Wat a disgrace. Our most disgraceful wcup showing ever! I could have done better as coach, trust me. AA, boye, nyantakyi going forward have no business being involved in any soccer matters in gh. They are Uselessly, useless! I will always say it as I see it. Let those who are strong take heed from my advice.

Please stop disparaging the coach, he did a great job. I hope by God that he finds a great jog somewhere else since Ghanaians don't appreciate him. We Africans are our own worst enemies, we shoot ourselves in the foot time and time again, we're plagued by corruption, we belittle our own people, we don't appreciate the one who are ethical, who try to do good to their country, their people, in short we contributed to the mess we're in. Coach Appiah is a proud man, you did a good job my brother, I hope you'll go where your skills are appreciated in the meantime may all those who are castigating you without reason, with just envy and hate in their heart, may they go to hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let it be known to you all, who ever is blaming the coach, I will call you a foolish man. Now asked yourself this: If you fail your school exam, who do you blame? The Teacher or yourself? If you crash your car, who do you blame? The one who teach you how to drive or yourself? Why always the coach is to blame, listen people is time for us to think before we talk, not to talk before we think.At last the coach is on the bench, not on the feild playing with the players.it's alway easy to blame someone that is what you foolish people are doing.When a player is tired, blame the coach, when a player can not play well, blame the coach. Let us all think before we talk.

Sir, you can call me anything; a fool or whatever. I do not give a damn! It is only your opinion. From you argument and thought process, I wonder who should be calling somebody names. Is it your argument that we should blame our fiasco trip to the WC on the jersey we wore?

AA is not a good coach. Even you know it! He cannot even read a game or change formation to hold on to a lead. If all he has going for himself is being Ghanaian, we don't need him. He qualified us for the WC. Big damn deal! That is the only productive thing he did.

Look, we have been to the WC three times. However, until yesterday Ghana never knew that WC dreams could end at the group stage. Two expatriate coaches we had previously, each took us beyond the group stage. What has AA got to offer beyond being a Ghanaian? We got one (1) point out of a possible nine (9). Have you ever heard about a publicized 'mutiny' on any BS team before? If we had a better coach all these issues would have been resolved in Accra before they left Ghana. And obviously the whole world would not have learnt that we in Ghana are dumb enough to carry 'sacks full of money across the globe'.

I do promise you, if the goal is to keep AA as a coach because he is Ghanaian, we will be going nowhere fast!

NO SELF-RESPECTING GHANA BLACK STAR COACH SHOULD LOSE TO THE USA AND REMAIN THE COACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everything shows the Bs were having problems before their game with the USA.When they lost they realize the journey is going to be harder than they thought. That's when the real trouble really started.

We all the time talking about "FIRST AFRICAN TO DO THIS; FIRST AFRICAN TO DO THAT". It's all rubbish. That kind of mentality gets into our head and because of that we always aim for the lowest achievement. What did the team achieve by the "many" goals he scored?
What is extraordinary about a striker scoring 6 goals in 11 or so matches? Is it not his job as a striker to score goals? He scored the 6 goals in 3 world cup tournaments (2006, 2010 and 2014). What is the big deal about that that?

Yeas, True. But why could we not win a single match? SELFISHNESS. The Press started this before the GERMANY-Ghana match and it got into the player's head so much that Jordan was almost skinned alive for not passing to him. A. Gyan spoilt a lot of Ghana's chances. SELFISHNESS did not allow him to pass for others to score simple goals. He heads the ball anywhere when, if left for another player the ball could have been headed down. Shame unto all of us. It's over now for selfish, greedy players and management team members.

The main issue at stake is that Africans are primitive bunch of people. Appearing at the world and doing well would ultimately ensure lucrative contracts at the club level worth millions of dollars every year. people say that the GFA is corrupt and that may be an apt description. But one must also consider the fact that for more than a decade the GFA has never reneged on its promise of players' bonuses. Assuming the GFA wanted to renege this time, the players would have had a leverage in any future negotiations with the GFA about money. They would not honor matches until what is due them is paid.

On the eve of crucial encounter when the players were expected to be poised, what did we witness? Africans are primitive.

Good advice, Annoited, but I think Nigeria and Cameroon have had it more like a dozen times dating all the way back from the 1990s (World Cup and African Cup qualifiers and/or appearances, with definitely Senegal, Congo DR, Uganda, Malawi, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe joining lately), threatening non-appearances over promised but unpaid fees and bonuses.
The dark continent is also cursed.
Only FIFA can rescue us but they themselves are corrupt so they will stick up for the corrupt football associations and their governments.
