Union Berlin have confirmed that 🇬🇭 Derrick Kohn has been called up by the Black Stars for this international break. The defender was called up for the World Cup qualifiers in September but failed to play because the FA had not gotten FIFA approval.

Mohammed Hussein apology for his outburst post-Super Clash.
The just-ended Super Clash nearly turned into a game of fists between a Hearts of Oak player and the referee following Phobias defeat. #SportyFM

Quick thoughts on Hearts 0-1 Kotoko: • On attendance: should we schedule @GhanaLeague matches based on EPL/LaLiga kickoffs? • the offside • good/bad of Sunday's GPL Super Clash 📹 in full: https://t.co/1EqRPJPK3M

Some of you behave like offside calls in every league in the world are not debated every single week. Maybe you will consider Grok's opinion on why it is important to ask if the offside call was a good call or not. 👇🏾
@hakeemhak11 @garyalsmith According to FIFA's Law 11, a player is offside if any part of their head, body, or feet is nearer the opponents' goal than the ball and second-last opponent when the ball is played by a teammate, and they interfere with play. In the video, Wayo seems in an offside position at

Yɛ blɛ o. Yɛ blɛ paa.
For a football Journalist to ask if this offside call was a good call or not is either he's involved in engagement farming or has agenda against the referee or the team leading or placed a draw bet for the match.

I was not at the game, and the reason I can't give a definite opinion is because I don't know if the ball came off Seth Kwadwo or not. This angle is not clear enough to offer a sound opinion.
@garyalsmith Unnecessary agenda.. you JOURNALISTS are supposed to be protecting referees. Any person with football knowledge wouldn’t be questioning this decision.

Asante Kotoko were leading when, late into Ghana's biggest club football match, Hearts of Oak got this goal — but ref Reginald Collins whistled for offside just before Mawuli Wayo pulled the trigger. Good call or not? FT: 🌈 0-1 🦔 https://t.co/7LTA9wU0Xm

I think you are overthinking this, champ. Ghanaians love our tribes and ethnicities, but you are overplaying the depth of tribalism in a simple call to action (=come and support Accra's most glorious vs. Kumasi's most fabulous), in my opinion. Enjoy the game.
Club derby promos in the EPL (e.g., Manchester derby posters /club social promos) use players, stadium and city identity, not ethnic groupings. See typical Man City derby promo posts.

Pretty obvious to me that @GhanaLeague is tapping into the formative origins of Hearts and Kotoko, just like ElClasico leans into Madridismo and Catalan spirits or Manc Derby leans into the community origins etc. As modern as clubs are/want to be, their heritage anchors them.
@OfficialSitso @SaddickAdams @theyawofosu @ChristopherNim8 @Dani77k @garyalsmith @iamrahmanosman @julietbawuah @_owurakuampofo @OtiAdjei @Fentuo_ @nathan_quao Let them know chale Hearts vrs Kotoko, not Gas vrs Akans

Award-worthy, definitely. Congratulations, brother. 👏🏿
A few days after I wrote this article, @Manasseh_Azure reached out. He told me it was a very good piece. The GJA Awards Committee judges agree with him. Maybe, Manasseh saw this coming over a year ago. https://t.co/1yQi1xhx7Q
