[edit] Largest Win

I've just watched part of the documentary series "The History of Football: The Beautiful Game" and seen former Ghanaian international player Osei Kofi speaking of playing for Ghana against the Kenyan national side in 1965 and defeating Kenya 13-0. Which beats the largest win shown here on this page of 12-0 against Malawi. RSSSF doesn't have this result under Ghana (http://www.rsssf.com/tablesg/gha-intres.html) but it DOES have this result under Kenya albeit without a precise date (http://www.rsssf.com/tablesk/kenya-intres.html) where it is shown as a Jamhuri Cup match.

Is there any other confirmation of this match and result? Jooler 06:18, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I am having trouble verifying the largest defeat someone put up. I can't find any mention of it on RSSSF etc., but sources like this one [1] seem to suggest it happened. Is there some kind of requirement, like only including competitive matches? Iae 12:25, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image editing

How do I edit or change images. I would like to perfect the images of Ghana's national team jerseys Kodakie 13:56, 26 June 2006 (CET)

• The jerseys on Wikipedia football team articles are put together using a special composite template; you can find out how to use it at Template talk:Football kit. To customise the images any further than what is already available, however (for example, to make the star design for the Ghana jerseys), you would need to use an external image editor such as Photoshop and then upload the file. --Kwekubo 14:46, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recent Results Section

I recently re-organized this section into table format so things were a bit more readable. The results however now stretch into 2005. Is there a criterion for deciding the time frame for this ? -- (just in case I am not aware of it?)

If there isn't, I suggest that results over the previous year are included so that the current cut off point should be such that only matches from January 2006 (or January 2005?) onwards are included. This then stays till 2008 when the cut off shifts to 2007 (or ???2006) etc. This way results for the last year at least are always available.

I would not like to edit this myself as people such as Deciiva have put a lot of effort into getting this page to this stage.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ghana FA.gif

Image:Ghana FA.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:47, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kit

Ghana wear an all white first strip with black trim today, but prior to the World Cup 2006 qualifiers the home kit was usually all yellow.

When did this change from yellow to white take place and were there any reasons for it? Jonzi9 (talk) 14:33, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] History section

This whole section appear very unencyclopaedic. Much of it makes no reference to the national team, the subject of the article; those parts that do are quotation- rather than fact- driven. I strongly suspect that there are large lumps of copyvio, but I have only been able to identify one source so far. Kevin McE (talk) 17:48, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Article length?

Should this page be broken into several? Some of the lists could be single pages so as to keep the page length down. Just my idea.
