Why must Ghana be always mentioned in everything concerning soccer in Africa? Ghanians should get it into their head that the world of soccer does not always revolve around you Ghanaians anyway. Wake up and smell the coffee.

Nigeria Golden Eaglet just won U17 World Cup last Friday, but wasn't mention in ghanaweb out of jealousy. Are you people JEALOUS because Nigeria won both 2013 AFCOM and U17 World Cup? Wicked people. Keep on hating until we bring the World Cup home IJN. Amen.

We shall meet in the World cup. And how far has Nigeria gone in the World cup? Ghana got to the Quarter final with Uruguay. N but for Suarez we would have reached the Semis and possibly the final

Most of the Ghanaian players aren't playing regular time matches in Europe and those who are , are playing in pretty unpopular leagues and that is also a factor.

As for our star players, most of them are not featuring regularly for their various teams and those who are either playing regularly are doing in so in teams that are , again performing below their
expected standards. I am sure K P Boateng would have been shortlisted if he had continued to do well in AC Milan rather than that impromptu move to FC Schalke in Germany. Michael Essien isn't getting regular play any longer and we all know Asamoah Gyan isnt playing in any better league than our boys in Ghana are, except that, the differene is the atronomical fees he earns in each appearance. Hey! who will begrudge that, the man was out to make money and he is.... Where we come from, Money is the King, not talent building nor reliable exposure. I would have done the same.

Meledzi, are you saying that Sulley Muntari and Kwadwo Asamoah are playing in mediocre leagues? what about Dede Ayew. Hmmm, na wa for this analysis of yours. Also, in spite of everything, I think baby jet is having his game both in Saudi and Africa. You can say the Saudi league is inferior and I won't begrudge you but consider Baby Jet's performance in Africa and tell me if he is not on top of his game.

Some Ghanaians are so myopic and daft. Someone asked if Mikel is better tham kwadwo asamoah. I laugh! What has asamoah won? Mikel has been with Chelsea, won Champions League with Chelse and also won Europa cup as well. He equally won the nations cup with Nigeria. So pity those of you who keep abusing successful people to cover your failures. It is still a fact that Abedi Pele's fans in Nigeria is in millions because he was a successful legend. Nigerians love him. Keep calling us names to cover your failures and unfounded pride. It is still a fact that the blackstars have won nothing in the least 31 years and are not likely to win anything as long as you continue to refuse the Greatness in other nations. You said Nigerians are criminals. I wonder if GhANIANS are not. we brought 'these criminals' wealths' to your country and employ you. Are you not being foolish? Show e a Ghanian nobel winner and I will show you our own wole Soyinka. even in sports that you keep bragging, you have never won an Olympic gold medal before. Continue to abuse to cover your failures. Your currency was 1:1 before but it now almost 1 dollar to 3 cedis. Unemployment is so high and crime rate is mounting. Continue to abuse to cover your failures. Our banks are in Ghana. Our telecomm companies and dangote cement are there providing employment. Dangote, the Nigerian is the richest black-man on the planet and is far younger than most of you yet you keep abusing. You said you don't want anything to do with Nigerians. Who told you Nigerians want to associate with you. Wait until CAF releases its list of nominees for African footballer of the year and you would realize that there wont be a single Ghanaian on the list. As ususal you would abuse Ayatou and CAF, the same way you abuse your President and other elders. I pity you. Even your so called Ghanaweb is so local . Al ahaly won champions league but there was a black-out. Nigeria's under 17 won the world cup there is a blackout. Little wonder Ghanaian football is not progressing because of the PHD attitude (pull her down, if it is not Ghana). What a local web!I keep wondering if some Ghanaians are cultured at ll. All we read of on this web is one insult after another, even on the elderly, including Presidents and senior citizens. Continue to abuse. We will soon see you in Lagos....

Nigeria again? When was the last time they beat us in a competitive match? We've beaten them about 4x in the past 5 years, if I remember. How far has Nigeria gone in all the World Cups they appeared in? Ghana, but for Suarez, would have reached the semis and possibly the final in 2010. he difference is so clear!!! We've more confidence than Nigeria, OMONU, IGBO loud mouth, eater of human flesh!
