Why did you not allow Konadu to finish his assignment if you know you cannot win? Now you are trying to throw dust into our eyes. If you lose no problem, but if you win, you will claim credit in front of the whole world even though you know you did nothing to merit it. Foolish Ghanaians and their "Monkey dey work, baboon dey chop business".

Tawiah this ur comment is uncalled for. Any smart coach will try to take the pressure off his players in a tournament like this. Tell me mr tawiah since they put the hot favorite tag on Ghana, have we ever lived up to it? The answer is a big NO. So y shouldn't we take that deceptive tag off our shoulders this time in order to take off the unnecessary pressure we bring to our players. We don't play we'll under pressure. And u should know by now that Ghana does so well as underdogs than being branded favorites. So Avram is right. He is a very experience coach so just give ur support n stop the unesessary criticisms.

I see this selection as indeed a 5-2-2-1 formation when we are defending but could change to be any one of the the attacking formations when we have possession of the ball. What a mind game formation set by the coach.

They are sitting back and absorbing pressure. Senegal just equalized and are pushing for the lead. Jordan needs to come out, as well as Atsu

Black stars have played $5000 worth of soccer. ..you scratch my back o scratch your back as the saying goes and is evidenced by their performance against senegal.

If you are a coach and you are going to a tournament and you do not have the intention of winning then, it is better you do not show up; and this is what Avram Grant is. He does not seem to be confident. Even when Ghana scored through penalty, I did not see him showing any sign of happiness. He looks mean and I am not sure whether Ghana can succeed under his watch.

Just over-paid. He had no clue when the game was not going well for Ghana.

Oh I see, AVGrant is not just useless, but is without hope as well. Shame on the GFA for bringing this questionable coach to fetch away our dollars. Never seen the Black Stars look so mediocre!

Even the commentators on beIn Sport kept asking why Ghana hired Grant, a man, they pointed out, who has no clue what African football is like. And it showed.

Nyantakyi never seen nothing yet. Disgrace shall be his portion all the rest of his life. It is not the coach"s fault or the players but the evil coefficient THIEF Nyantakyi who is constantly being cursed by yhe Ghanaian taxpayer. Nyantakyi must go for Ghana to be free. Period.

A goalie who can't kick? That is a very important part of the job. You see what led to Senegal's first goal? We are surely finished. What a useless coach!

I am watching South Africa vs Algeria. Man, I tell you, Ghana BETTER up, and up, their game. These two countries are playing on a different (highr) level. BTW, SA just missed a penalty; hit the crossbar at the same spot as did Gyan in the WC.

O-le South Africa!!! Man they are fun to watch.

Walking football+Coach not taking advantage of the space given to motivate and guide the team. Most of the corner kicks were plaed to the other end for throw ins, and never was any player told to stay there. The Coach who has taken over 100% did nothing except sitting like a spectator. If he can only analyse the match by throwing in the towel then he must stay off for now.

First match and you give up. Why? Mr. so you mean you cannot do anything to the team to win the next two matches. Poor, poor, Grant .....

GHANA WILL NOT WIN ANYTHING IN A TOURNAMENT ON TILL THEY GET RID OF ASAMOAH GYAN AND HIS ASSOCIATES FROM THE TEAM. WE SHOULD RELY ON THE LOCAL PLAYERS MORE THAN THE BIG NAME STARS WHO CAN NOT DO ANYTHING. GHANA LIFTED THE AFRICAN CUP 4 TIMES WITHOUT A SINGLE PROFESSIONAL PLAYER IN THE TEAM. I REMEMBER WHEN GFA TOOK THE CAPTAINSHIP FROM AKWASI APPIAH AND HANDED IT TO ABEDI PELE BECAUSE HE WAS A PROFESSIONAL IN THOSE DAYS. SINCE THEN WHAT HAVE WE DONE. THE LOCAL PLAYERS CAN FIGHT LIKE WOUNDED LIONS AND GET US TO GLORIES. GHANA NEED A STRONG COACH IN THE LIKENESS OF JOSIE MORINO OF CHELSEA, TO BUILD THE TEAM.
