GFA -Don't Kill Our Dreams

  • Why has the entire Ghana Football Association(GFA) moved to Germany? Was it necessary? We are now left with a situation where there are probably more officials than players in camp. Who is playing? Is it GFA or the Black Stars?

  • Our biggest weakness against Italy was tactics. We played old-fashioned football, which was very good to watch, but not result oriented. Yet most of the GFA officials in Germany know nothing about the technical part of soccer. We prefer to send 10 administrators for each technical staff instead of the other way round.

  • Why was GFA spokesman (he prefers to call himself communication director) Randy Abbey on the bench? The bench is for technical people not self-appointed ?pressmen?. Ghana was the only country with a media man on the bench during the first round matches ? Even ?confused? Togo knew better

  • None of the 32-participating countries kept their standby players in Germany, when it became obvious they will not be used. Only Ghana did.

  • Last but not the least, the presence of President Kufuor also but undue pressure on the players.
