    Cote d'Ivoire have always had individual world class players, but never perform as a team. Ghana always outperforms them, kai! even Nigeria outperforms them!

    Have the "more" Ghanaian players built the complex he built? If every wealthy Ghanaian player built a facility like his, we would be in great shape. Let us move away from critiquing people because they are not "Ghanaian eno ...

    Great take! This nonsense of "more Ghanaian" versus "non Ghanaian" must stop. That is why we treat some players better than others though the ones we prefer are not as good? Case in point the Quincy, Schlupp, Kwarasey ryc
