Be good if one of football media could find if he is interested/eligible for AWs or not?

Sure he was shark at Nix, but since then he’s been doing okay. I think he missed first few games of K League resumption post World Cup, due to injury.

Playing at a much higher level than a host of players, that went to India recently.

Appiah started midweek in Incheon FA Cup match as they went down 2-1 to a 3rd tier side. They conceded in added time for the 8th time this season (3 draws, 5 losses, could also add in a 6th lost to an 89th minute goal tbh).

Incheon plays a relegation 6 pointer tonight at 10pm, the game will be streamed on TAB Watch & Bet if anyone is interested.

Incheon is one of the former clubs of Korean guy trialling with the Nix?

23 mins off the bench as Incheon lose 1-0 to Pohang Steelers. Picked up a yellow.

Unlike his alter ego Bolt, his football team will at least be playing him on merit.

Incheon beat Daegu 2-1.

Appiah subbed on at 72 minutes with score 1-1. Two minutes later Incheon score the winner.

Crowds in the K League are pretty abysmal. Only 1,000 at Daegu for this one.

An unused sub as Incheon lose 1-0 to Daegu in the first round of relegation series. 

Relegation series is bottom six teams of K1 League regular season, playing each other once as a pool. After those games bottom team (6th) of pool is automatically relegated. 

2nd bottom side (5th) of pool plays a K2 side in relegation playoffs.

Gets 10 mins off the bench as Incheon beat 2-1 Sangju Sangmu in the relegation playoffs.

FYI - I note Soccerway now has Appiah under an Aussie flag. Previously was the one with red Southern Cross stars.

Stays on the bench as Incheon beat Gangwon 3-2.

Ex Socceroo Dylan McGowan with a goal for Gangwon.

At this stage in the relegation round Incheon sit 5th of the 6 team teams, occupying relegation playoff spot ie playoff game against a K2 side.

I note Soccerway now has Appiah under an Aus flag, rather than NZ one.

Arnie must have had a quiet word to him.

On the bench as Incheon play Seoul in the relegation round. 

Two rounds to go and Incheon occupy the relegation playoff spot (2nd last), and Jeonnam Dragons the automatic relegation berth (last), being 4 points behind Incheon. So if Incheon beat Seoul today they then can't be automatically relegated, and Jeonnam would be.

However if Incheon lose today, and Jeonnam beat Daegu - it would be all on for next week in the last round when Incheon host Jeonnam - the loser for sure being automatically relegated.

Sangju Sangmu are also still in the relegation mix.

Appiah subbed on at 68 minutes as Incheon beat Seoul 1-0. Goal at 7 mins.

Means that Incheon have definitely avoided automatic relegation, as Jeonnam go down.

They can also possibly avoid the relegation playoff (against a K2 side), as they are now 2 points ahead of Sangju Sangmu (who have one game in hand over Incheon).

Stays on the bench as Incheon beat relegated Jeonnam 3-1.

Other results fall Incheon's way, and they also avoid the relegation playoff game against a K2 side.

So if Appiah stays at Incheon, it will be another season in the top Korean league.
