR: We are African Champions. I'm proud of that, just one problem. I know i might get banned but, the Referee was the worst i have ever seen. I got 4 men sent of that match at ET but you cant just do that, i mean how could my players get it but the dirty playing Cameroonians didnt get one single red, I'm very dissapointed so many of my players got red cards. but other than that let them celebrate, they deserve it.

World Cup Training

Juan Ramirez team, has made a schedule to play 2 teams before the World Cup. African Champions have decided to play Senegal, and big European side England. Juan Ramirez has made it clear that he wants Ghana to be the first African team that makes it to the semi-finals of the World Cup. Juan Ramirez has been in great form with the team, making Ghana undefeatable, they haven't lost once under his management. England will be a great challenge for Ghana to see their football level.

Senegal

Starting XI

Ghana 1 - 1 Senegal
Dominic Adiyiah Demba Ba

Juan Ramirez: "Very close match, even though I didn't bring many of my Key players, I would still expect for my team to beat a team like Senegal, I would thank Adiyiah for saving my managerial streak when scoring on the 83' minute."

England

Staring XI

Ghana 4 - 3 England

Essien x2 Pantsil Adiyiah Lampard x2 Agbonlahor

Juan Ramirez: "I happy about my players, they showed England they are one team that people should fear. Even if we had lost I would still be proud of my players by the performance they gave today, I was highly impressed with Essien today, moved the ball around great, and does know about English football since he play's in Chelsea so he taught the players something something and gave away England's weak spots, he could be a great captian."

​

Ghana have announced there 23 man squad tonight, with many surprises, lets start with the defense, there are no real surprises there, that is probably Ghana's strongest defense. Now the midfield, there is the likes of a player with Nationality that seems to be German, Kevin-Prince Boateng. There were speculations that this kid will join the national team of Ghana, after no offers came from Germany, KPB was said to be asked many times to come play with Ghana but had rejected many times and said his playing belongs to Germany. The other surprise there, is Prince Buaben, he only played once with Juan Ramirez, and didnt have the best of games. Now in the Foward area, Junior Agogo, makes the headlines, he has never played with Juan Ramirez, but he still decides to bring the striker with him.

​

Ghana - Kevin-Prince Boateng

Despite being born in Berlin and playing for Germany at every youth level, 23-year-old Kevin-Prince Boateng will represent Ghana, the country of his father, at the 2010 FIFA World Cup™. Blessed with strength, speed and a flamboyant amount of skill in the attacking third.


After coming up as a youth with Hertha Berlin, he made his debut in the first team in the 2005/06 season at just 18 years old. His performances in the Bundesliga were such that he earned a big-money move to Tottenham Hotspur, then coached by Martin Jol. The departure of the Dutch boss left Boateng out of the team and off for a loan spell with Borussia Dortmund, prior to his move to Portsmouth before last season.

Kevin-Prince Boateng has done wonders this year with pompey, but they still seem to have been relegated. Boateng, has been asked many times to join the Ghana national team many times, reported Juan Ramirez

I have tried to bring Kevin, many times into the squad, but every single time he would tell me no, my dream is to play with Germany, I do not know what changed his mind but I'm happy to bring him into the squad.

Boateng was interviewed immediately when he joined the Ghana national team. Boateng said many things but a few only were great.

"I would first like to say, that I'm sorry to the coach, I have to admit that he did try to bring me to the squad many times, and I rejected everysingle time until now, I knew that it was probably the last chance he would give me to play for Ghana. I would like to say that I was impressed when Ghana beat England, and that what made me choose Ghana over Germany for the first time.

Juan Ramirez: Great result for us playing against a team like Holland, I'm proud of my team, we were loosing 3-0 but they showed their spirit and got back from 3-0 down to 3-3, I would say there was great captaincy by Pantsil by not putting his head down but instead looking forward and trying to bring and turn this around.

Costa Rica

Ghana 5 - 3 Costa Rica
Adiyiah, Gyan x2, Essien, Pantsil Parks Ruiz

Juan Ramirez: Great game, we destroyed Costa Rica but looked a bit week at the end letting in 2 goals.

Round of 16
​

France

Starting XI

Gyan, Adiyiah Govou

Juan Ramirez: We beat France, one of the big names in Europe, we had a tight encounter, I could say that we were a bit lucky when beating them since we did get a penalty, and we had a great match but if it weren't for the penalty the match could have gone for longer, and we could have lost.

Qtr Finals

Semi-Finals

Finals
​

Brazil

Starting XI

Ghana 2 - 0 Brazil

Juan Ramirez: We have done what many people thought it was impossible, Ghana an African Nation has won the World Cup, we have done more than that as well, Gyan has done great, and has won Golden Boot with 6 goals, and has also won top assistan with 6, I can see him going to a big club in Europe now, Essien, has made Ghana proud, with scoring two goals in the finals. Now about my future i dont know what i will do. I wont lie i was offered Jobs in England, but i rejected them all, until the World Cup finished.
