In national teams there are always a generational dip. It's just a matter of staying relevant while reloading. Look at Spain, they're low right now but very soon will be back.

Ben,don't compare apples and oranges. If we continue with what we're doing or not doing we will soon be sorry. We're seeing the red flag but we refuse to acknowledge it. It's called lunacy if you continue to do the same old things but expect better results each time. We need the game changer now.

Food for thought from one of Africa's Stars , wh is pained that Ghana has won to trophy in the last +30 years.What a genuine concern! When is Ghana going to have someone like him or any other ex Black star takeover as coach of the black stars? I think Ghana has a fairly good Team but over-reliance on foreign coaches could spell a doom.

Secondly, the current national coach must also go. Ghana is unnecessarily spending over $1 million dollars in salary, bonuses, and travel expenses for a coach who is obviously not interested soccer development in Ghana.

Thats why we need people like abedi, tony yeboah, tony baffoe and marceil dessaily, and others to lead the association..and not somebody who never kicked even a tennis in school, even though not all former players become good administrators...look at who is head of european football...platini...and look at who is head of african football...hayatou...see the difference?...nyantakyi and his cohorts are using all means to deny professionals in the administration of ghana football...he changed the association rules for only team owners to be in the executive committee...he owns a team in the premier division-wa stars-which even is a conflict of interest and must disqualify him from the top post...he threatens the executive members, who are all team owners, with benefits and overseas trips, which come with allowances and so they will always vote for him...they are afraid of professional administrators, who will sack all the executive members, some of who dont know anything about football administration...even if tony baffoe, a former pro player in Germany and former black stars player,who now works with CAF and FIFA, contest for the presidency of GFA, the executive members, who vote, wont vote for him because they will lose their "benefits" if Baffoe wins...this is the problem.

Everybody in Ghana is what you rightly said, I mean from babies to grandpas, all institutions from the church to schools and universities ..... no one can be trusted. We all greedy and corrupt. We complain as if we will different but the value is the same the Ghanaian. Can't trust anyone and it is so because the rule of law is not respected so no one is afraid. People have too much power than the established instructions . And untill that change ,progress will remain a facade mirage

Gone were those days that we had footballer wh really loved the game and could expire the next generation; Malik, Yaw sam, Osei Kofi, Opoku Nti, Abikari, Shamo Quaye, Armah Senegal, George Alhassan, Emmanuel Quarshie, John Baker, Essel Mensah, Frimpong Mansong, Dan Nyarnu!

Now we just have money grabbing players who does care a suasage about Ghana football. Its am inspiration to see that Pele is promoting the next generation of football in Ghana by guiding his sons to play in a better league. Long live my friend Pele!

Who are the leaders and the authorities are we talking about, the kind of Ghana you wanna see tomorrow must start from you and me as individual, don't give power and and authority to someone simply because he's from your tribe or home town but rather someone who is competent and patriotic,,,this happens only in Ghana and in black race society until tribalism stop stop about development, vote for competitent and patriotism and not tribe.
Love you all

The major reason why Ghana soccer is in deplorable state right now is that there is so much divisions in our league system. For example colts, third, second, first and the premier. Due to the size of Ghana I think we have to use the first division as our highest level like we did in the past. But since we like to copy from Europe the installation of the premier division into our system is not helping because a lot of talent has been scarce due to this monopoly.

Ghana black stars have grown from strength to strength but the local league is going down. the question is what is gfa n pls doing about it. guys remember the teams are owned by boss whiles been governed by gfa booses wants profits while gfa wants proper rules to be in place to ensure good development of the beautiful game. lets help create a balance to see the development of the game but not to criticized it so call legend abadi help gfa to self the problem because we all know all you need is power get over your self. i though you will learn something from what happened from south africa in 2010 about your unfair comment on SABC about steven appaih please mr money power drunk get over your self and if you have something positive to offer please bring it on board we will learn a lot and stop sabotaging

I reckon abedi is talking about the state of the ghana league and how unsustainable long term it is to continue running teams by selling all the young promising talents that emerge to teams from alaska to new zealand. South african league is even signing players from australia to new zealand, serbia and brazil.Their league thus getting international exposure and building links.You will think kotoko and hearts would own or part own with a cosortium including fa,local area administration their own stadium, have academies, women football club, football themed school etc but no

Where are all the neo rich who pride themselves with being on mtv cribs etc? Football is an industry, run it properly, encourage more private investment into it;not one person know it all run it all but encourage people to pull together in partherships and consortiums with tax incentive from govt if need be with a plan or program to raise standard of league for next 10 years published.Abedi is right to a great extent but raising the standard of the local league will not be achieved by fa alone but will depend on many other agencies, the economy and private investors etc. But yes we must begin to recognise and act to halt the tragic exporting of young talent for pittance and the low levels that the league is descending to. How i dont know all the answers
