I believe you wanted to make show at Ghana at@ 60 with a trophy. Aboaba have a sakora celebration. Massa make sure you send your own competent legal team to go and defend Ghana in the sea boundary dispute with La Cote D'voire. If you fail to do that and leave the case for Mahama's incompetent legal team and Ghana loses the court case, I will have no doubt iny mind that you are nothing but a complete goat.

JUST IMAGINE THE ANGLE AND THE POWEER BEHIND THE KICK. IT WAS A GOOD AND LUCKY GOAL BY ALL STANDARDS, AND WE SHOULD NOT BLAME ANYBODY.

Why not blame boye for his beautiful assist.and counter attack,2 vs 1,no keeper has chance.the goal ofori conceded is the cheapest goal one will conceded.exactly where he was standing.
Until we take sentiment out of the way we judge others,we will always find ourselves trying to explain things when our favourites finally get the nod.no tram gone into a tournament with the mind of not conceding goals.but ghanaians;it's high tone we get ourselves out of old age and know that football has evolved.am yet to see any country in this world who blame and abuse their keepers for every goal conceede.we did the same to olele in spite of the fact that he was rated among the best 5 keepers in the tournament.

And the RUBBISH continues..........

This is a clear exhibition of indiscipline, arrogance, disrespect, non-patriotism, GREED, CORRUPTION and lack of planning by the management, coach and the players of the Black Stars and is a true reflection of the state of our society today. And so, the 2017 AFCON should be a lesson for all GHANAIANS.

And worst of all, we the citizens of Ghana politicize everything in our society!!!!!!! And now, football?

It even goes deeper than that..... Not upholding the basic rule of law and order is the order of the day in Ghana, today!

The consequences can be seen in every aspect of our society, from the classroom to the workplace, the streets to the criminal courts, rehabilitation centres, parliament and judiciary to the soccer fields.

For example, players beating up authority, players insulting the citizens of Ghana for criticizing them, a ban on 'okada' has rather led to an increase of it, nurses maltreating patients, bribery and corruption on the rise across board, drug and alcohol abuse on the rise, breaking traffic rules, littering the society with garbage, defecating in public places and many more anti-social behaviour are all a national ailment.

We Ghanaians should look deeply into ourselves and take the blame for allowing the depth of such canker to eat into our society of which, the Black Stars have displayed to us.

It is not only Ghana football that is dying, our entire nation is. But when it comes to football, the fruits of indiscipline and the arrogance we face today were sown from the playing days of Tony Yeboah, Abedi Pele, Sammy Kuffour and co., with all the shenanigans that went on then.

The lack of implementation of our laws by our authorities and the fear of losing votes by our so-called leaders has been the bane of our society and the Black Stars confirmed that through out the whole tournament.

SACK NYANTATKYI, GRANT, THE WHOLE MANAGEMENT, BRAIMAH AND A WHOLE LOT OF THE PLAYERS WHO UNDER PERFORMED MISERABLY!!!!!!!

GOD BLESS GHANA!
AFRICAN FOREVER!

You can bring the German Coach Joachim lowe ,and we still gonna lose or win by 1-0 games or penalty shots.Our biggest problem and i being saying this since i watched Ghana's first game after 14 yrs being outside of Ghana is we lack strikers like Tony Yeboah and Kwame Ayew.Gyan,Dede,Jordan all these guys are not strikers they are midfielders the goals they score are just lucky goals or flukes,thats why they not consistant with goals .What Ghana needs to do is copy what Germans have being doing for the past 50 yrs .We got a soccer academy for kids as young as 5 .All they do is soccer they live their entire life here in the Academy until one of the Bundesliga teams sign them at age 16,17,or 18.We train these kids specifically for the position we see they are gifted to play .And its not only here in Germany we do that lots of the EU countries got the same system .Guys like Lahm,Ozil,Neur,Gotze came out of this academy we had them here since they were 7 yrs old .Gotze and Ozil for instance all they did daily at practise was to shoot at the net over a human wall and cross balls .Tomas Muller all we trained him to do was to score goals

Let us face facts our players are all good our but sadly all the players we have are play makers they are not strikers that is our biggest problem now I do not how we can move forward when our old man baby jet says goodbye to soccer like it or not our baby jet has been around even for far tooo long God has really blessed him players normally don't last that long only few.He is no more young so far as soccer is concerned when they get to this time is all just expie that carry them through nobody remains a baby forever even Mike Tyson,Hollyfield,Mayweather all retire at some point in time if you watched the later matches of Tyson,Hollyfield,Mayweather,Azumah Nelson,Ike Kortey etc so will see that at some point they were not the fellows we knew to crack bones the sad part is that we can rely on Jordan as a striker because he is not he is just one day wonder very inconsistent scores if only you patience for him after every 20 matches our next striker for now is only Dede but Dede can not do all because he is a natural play maker like his father but can score if you blink for now let us start to rebuild what I do not appreciate about Avram Grant is that he was not able to build even a single local player I'm still for Akwasi Appiah but sadly I do not root for local coaches because history tells that our players sadly do not respect one of their own and the authorities also even make it worse for local coaches so for now let us continue foreign.Kudos to all the stars you all played as a team and you played your hearts out.God bless Ghana and the USA.

MOST OF THE AFRICAN TEAMS AT AFCON, FIELDED AS MANY AS 7 OF LOCAL PLAYERS SYNCHRONIZED WITH PLAYERS PLYING THEIR TRADE IN FOREIGN LEAGUES. EGYPT IS A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE WITH PLAYERS MAINLY FROM ZAMALEK AND EL AHLY. WE HAVE IMMENSE FOOTBALL TALENT ABOUNDING HERE IN GHANA, YET WE ARE CONTEMPTUOUS OF OUR OWN LOCAL LEAGUE AND OUR GIFTED PLAYERS. WE NEED TO ENHANCE OUR NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE, INSTEAD OF GREEDY AND SELFISH PEOPLE LIKE GFA PRESIDENT NYANTAKYI MAKING A GIFT OF THE LEAGUE TROPHY TO WA ALL STARS WHICH HE OWNS AND FINANCES FROM SIPHONED GFA RESOURCES WITH IMPUNITY! GHANA HAS THREE GOOD FOOTBALLERS AT AFRICAN CLUB CHAMPIONS TP MAZEMBE IN DRC - SOLOMON ASANTE AND OTHERS - BUT NOT EVEN ONE OF TFHEM WAS CALLED TO THE BLACK STARS, WHILST THEIR COLLEAGUE CONGOLESE TORMENTED OUR DEFENCE! IS THIS NORMAL? WHAT HAPPENED TO LATIF BLESSING, THE MEDEAMA FREE-KICK EXPERT? ALL THE FOUR AFRICAN CUPS WON BY GHANA - 1963, 1965, 1978, 1982 - WERE ACHIEVED WITH THE HELP OF GHANAIAN LOCAL PLAYERS, AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY, GHANAIAN LOCAL COACHES, AND LOOK WHERE WE ARE TODAY WITH FOREIGN PLAYERS AND COACHES! LET US GIVE CHANCES TO OUR LOCAL TALENTS, BY SELECTING AT LEAST 10 LOCAL PLAYERS INTO THE 26 INITIAL AND, MANDATORILY, FIELDING AT 5 LOCAL PLAYERS IN EVERY INTERNATIONAL ENCOUNTER. LET US STOP WASTING OUR LOCAL TALENTS, BECAUSE PLAYING ABROAD DOES'NT MEAN ONE IS A GOOD AND INDISPENSABLE FOOTBALLER. UNLESS, OF COURSE, AS IS BEING RUMOURED, THESE FOREIGN PLAYERS ARE BETTER POSITIONED TO BUY THEIR WAY IHTO THE NATIONAL SQUAD WITH FOREIGN EXCHANGE BRIBES TO GREEDY AND UNPATRIOTIC GFA EXECUTIVES, WHICH MUST BE STOPPED! SELECTION MUST BE BASED ON PROVEN TALENT, EXPERIENCE, WELLNESS, COMPETENCE, CONSISTENCE, AND ALSO PATRIOTISM!

Jordan Ayew may be a good player, but he is certainly not a goal-scorer or centre forward.

Jordan Ayew may be a good player, but he is certainly not a goal-scorer or centre forward.

So long as he remains up front, the Black Stars will continue to find it difficult to win games.

We must bring back Majeed Waris, and try Ebenezer Assifuah, Joe Dodoo, David Accam and Latif Blessing too. These are natural goal scorers in a way that Jordan Ayew is not.

Asamoah Gyan is coming to the end of his career. We cannot replace his physicality up front, but we can get other strikers.

Had we won the cup all you NPP boys would have been saying the change brought us victory. Now that we have total failure you have to swallow the insults. Have you all forgotten what Asiamah said after visiting the Stars ? Just keep politics out of these games.

The management approves the squad after the coach's selection. Remember Nyantakyi said they debate on the players and the coach has to justify why a player is selected.

Razak Brimah is the cousin of Sannie Diarrhea and all the GFA executives have their pets in the team. Favouritism is the order of the day.

It's even a shame Dede Ayew was sprinkling juju on the pitch, when he dare not do that in Europe. Trumu trumu Asa gyan Gyan connives with Nyantakyi to dupe the nation.

This is a 419 government that takes delight in deceiving Ghanaians with media propaganda.

We thank Black Stars for Winning the Cup for Short Man Akufo-Addo.

Nana my foot!!!
