How can God bless us with success when our president lied his way to power? The Bible says: THOU SHALT NOT LIE.

The coach had his back against the wall, since the antidotes to his tactics was discovered. He couldn't vary anything. Please work harder on your tactics else you have no business at the world edition.

Afriyie has been showering praises on P3 Edziban paa Fabin. He is even is planning to sack Appiah and replace him with Osum2 niyeni waa Fabin. Sellas should take the boys to India to save us from humiliation.

GH U17 LOST TO MALI IN AFCON FINAL: 1. I ADVICED THIS COACH TO START OUT WITH THE COUNTER. THESE MALIANS ARE OVERAGED, TALL BUT SLOW. THE COUNTE R WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE GH PLAYERS SPEED. AS THEY ENTER THE MALIAN 18 ON THE COUNTER. GOOD THINGS ARE BOUND TO HAPPEN....BUT HE DIDNT LISTEN. COACH WENT OUT N PLYED OPEN SOCCER FOR 90 MINUTES. SMH
2. THE PLAYERS NEED TO EAT RICE, CHICKEN N POTATOESN LIFT METAL
3. THE STRIKERS N WINGERS NEED TO PRACTICE INCURSIONS INTO THE 18, FREEKICKS, CROSSES, CORNERS N SET PIECES OVER N OVER UNTIL THEY CAAN DO IT WITH THEIR EYES CLOSED. SULLEY N AYIAH MUST BE THE STARTERS
4. U NEED TO BEEF THE TEAM WITH 1 BIGGER DEFENDER, 1 YEKINI TYPE STRIKER AND A #10 WHO CAN DRIBBLE ROUGH ROUGH. AYIAH IS AN 8, SULLEY CAN PLAY 6 OR WING
5. THE COACH NEEDS TO VARY HIS TACTICS. U NEED TO ADOPT THE COUNTER R N OPEN STYLE OF PLAY N ADOPT EACH STRATEGY AS PER THE STRENGTHS N WEAKNESSES OF YOUR OPPONENT. EVEN MAYWEATHER WILL TELL U THAT HE NEVER DEPENDS ON ONE SOLUTION TO WIN IN THE RING.
GH SHOULD HAVE WON THIS GAME BUT I BLAME IT ON THE COACH, NOT THE PLAYERS...COACH HEAD DIE...HIS BRAIN HAS ENTERED HIS BELLLY...MUAHAHAHAHAAHAA"I'm a boxer who believes that the object of the sport is to hit and not get hit" Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

Fire that coach before he even gets to Ghana.

He won only two matches and has no variation in his play. He lacks technical abilities.

The government of ghana have changed, the sports minister is too small and young to re organize the gfa, sack the entire group and bring mature responsible people to manage football and we would see results.

You are very correct NPP sees politics in everything, I don't know if they think that is enough to make them remain in power forever. NPP's exit will witness a lot of drama in this country. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

What a fat and uninspiring coach we have in Paa Kwasi Fabin. Does he train with the boys? Too much meat on him. Hmmmm.

Anytime Ghana loses a match we have somthing to apportion the blame to.A lot of you guys on this platform did not watch the match but are busy sharing their opinion.The Malians were far better than us tactically.The team went to sleep after the first two matches and this raises a lot of question marks on the tactics of coach Fabin.Anyway all is not lost for the world cup.Nigeria was second in the last edition of the afcon U17 which was won by this same Malians but went ahead to win the world cup.We can emulate that feat.

Lets stop the excuses of overage because of the build of the Malians. It is a fact that Malians are generally taller and bigger than Ghanaians. We are diminutive in stature, and that is a fact. The Malians were simply better than us, and we were lucky to lose by only a one goal margin. They came with a strategy to run at us and use empty spaces to their advantage, and it worked to perfection. Our coach proved how useless most Ghanaians coaches are. A good coach is one who is able to read a difficult situation in a match and come up with a strategy to deal it after the interval. However, while we were able to create some chances in the first half, the second half was worse as we could not create even a single goal scoring opportunity. To cap how useless he is, the coach brought in defenders and midfielders at a time we needed a goal desperately and had nothing to lose. Where were the strikers, especially the fast and strong running stocky Arhin who came in and scored in the match against Gabon. Perhaps he could jhave helped in troubling the tall, lanky central defender. Overall, we lost to a better team with a better tactical approach to the match.
