Head Coach of Ghana’s national team James Kwesi Appiah has revealed he is not missing out on the opportunity to learn from the ongoing 2018 World Cup in Russia despite only having to watch it on TV.

The Black Stars had played at successive World Cup tournaments between 2006 and 2014.

But failed to qualify for this year’s mundial after losing the slot to Egypt.

That according to Appiah has not stopped him from enjoying the tournament as spectator although he hopes Ghana will be there at the next gathering slated for 2022 in Qatar.

"I have enjoyed watching it," Appiah told KweseESPN.

"Naturally, I would have wanted to be there and I hope that at the next World Cup, we are there, but I am learning a lot from watching on TV.

"There is so much you can pick from a game and for me this tournament has been a great learning experience.

"It has been a great World Cup and a very difficult tournament to predict because every team has improved and the games are very competitive.

"I have been impressed by Croatia and I think Belgium have done a superb job so far.

"England look to me like they are playing with a lot more freedom. These three teams for me are all capable of going all the way."
