“We know where Kumasi Asante Kotoko should be and we are going to work extra harder to achieve that.  The players are going to work harder, the management will work harder, the fans will work harder and we are going to work together”, Steve Polack told Joy Sports

The Eleven is To One midfielder is confident the new players will come good, but points the fusion is taking time to click.

“It is not a very good season for us but we hope to get it right very soon. We just promoted five players from the youth side.

“We are training hard so that we will be more relaxed in the league in the second round of the season”, Twum told Joy Sports.

David Accam Opens Up On His Rampant Form In MLS

written by Editor

Ghana international David Accam opened up on his razor blade form in  the MLS after a near perfect start to the season. The Chicago Fire attacker credited weight lifting and marshal art for his rampant form in the MLS.

In an exclusive interview from his Chicago based in the US, the Ghanaian import credited Chuck Norris for his ruthless form in the division. The Ghanaian forward grew up a fan of the television series “Walker, Texas Ranger,” which starred martial arts expert Chuck Norris.

“In Ghana, the show was huge, and every kid watched it when it was on once a week,” Accam said after practice Wednesday in Bridgeview.

Walker, a mix, recently gave birth to eight puppies back in Ghana.

“I haven’t seen the babies yet, but I have pictures and am looking forward to seeing them,” Accam said.

After scoring 19 goals over his first two seasons, Accam credits his decision to add a more strenuous weightlifting program in the offseason with helping his game.

“I feel sharper and stronger and can see the difference,” Accam said. “I know I can do better than what I’m doing, and hopefully I can get into my game more so we can get points on the road.”

The Black Stars forward is expected to earn a place in the team when the new list is release very soon.

GHPL Round Up: WAFA Keep Flying , Kotoko and Hearts Held

written by Editor

Week 13 of the 2017 Ghana Premier League produced mouthwatering results across the various league centres led by the Kasalgu Park in Utrecht, Tamale. The Stars of the East denied Accra Hearts of Oak on three separate occasions in a 3-3 thriller involving Bolga All Stars.

At the Tema stadium, the Harbour Boys secured their first win in six games against relegation battlers, Great Olympics. Malik Antrie found the opener for the Tema based side before J ames Akaminko confirmed the winner after Abel Manomey had restored parity for the 1970 champions.

Life after Lugarusic seem not to be going as anticipated as Kotoko are yet to win their opening two premier league games under coach Frimpong Manso and Godwin Ablordey. The Porcupines drew one -all with Fire Boys at the Baba Yara Sports stadium.

Kotoko are without a win in their last five league games. Zakaria Mumuni’s goal was cancelled by a second half goal from Kotoko’s Abass Mohammed after a missed spot kick by Kwame Boahene.

It was a festival of goals at the Tamale Utrecht park with both Hearts and Bolga All Stars scoring 3 in a 6 goal thriller. Ivorian import , Alex Kouasi, scored a goal in the dying embers to secure a point for Accra Hearts of Oak who are facing defensive crisis due to injuries to first choice centre backs Inusah Musah and Reuben Gnagne. Returnee midfielder Winful Cobbinah provided two assists in the game billed for the gods of the land.

It was all barren at the Nana Gyeabour Fosu Park as Bechem United and Ebusua Dwarfs drew goalless. The goalscoring prowess of goal king prospect, Nicholas Gyan, was curtailed by the defensive Bechem United side that failed to feast on the few chances that came their way.

Inter Allies arrived home from Elmina with a hard earned point against Elmina Sharks. The yawning mouths of the Sharks couldn’t swallow the Tema boys in the 0-0 stalemate thanks to the goal keeping heroics of Kwame Baah.

At the Sogakokpe park, WAFA made it 18 points out of 6 games as they continue their overwhelmingly impressive start to the season. The Academy Boys defeated the Scientific Soccer Lads 2-1. Togoleses striker Komlana Agbediniadan bagged a brace to nullify the effort of Liberty skipper , Samuel Sarfo Maldini. WAFA leads the table with 29 points after 13 rounds of fixtures.

Champions , Wa All Stars were undone by a 44th minute goal from Alfred Okai Quay at the Golden City Park in a 1-0 defeat for the Blues over the Northern Blues. A controversial rolling ball was swung in by Stephen Amankona without the consent of the referee only for Alfred to guide the ball home. It ended Wa All Stars 5 match unbeaten run away from home.
