Our Twinkle Twinkle little Starlets have a way for making us proud almost everytime they participate in Tournaments such as this. It is against this backgroud that I have become an ardent supportor of the side anytime there is an U 17 world cup. Ghana, having won this competion twice and an impressive record to boast of at the junior level, places a lot of burden on the shoulders of the current line-up. But I must be quick to add that I have been impressed by the performance of the team in their 1st game against Trinidad and Tobago. Right from the blast of the whistle, they made their intentions known that they will take nothig shy of a goal harvest. One thing particularly impresive about 
the side is their ability to pass the ball around with breathtaking speed. This is slightly different from the free flowing "one touch and pass" "Agoro" style we are used to. This is not to say that the Agoro style has been abondoned. Infact they have added the speed of the european League to the style making them one of the teams to beat. Special mention must be given to all the technical handlers of this side; those who are no more with the team and those who are still there. I applaude coach Silas Tetteh's poise and decision making. I would like him to smile a little bit in the next games though.
But most of all I give a double thumbs up for our gallent future Michael Essian's and Stephen Appiah's. Please take this chance to shine seriously, making your career the ultimate goal so you don't fizzle out early like some of your pre-decessors.I believe you can bring home the Ultimate prize!!By:Isaac Tetteh
