Jay the tournament was over. We can't compare third place to a funeral of any kind. Your argument is flawed. Give these guys a break. They have lives too and friends they played with at club level.

It is about sportsmanship at that point. Dede, Jordan and Kabore played together in France before so they were talking. Nothing wrong with that.

I don't care about bronze because the Black Stars have earned us silver medals but we were not happy.What do you want them to do,cry or what?
On a more serious note,I expect Stephen Appiah to be worried about the Black Stars incapacity to defend freekicks efficiently.The Stars are also unable to score on freekicks oppotunities.These are some of the technical problems Killing the Black Stars including penalty shootout.
I don't have any problem with the Stars sharing pleasantries with their opponents after the match. Ofcourse,we are not expecting bronze medals from Black Stars,not even a silver medals.All what we want now is the the Gold Medals and the trophy.A second place or a third place doesn't matter any more.Don't worry be happy.

Akwasi Nyantakyi and his mafie in the GFA have to be changed other than that the Ghanaian Football will not never succeed in win any trophy. There is too much corruption going on in there.That's why why they cann't deal with players like Surely Montari, Kevin Prince Boateng, Adam Kwaresey etc., because they will tell them their mind and will not pay any money to them.Has Ghanaians ever ask Akwasi Nyantakyi what he does with the moneys he recieves from FIFA for Ghana Football Association every year? Has he ever accounted for the hudge sums he has been recieving? I think is time for all Ghanaians to go on protest against him and his cohorts.How can a goal keeper like Adam Kwarasey sitting on the benchsomeone playing in the first league and has won many title with his teams will not be fix but a bench warmer like Razak Ibrahim in a second division team play and he sits on the bench this can happen only in Ghana. The whole World are laughing at us because they cann't understand what is going on in our GFA. Country Man Zongo have been saying it all the time in his programms but it seems we are not taking him for serious.My appeal is let all Ghanaians stand up and protest against a change in the GFA management if we want our football to take it's course.Ghana needs a change in GFA. We have some local coaheswho are much better than the white it's only the GFA who are not giving the chance, because they don't want to pay our coahes huge amounts like the whites. They are discriminating our own people. It's time to dissolve this management.

Rubbish, it is a game of unity. You should condemn those who inject politics into games, a player promising his preferred candidate they will win for him. Nonsense to the highest power.

I solidly side with you guys appiah and laryea. I personally smell something fishy and the coach should be blame for all this poor attitude shown by the players. They forget people little salaries are cut just to keep them entertaining us and also keep them surfing on. To me i think is time all the big names are scrub out and lets concentrate on the locals and those players who are willing to die for the nation. Am very disappointed in blackstars because they made me have sleepless night after those two defeats yet they feel unconcern.

As DD pointed out we have never won anything even when these guys were playing yet they criticize these youngsters as if it is automatic Ghana wins the AFCON. The exchange of pleasantries exchanged by some players on both sides is the best. The Ayew brothers have known that Burkinabe player when they were growing up in Marseille. Surely, they couldn't just turn and walk away from him without a few words being shared warmly. We should not fill our hearts with too much hatred just because we are under-achieving. We will smile one day after the tournament.

Come on Stephen Appiah and Laryea give the players a break. Doyou 2 think the players will not have loved to be in the finals? The problem of losing does not fade away by them showing remorse. The crux of the problem is being overlooked. Ghana needs a better system of inviting real conscientious players to the National team . Dede est trop vieux; il n'arrive plus a jouer comme avant et son petit frere Jordan n'aime pas passer le ballon. we need selfless forward players to score more goals.

Please leave the boys alone, if you have a president who started his office by teft that is what happens. Nana plagia plagia Akoffu Adu is the cause not the players. Even bronze they could not get, the whole black stars of Ghana and African Cup of nations not world Cup. Nana has a curse on his life and he brought it on Ghana by starting his government by teft, he stole US ex presidents speeches. Even prophet Kubi said nana has more than ten curses. God help Ghana.

There are more pressing issues like personal development,ability to take penalties, score from and defend dead ball situations.. These are what I expect the El Capitano to be sharing ideas on and not to add to the criticisms against the team.

I was very happy to see the players from both sides happy with each other in the end. That's what's up. It's not war. We're brothers. Burkina Faso nearly became part of Ghana during the Nkrumah era, and later under Rawlings and Sankara. We're one people. Abedi Pele has family in both Ghana and Burkina. It's just a border created by the Europeans to divide us and make us weak. But unity is strength, and that's what the players displayed

5A 5000 YEARS OLD SECRET JINNI FORMULA THAT UNLOCKS THE MYSTERIES OF WEALTH AND SUCCES “THE HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING” A SECRET FORMULA unwritten until now, Remember the KINGS and their fabulous wealth? Even today the tomb of the KINGS yields spectacular quantities of GOLD, SILVER, and DIAMONDS AND OTHER PRECIOUS STONES. How did they ever amass these incredible riches? The ANSWER is given in this strongly HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. The wearer of this RING gets AUTOMATICALLY anything wants he in his life, for e.g. MONEY, FAME, SUCCESS, HAPPINESS, LOVE, POWER, LUCK and so on, they are all yours 17 you are wearing the HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. If you cannot see the light from where you stand perhaps you has been standing behind a pillar all this time. The appropriate time has now come for you to knock off aside the pillar which has been obstructing your success all these days and if you cannot knock off this pillar at least move out from behind it and see what all awaits you in this universe. Through the Gracious help of great GURU (SAGE) this hidden RING is brought out with a bold assert that no man has upon this world to pass away unannounced. Nobody is to bear a perpetual burden of privation and to court death as the ultimate resort beyond also suffering. This word of happiness is equally desired to be shared by all, but here are many who ping for it and in the long run fall a victim to relentless time not even able to make both the ends meet the other flourish happily in the lap of luxury and pleasure and roll on the bed of wealth. On the hold this GREAT RING after the performance of necessary ceremonies does not fall a prey to any serious malady, his life may be extended to one hundred years, fire, water and air cannot tarnish or destroy this person. He will never in any danger of calamity. Spirits, Demons, Evil of bad Luck, Evil spirits, Black magic will submit to him and never dare do any always pass their time in safety. The nine planets always smile upon them and even KINGs bear submission. This mysterious Ring is the best filler of all desire fear, Grief’s miseries etc. cannot appreciate to the door of the wearer: A person accounted with the RING may turn the council to see his opposes turn dump and loose the power of speech. It is the desire of the great GURU (SAGE) rather my behest that every person of means should hold this great RING which is permanent in stopping premature death. It is a river of vast wealth and reputation apenerial sources of fame and prosperity and the great amulet and charm of the world. Hold this Ring and make your life Glorious and great. Highly Efficacious. Life long and Durable. The cost of this power is too great but because on the special request of the world, I am charging all the devotees only a little amount of GH¢300.84.0547122212

I think former player like Stephen Appiah, John Mensah, Sammy Kuffour to mention but few must look at themselves in the mirror for the lack of success in Ghana national team. Their Co-equals like Ryan Gigs, man city Coach and other hang their boot but are still making significant impact on the game by coaching. These stars of Ghana were exposed to some of the best coaches in the world and to the highest level of the game yet they do not want to acquire the necessary licenses to be able to coach at the national level. We are always going outside to hire coaches when we have such great former players. They are content with comenting on the performance of the team than to have their imprint on the national teams by coaching. Ghana will struggle to have qualified local coaches until we figure a way to get our former Ghanian European players to start coming coaches in Europe after their careers are over then the players will respect them to coach and Ghana could be successful in football. Wake up and smell the coffee and stop blaming others

Appiah and Kingston have forgotten the aim of AFCON - promoting African unity and brotherhood through sports!!!

Sportsmanship is important. The Burkinabes are not the enemies of either the Black Stars or the Ghanaian people. They are our brothers, damn it! Many of these players on both sides play or have played for the same International football teams. There are all kinds of bonds between these guys. African football fans celebrate the achievements of all African footballers. There is nobility in conceding defeat in a civil and friendly manner. Shame on the "bush" attitudes of Appiah and Kingston!
