this why Akwasi Nyantaky is useless as GFA boss:

Why don't we develop our pre-k to elementary soccer academy like Uruguay or Brasil, but wait til when they all grown up?

Who is the best elementary school football player? How about high school or tertiary best players?

What moves or off-season acquisitions is Fabu making to boost the team striking force etc?

If you watch the third place game again, you will realize that either Ghana or Iraq should have won the gold; not France.

Assifuah scored 6 goals in 7 matches. That's better than any strikers we have on the Black Stars. It's about time we stop calling people like Jordan Ayew a 'striker'. He is not really Black Stars material either!

What do you mean by our boys were not all that good. Did you watch the games. Placing third in a world cup tournament is in itself a testament to their quality.

Yes, you are right. Assifuah, Boakye Yiadom, Attamah, Addico, and the winger who scored the third against Iraq wearing the # 7.
We must keep a close eye on these guys.

It came too late, but the Satellites today exhibited a championship winning performance. For once the defence was solid and the keeper was magnificent. No wonder we kept a clean sheet for the first time in the tournament. From what I saw today, I believe there could have been a different outcome in our semi-final match if those 3 suspended players were available. Still congratulations to the boys for making Ghana and Africa proud. Let's hope some of them have gained enough experience and would be ready for the Black Stars in the near future.

What can I say Tetteh is a late learned watching FRA Vs. URU we could have won our second cup if "Sir" Tetteh had gotten his act together. He need to take time off and better his skills and also GFA needs to hand over this team to him after his skill update to be the U-23 team with winning the 2016 Brazil as the target.

Mr N I like your far-sighted idea of grooming these talented lads to make up the Black Meteors. Sellas is not that bad but I think if he is to undertake any course then it should be in the art of defending. That is where he is lacking at the moment. And that is what let him down as coach of Rwanda. Apart from refresher courses, he can also be given charge of the Local Black Stars to give him more coaching experience.

Doctor Rasheed, you have been telling Ghanaians day in day out that Tetteh is not a good coach and you have been predicting the Satellites will lose a every match because of that. Now you claim because the guy HAS NO LUCK that's why the cup was not won. So which is which Dr Rasheed? It appears you are indulging in your trademark DOUBLE SPEAK, once again, I guess. You may wallow in your state of denial. But many Ghanaians are grateful we got so far given the mountain we had to climb.

I don't know what's wrong with him. He kept giving the ball away because he thinks so slow and doesn't know what to do with the ball. He does not deserve a Black Stars call ever.

Frank Acheampong and Assilfuah can make it, the others are not ready. Lartey is good but we have a slew of good fours in the Blackstars there is no place for him now in Blackstars.

Who knows what might have happened if the three players had not been suspended for the semi-final?

We must keep this squad together and develop it.

My Bruder,if not b`cos of Lapeewa,some of us could not have completed school.This traditional low-cost diet helped us immensely.

Anyway,I do agree with you; these young and promising Starlets should be well-fed so that they can take over from our ageing Black Star boys!

Ringo, don't get me wrong. Nkonkonte with a well prepared Okro soup is a fantastic meal! I used to play defense for a juvenile team for one of the local clubs. Anytime I ate this meal before a game, I could not run more than ten yards without gasping for breath and we ended up losing. I always recall what that meal did to me; that is why I passed the comment. But hey, I sneak to the bush canteen every now and then to go and enjoy it. And I do insist our boys stay away from it. Else they will fizzle out of soccer before they reach age 25. Their Brazilian mates always wonder why they (our boys) drop out so quickly.
