You matured in the game very very early , for which you were able withstand all pressured on and off pitch.
You had a coconut head.
I am not surprised that with all the pressure on Ghanians , Jordan Ayew took both penalties as if he was on training ground
The pressure and huge crowd didn't matter to him

In 1992, if football handlers were to be honest, Abedi was the world best player. Oh Yes! And they knew it.
We don't have any problem with you or the Ayew family camp. No! Not at all!!

Our problem has to do with bad performance. Like Jordan and Dede are giving us now.

Massa, speak for yourself. Some of us have a lot of problems with the sons of this great man. Abedi is the greatest Ghanaian player ever, to me. However he needs to tell his sons to retire from the BS. Dede is out of form, when he scores one goal, he will waste all his energy running as if he has just won the afcon and the world cup. Jordan has no sense of urgency, and has always been inconsistent at the BS. We need a new era, wand we tyhank them for their services, no one plays the Black Stars for ever!!!

They lacked maturity akwasinappiah especially ahould have used this opportunity to show the gh coach Otto phister that making abedi pele the captain was a rweeibke mistake. UT since he akwasi appiah couldn't guide, lead the team to win the trophy. He simply showed that he didn't have what it took to be bstar captain. How can you rely on abedi alone to win a trophy? On paper gana had a better team by far than ivory coast but the team lacked leadership without abedi and none of the players had the insight to take matter unto their own hands. They were all shifting blame towards one another oh...very synonymous with gh leadership right now. Very irresponsible

Sir Pele, please don't be offended when the nation backslash you for unexpected performance. The thing is this that you are the eye of the entire nation when it comes to football. We always bank our hopes on you and when it turns out that you are not able to make it as we expect we become so much disappointed. Its all part of love even though you don't force anyone to love you. Love too is unconditional. The truth is that we expect too much from you and when the expectation doesn't outweighs the actual, there is always anger.

Africans are basically and inertly tribalistic. The reason we find it difficulty to put nations ahead of tribal identities and progress.

You can't unite anyone group of people who don't want to be united because they think of you as an inferior being compared to them even though you have the best accolades, money, recognition this is what white racist ppl from the village think of blacks..a white racist has this belief that no matter who they are poor white trash they are still better than even Obama or a black professional. So if you have some asantes on the tram who think this way how can you expect them to unite with abedi?

Abedi Pele Is A Natural And Talented Footballer, But He Lack Leadership Experience. Abedi Should Humble Himself And Play Like An Ordinary Player. Leadership Is By God Not By Force. Abedi, Everybody Who Like Football Will Surely Like You And Your Styles Of Playing. But, You Went Too Far By Snatching The Captainship. Arrogant, Too Sure, And Selfish Led You Into A Temptation. Remember, Football Is An Eleven Man's Squad So If You Decide Alone, You Will Finally Find Yourself Alone. Just Dis-arm Your Son DEDE Ayew From The Captainship And Remain As A Simple Player And See The Future Of Black Star. You Have Hijacked The Black Star With The Captainship Until You Free The Team Before Peace And Progress Will Rain In Ghana National Team. Thanks, And I Love You.

Skipper Abedi Pele Yes, You Have About 200 Questions To Answer To Ghanaians. You Snatched The Captainship For Yourself And Continued Snatched It To Your Son DEDE Ayew With The Helped Of Corrupts GFA Officials. For The Past Two Decayed You See The Big Damages You Have Created. All Your Plans To The National Team Has Gone To Ditch. Due To Arrogant, And Selfish Interest. Remember When The National Team Were No More With You. It Was Then Essian, Sulley Ali Muntari, Stephen Appiah Under Sylla Tetteh Qualified The Team For The First Time In History To The World Cup In Germany. But When You Came Back And Hijacked The Team For Your Children, Things Went Backwards Again. Humble Yourself, Free The National Team And See The Wonders That Will Comes To You. Thanks.

Great players like Maradona, Messi, Osei Kofi etc., gave their nations a cup or two. Cupless dilutes greatness! Football is about CUPS. Well, Abedi didn't excel in cup acquiring, but his son got us an Under cup- fair enough. These generation must learn a lesson out of Abedi cup drought: if you wanna be absolutely great, then win a cup for your nation.

Masa say the truth. There was a huge fliction in the team. What happened between you and Anthony Yeboah on the said day when you were shown the yellow card. Selfishness, and arrogance. See you are exhibiting same here. We're you the only player on the field for you to say I! I!! I wanted to win the match. It is called team work which your line doesn't have any and has followed the team since your children came in the scene.

The Old adage goes: "Once bitten, twice shy". God forbid: Abedi Pele is not seriously suggesting that we leave the deterioration of the Ghana Black Stars as is -- because of the parenting style of Africans. For sure, my parents did not bring me up that way. They held me accountable for all my actions -- including academics. They demanded real improvements; and I obeyed. In perspective, we must drastically overhaul the entire operation of the Ghana Black Stars -- i.e. from management to the captain of the team. The time is ripe for Andre Ayew to step down as the of the Ghana Black Stars.The situation of the Ghana Black Stars calls for a meat-cleaver. We can not go on in this fashion. May Lord Almighty continue to bless our beloved Great Ghana: Amen!!!

Surely the gist of African football. Between 1991 and 1992 Abedi was the best player in the world. At the time Africans were not considered for the balon dor. Pele is peerless in football. A true maestro who was graceful with the ball. I type with tears in my eyes. Abedi Ayew Pele the soccer maestro. We may never see another one like this footballing god.
