Nyantakyi and apiah kept the bonuses with them,they ve put it in thier pokets,that's the reason why the boys were not motivated.if someone want to chalange me he should ask some of the players.the reason why ayews were exclude from the team because of money.nyantakyi cant refuse to pay them thier bonuses,if he do it the world and ghana will know.that's why ayews and muntari were out of the team to avoid problems.nyantakyi and his mafia group thing they are wiser than the rest of ghanains.They should wait and see what will happen to them in the future.

in defence of the UK psychologist let me say this;
1. every body coming to play for black stars comes with their personal commitment and ambitions
2. i doubt the psychologist was consulted before they had planned the bonus and activities. psychology is more than just talking to people, it also involves environmental engineering
3. when an intrinsically motivated player begins to receive high levels of extrinsic motivation, when u remove the extrinsic motivation, the intrinsic motivation will also go.

if they want to improve black stars dont bring in the psychologist at the last minute, make him part of the job.

i too am a psychologist. i know

Kojo, if you are a psychologist then you should know that the human intrinsic psychology is more powerful that the extrinsic one since the former is will-power on 'steroids' enabling the players to perform activities they don't need prompting to do. We don't know how long the psychologist was with the team since the writer never stated the duration or what methods s/he employed in motivating the players. I know one thing for sure: getting the psychologist that was in-charge of Ghana at Germany 2006. The team spirit back then was the highest I've seen within the black stars in the last 28 years.

The psyche of the whole nation is wrong,we need more than one psychologist to work on us.Even President John Mahama himself is not committed to the nation how much more football players.

THE PERFORMANCE OF THE BLACK STAR PALYERS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PSYCOLOGY, INTRINSIC OR EXTRINSIC.

THE LOVE OF GHANA (PATRIOTISM), AND THE PRIDE OF BEING GHANAIAN (NATIONALISM) IS SIMPLY LOST AMONG THE VAST MAJORITY OF GHANAIANS.

THIS HAS TO BE BLAMED ON THE ENTIRE SUCCESSIVE LEADERSHIP OF GHANA OVER THE YEARS.

NATIONALISM AND PATRIOTISM MUST START FROM THE LEADERS OF GHANA.

GHANA'S LEADERS ARE DO NOT HAVE THE TIME FOR PATRIOTISM AND NATIONALISM, AND THER'S ABUNDANT EVIDENCE OD THIS AMONG GHANA'S ENTIRE LEADERSHIP.

The best way out is to get a foreign coach who will boost the moral of the players. AA lacks charisma, he does not have the knowledge to motivate players. Get Milo back immediately, for time is not on our side.

The question I ask is: If player are equally motivated for a common purpose, why would some not want to be commited in achieving that GOAL? Emmanuel Clottey I think should have been given another chance.

The players must undergo Stamina building, Speed, Penalty Taking Skills, and there should be about (3) three strickers at all times to bring goals. Penalty Skills must be worked on at every training session. Football is a game , and in any game there must be a stratergy so the coach must note.

This boys are making a lot of money in their clubs. Playing for Ghana surpose to be for greatness and gratutide to the people of your country and the people who put you there. Playing for Ghana gave Prince Boateng a big pay cheque. Abede Pele a chance to play outside Ghana with a big pay cheque that goes with it. It is the people of this country that surport these players to become great. We wonder why this boys end up with all kinds of problems.Some end up broke why? There is no black magic that can stop a clean HEART.This is very disapointing to know my talened players being so selfish when Ghana have so many telented players but the people suported them to the great to wipe their Ass too.

Most of the players selected lacked physical fitness and were afraid of getting injured! They were more concerned about getting back to their teams without injuries and were more concerned about their starting places in their clubs! To crown it all , the coach used the AFCON to epperiment some ideas "looming" in his head! The coach was simply not confident of winning the AFCON 2013. You can see from the "call-up" for the quali against Sudan , that he still has no idea about his "core" team ! He is starting all over again to build a team - HE SIMPLY DOES NOT HAVE A TEAM!!! This is alarming indeed, because NOBODY IN GFA IS CAPABLE OF "PULLING" THE "HANDBREAK"!GHANA HAS THE TALENTS BUT LACK THE WILL AND KNOW-HOW TO FORM A FORMIDABLE TEAM OUT OF THESE NUMEROUS TALENTS! CRONYSM,VINDICTIVE BEHAVIOUR, PERSONAL INTERESTS AND "PETTY WARS" AND INCOMPETENCE MAKE THE WHOLE ISSUE WORSE

it is very obvious that nyantakyi and his team have failed ghana soccer. it is high time they resign honourably to enable fresh ideas and blood is pumped into the system. their npp politics at the gfa have killed the spirit of the association. nyantakyi is the longest president of the gfa and it quite clear that his usefulness has gone over board. they better advise themselves as early as possible to avoid the wrath of the supporters of the black stars.
