How many shots on goal did you get? How many fouls around the 18? Any freekicks? Any penalties during regulation? These are all individual things you could have done in the 120 minutes to get the job done. The reason gh we the to penalty shootout vr ivory Coast in 92 is becos abedi wasn't playing. Bad he played, the outcome would have been decided before regulation, trust me

If there is no loser there would not be any winner too.

Andrew Ayew should just be a man,he should grow up,the cry was just childish,men don't cry over defeat,don't be too emotional.

Need Ghanaian Coach
Did konadu not qualify to chan final? If grant was a great a coach as you profess him to be. Why is he always losing finals? At least AA qualified gh to wcup and made it.to afcon semi final in his first attempt. Now, I'm not a fan of aa' style of.coaching. Compared to.Grant. I'm.sure you can tell the difference. Is grant a better coach than AA? Yes, because grant has the experience in certain situations, high profile club. Give AA the same opportunity and I will pick aa to coach ghana. Becos be can better relate to the players, has more.In common with them etc. These are all psycho social reasons for choosing a Ghanaian for the job.blame grant for the loss. He has a track record for losing. It's a fact! Has he learnt anything from those experiences you ask? Obviously not! Not only did grant fail to make the necessary changes to beat Ivory Coast before regulation. He also failed to adequately prepare the boys for penalties, in the right order. Didn't bring on his best penalty goalie. 3 Major blunders in a final will cost.You. Renard on the hand paid attention to detail like a surgeon, a film editor in everything. Go and watch the game again. Ivorians were composed and played not to get scored upon. They played for penalties..we didn't prepare for penalties and we didn't do enuff to put the game away before regulation. We didn't come with a game.plan or.strategy to win. Body language was cheesy and suspect to say the least. We just came to OUTPLAY ivory Coast. Typical Lower mentality from a Loser Coach,.Grant. He thinks he is Jewish so he was born lucky? Muahahahaaaaaaaaa

Potential teachers in training college are taught to reprimand or warn a student.The first time they make a mistake. Now,.coaching is just like teaching. If a coach sees a problem festering and chooses to.do nothing about it. Like grant saw with kwasi appiah.what does that say about the coach/teacher? How effective are they? Are they following due process? If not, why aren't they? Purposely find ways to lose a close.game. This creating a reason to remain employed, perhaps?

Gyan didn't cry openly because he abandoned the team at the last minute but I know he is hurting inside like all of us, the cup was practically been handed to us on a silver Platter and we screwed it up.

You Should blame yourself Dede. What were you and Agyeman Badu waiting for? To make the last perhaps winning kick and bask in some glory? If not then why did you the experienced penalty takers stand back for the inexperienced guys to waste their kicks? We made the same mistake in 1992! when we allowed a very young inexperienced Isaac Asare to waste his kick, while the experienced guys looked on. I hope we have learnt our lessons. A line up like Wakasu, Jordan, Dede, Agyeman Badu, and any of J.Boye, or J. Mensah would have given us the trophy.

You wanted to go for the glory and it failed you that is the reason why you cried. Whenever there is a penalty in a game you are the one who kicks it. why choose to play the fifth. you could have ended the kicks if you had played the third,or even the fourth. You wanted the players to run after you after your kick. shame on you

we felt your pain and passion Andre, if you ask me you are a better captain than baby jet! you motivated the guys constantly and was urging them on to be strong. I see you taking the country to better places as CAP than with been in the last couple of years. I don't care what anybody says or all the praises baby jet gets, he quit in the finals when he was needed most, what captain does that in the final minute of the game? he should've told the coach no and stayed on (disappointed big time).

Gyan,s late mother has told the son NEVER to kick any penalty for Ghana B/S and the son fulfils his vows to her late mother.

So why blaming Gyan now?

Every coin has two different sides. Take heed.

So what? I have no doubt in my mind that a lot of fools like you want Gyan's early exit because he is Akan, or particularly an Ashanti. I don't know where this trend of hatred for Akans or Ashantis come from but it seems to be the order of the day and has spread it's tentacles across the country. It's so pathetic that this has reached the Black Stars. Please do not pollute the Black Stars with tribalism because it's the only thing that binds us together as Ghanaians. I would tear up my Ghana passport if there were no Black Stars because Ghana is a fucking useless country. I won't want to live in a country with fools like you.

Asamoah Gyan wasn't the captain when he made that promised to his mom and she wasn't dead either that is why I was upset about his substitution at a time his leadership was needed the most! a cowards way to go out. now go fuck yourself and your passport with your tribalism bullshit. news flash I don't live in Ghana and you are a fool to say Ghana is foolish without black stars and which means you and your whole family are a bunch of fools for the last 33 years because that is how long its been since the black stars won anything. yen hia wo wo oman Ghana enti titi wo passport no mu kwasia pa.

We need to do some soul searching and prepare the Stars for the future.Gyan has done his best and must handle the mantle over to Dede because we need to start afresh with great determination and purpose.By the way,I will also blame Ayew for not helping the coach to select and place the penalty shooters in good order because he was the captain at that time Gyan left the field.I think that's the more reason why he cried a lot after the match.He regreted for making wrong judgement at a very crucial moment.We still love you Andre,even though you failed to make it to the top.Thank you.
