Tell the truth to the youth to gain your respect. The GFA & Gov't of Ghana failed the boys too much often & enough was enough. The center can not hold. Look at that shameful sport minister with his troops in Brazil & all the sagas milking the black stars. And u predict Ghana to win the world CUP. Forget it.

I wish to write good English as James has written.Certain article writers write trash,one example is Raymond Yeboah from Sunyani.in fact after reading the above article,I am saddened that Africa where I come from has not achieve anything in the world cup.Where my worries lies a lot is the fact that African player with most world cup is only six in 3 appearances while a Columbia's player scores the same six goals in a single appearance meaning the so called Didier Drogba,Samuel Eto,o ,Demba ba,song,Mikel obi etc are just names without a feat at the world stage.Oh Africa when do we rise up.no unique athletes,basketball players,volley ball players,international musicians etc.I was soo sad to read one of Ghana"s finest athletes switched to the Netherlands due to mismanagement

Scoring six goals in 3 games depends on the group you find your team in .GHANA has always been in a Group of Death, and one may notice that one of the teams in the group goes to the finals.

I think that in the long run what happened is good. People are no longer going to look for the big names. We have to move on and look for dedication. Look at Ivory Coast...All the names and nothing to show for it. Let us face the facts. I like Essien but I felt that he was too old and we all know that he should not have been there. In the end, it would have been a good idea to replace him with a left back or central defender. This is what happens when we count on names.

"But the way and manner in which all of a sudden a collection of 23 football players could hold a west African nation to ransom forcing President, John Mahama to fly over $4m across the Atlantic Ocean to pay players unpaid appearance fees rather gained currency. " Mr James K Attaglo Wilson, you are so wrong and an enemy of progress and positive change. Fortunately for the good people Ghana we have a new breed of people who would not do business as usual. You never mentioned the root cause of the problem. I will continue to hammer here again that, you find a solution to a problem at where it starts and not where it ends. None of the 23 players went there because of financial gain. They were selected on merit. The issue of money came about as a result of gross mismanagement and negligence on the part of GFA and the sports administrators and believe this should be the focus and not a player kissing his hard earn money. This is not tax payers money and the focus should be on those who went there not on merit but to steal from the Ghanaian people. I said to steal because the management duties were not performed.

Don't know why this narrow minded writer the players as unpatriotic. How dare you? If you want the bring the issue patriotism your focus should be on the Ghanaian politicians whom the Ghanaian people has mandated to serve. The players did not creat, loot and share. They worked hard for what they earned. If you believed that all their actions were unpatriotic figure out where they would have learned that from, you do the Maths. Patriotism should start from the Ghanaian politician and not someone wearing Red, Gold and Green with a dead star which has been killed be the Ghanaian politician. Long Live The Ghana Black Stars...Death to the management.

Did yu read that some tried bribing AA just get selected. If he did not select any based on the monetary gains it does not mean that all 23 just wanted to play.

Most of the players who went to Brazil should be scrutinized. Some of them should not be allowed to play for the Black Stars again. The World Cup is about patriotism and passion. Players need to be poised as they go on the field to deliver. How can Ghana players be poised when they refused to train but fought over money? The behavior of the players was absurd. It is true that the GFA is not trustworthy. But in the last decade the GFA has never reneged on its promise to pay players bonus.

.Because they did not trust Nyantakyi and Elvis Afriyea with the locker rooms whilst they are on the pitch playing!

That was why some of the players looked clumsy on the field!

How could a president of a nation be held to ransom by a group of footballers? It was an opportunity for the president to show these dead heads who is in charge. I was really disappointed that, with all what is going on in our dear nation, the president decided to fly cash to the Amazon (taxed?). What a decision!!! If a whole president can commit a school boy error on a very simple issue I wonder the sort of decisions he comes up with his cabinet on complex issues. What is wrong with having a conference call with the players to sort out issues??
I am very disappointed in the players but the bigger disappointment is the president.

When Essien tore his MCL & ACL in Libya in 2010, he never fully regained his form. How much more do you think he owes Ghana. Have any of you sacrificed major injuries for the country?

You see how typical the writer is no less than uneducated half man to describe a fellow Ghanaian as ANTS compelled to an Elephant. Who are you to call someone an ant when you have the entire Ghana football Association and its management in shamble. You took more of the football Association officials to Brazil and stuffed them with every thing they need for doing nothing rather than causing chaos and throwing the entire squad into disrepute when they knew exactly what to do to make the players happy instead creating division among the players and there was less concentration to the main event to which Ghana lost to the United States. What do you know about football rather than corruption, John Boye is my family man and i was so proud to see him play for the Black Stars and the truth is had it been the Black Stars had the best management and peace of mind trust me no Country would have stood their onslaught, the game against Germany was a typical example to show you the Black Stars werent that useless as u think. Ghana was leading the German by 2 goals to one and was on their way to score another goal to make it three only for that blunder by Jordan Ayew which he later apologized to the rest of the team. Why talking nasty about john Boye and what do you know about football. The Boye,s family are well known in Ghana football and almost everyone of them has played a fantastic football in Ghana for time ever since. Edward Boye, Boye otinkorang, Moshe dayan if you recalled and am Michael Boye, we pride ourselves in Ghana football. I played with Hesse odamtten, the late ofei Ansah since colts days, C nortey Kwartey Laryea Ofli, Kankam of of the then Akotex, Selas Tetteh then Golden pods Koforidua, Suley muhammad also Golden pods, Yaw Mark Akotex, oheneba siaw and even when abedi pele was a trainee at Tamale real united, Francis kumi at Susubribi, Nkansa, ofosu hene, and Emmanuel owusu, Ben kayode, Chubby Checker Auroras, Lomo Mithell Akotex and the Legendary Opele Aboagye of Okwahu united. We have so much respect for each other and never call each others name like you did by describing a Black Star player as Ant. Shame on you this a typical Ghanaian who knows nothing more than discrimination and anti semitic. If you know how to criticise then criticise your Corrupt football Association who created a mayhem and throwing the whole squad into chaos. Own goal is own goal and this is not the first and the last, in my playing career i have witnessed several own goals by players which happened by accident due to a scenario in the course of the game. Did you watched brazil and Croatia the first croatia goal was an own goal caused by the Brazilian Left full back and so be it they continued to play and won. This your old fashioned mentality of peoples origin is long gone and dead no one knows where they come from going back from 5th generation so its about time to address issues that ll constructively help in rebuilding the national team and not those destructive ones because that of yours are just bigotry of low expectation.Know yourself before someone knows you.
