OPENING MATCHES ARE ALWAYS DIFFICULT AND CONFIDENCE COMES AS YOU PROGRESS. THE MATCH LOOKED WELL-BALANCED, FROM THE REPORT, WITH GHANA A BIT MORE ORGANIZED AND PURPOSEFUL. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO GRAB THE POINTS AT STAKE IN OPENING MATCH, BUT LESSONS LEARN MUST BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION BECAUSE THE NEXT MATCH WILL BE A DECIDING ONE. WELL DONE GHANA AND GO GO GO GO AND WIN! WELL DONE MAXWELL KONADU, AND MORE GREASE TO YOUR ELBOWS!

YAHAYA MO PLAYS AS AN ATTACKING MIDFIELDER N NOT A STRIKER. HIS TIMING N POSITIONING was off.

Yahaya was good but got no help. It looks like he was playing a lone striker.

We've got to improve our game and take our chances. We were not impressive and I'm affraid we might not make it against Ethiopia and Libya. Their game was better. Konadu, do something

Alpha, I would advise you not to comment on this forum. You really need to go back to classroom.

1. THE CAPT OPOKU IS USELESS N MUST BE BENCHED. GIVE THE BAND TO DEFENDER ADUSEI
2. THE PLAYERS MUST BE TOLD TO PLAY 2/3 TOUCH BALL. BREAK, CTRL, PASS ONLY..3 TOUCH MAX! u need disciplineto reach the finals.
3. THE TEAM DIDNT HOLD/POSSESS THE BALL at all and dats why gh only won by 1 goal.
4.wen attacking, the team must show conviction and determination by moving the ball thru the left wing, midfield or right wing. dont criss cross from left, to right to middle etc. pick your points n show ur mastery. this way, u can determine ur opponents weakness and constantly punish your opponent.
5. our 6 and 8 were totally missing. it seems like most of the players dont understand their roles. with theexception of anobaah, adusei, tijani, nuru, the right back, goalie...most of the players wearing playing according to their roles.
6. DEFENCE WINS TOURNAMNTS. THIS IS A FACT! EVERY TEAM THAT EVER WON A TOURNAMNT TROPHY HAS conceeded the least amount of goals. if you think im lying, do ur research..from afcon, to copa, to euro, to wcup. the formula applies.

Perfect observation this time. I was also wondering why the Black Star players were individually holding on to the ball for so long.

Who captained the team for them to qualify for the finals? And the criteria used to appointment a new captain just before the tournament? Was the coach creating space for Opoku to play?

I would not panic. They did what they had to do against a team they were better than. That is all you need to do. Looking at Libya and Ethiopia I am confident that they can get out of the group. They will gain confidence as they go along. Libya is good but not great and Ethiopia very shaky on the back line. I think the first test will be in the quarterfinals if they have to play DR Congo or Gabon. The group is average. They will need to put in a good effort to get out of the group but I feel they can do it. After that, we will need Yaya to step up and prove he is worthy of a call up to the real Black Stars.
