The entire world watched the debacle in Brazil as it unfolded. The Black Stars have been on the decline since that regrettable campaign. And, we now learn that the whole mess started during the World Cup tournament in Germany. So, pray tell, what did happen in Germany? Can any one shed light on that? I am sure all football-loving Ghanaians would like to know.

How can Ghana dream of winning AFCON or WC tournaments when we can't find competent goal keepers? Razak Braimah and Fatau Dauda are bogus and have no business being in the squad.

The chairman kwesi nyantakyi and sannie darra have became too political in 2016 and I believe this disaster will continue if they are in the helms of affairs. Nobody should forcefully kick them out because that is not democracy. When elections time comes again and they are voted back to power, I will not have any problem with that because that is democracy. But their public pronouncement in 2016 makes the positions untenable. On the other hand, if they win elections fairly and democratic, they should be allowed to stay on.

Tony, problem of Ghana football started from 1992 when you refused to recognise Abedi Pele as your Captain because he was a Northerner and undermined by instigating your colleague Akans against him. Tony if you have had a good administration like that of Nyantekyie led administration, you would have won the World Cup during your peak period, yet you couldn't even qualify for the World Cup all because you used to chose and pick matches. Please what is your contribution to Ghana football?

Everyone knows the problem. Everyone is blaming somebody. Everyone has the solution. Everyone is not part of the problem; funny Ghana. So me too, I have my word. The problem started when Tony Yeboah and Abedi Pele started fighting over arm band. So Tony, just shut up. What were you able to achieve with the Black Stars when you were on top of the world and also featured prominently for the stars. You all achieved individual successes but never for Ghana.

Tony, you failed to submit to the leadership of Abedi because of your super-ego and delusions grandeur and you successfully helped divide the camps of the players and you said the problem started from when? It was only reasonable that by way of a rebuttal or tit for tat (ie paying you back in your own coin) for not recognising him, that Abedi should take back his arm band for your insubordination; though that wasn't the best option on the desk at the time. Abedi really sacrificed for his Nation, what about you? You felt you were only second to your village chief.

Tony you are absolutely right. Nyantakyi said no one can get rid of him until he decides to leave. We all know that GFA is corrupt. Nyantakyi and his men for years have been stealing our money. Now our Sports Ministers and journalists are scared of them. They have their own journalists they pay to come out and write articles just to make them look innocent. Any journalist who dare to write about GFA or Nyantakyi's corrupt ways, often get sued. This plan is to silence the Journalists so the truth never comes out. They always blame a Minister or the Coach but never themselves. Like Nyantakyi said whenever he is around, Black Stars always wins. How stupid. These GFA guys makes more money than even our parliamentarians. No wonder why they don't want to vacate their positions. Nyantakyi and his men strongly believes that they are untouchable as Tony Yeboah said. Is time to dismantle GFA and bring in new faces and some honest people.

People have blamed the coach, GFA and even lack of fan support for why BS have failed to win AFCON or any other tournament since 1982. But in my opinion, the main reason is lack of playing time at club level for most of our players, who come to tournaments not totally fit or sharp. Results in loss of mental concentration and mistakes which lead to us conceeding unnecessary goals or not being clinical with our goal-scoring opportunities.

Our player selection criteria MUST include a minimum % playing time at club level to force players to stop going to clubs for money and fame just to warm the bench, e.g., Christian Atsu, Baba Rhaman, Andre, Jordan, Wakaso, etc.

Ghana has a lot of naturally talented players. We just have to select the right group of ACTIVE, FIT & COMPLEMENTARY players to play a bunch of competitive friendly matches before tournaments to have optimum sharpness and team cohesion. Egypt, Zambia and Cameroun won AFCON with a COHESIVE team of FIT (played full 90-120mins of football) players of average talent!!! Ghana needs a "fitness-crazy" coach like Herve Renard with independent player selection criteria including % playing time at club level!!!

Why do you think we field such benchwarmers? Because they are willing to pay monies to Nyantakyie and his cabal to be selected so now you know

Because you don't play for black stars again neither re you a coach who want favors from GFA so why don't you say exactly what the problems were in your days that you couldn't talk about?if we continue being cowards there's no way we can achieve anything.Tony Yeboah has played with great teams and know how things re done under the hands of his handlers in the past,so he should be bold to say it as it's,if he believes there re mafia within the FA it's only players past and present who can bite the bullet and bring the facts out,speculation ll not help us as he's doing now.He was a great player and we love him,may Allah protect him and his family but Tony why don't you ve male children to play for Ghana?

Everyone should be on the line to wait till the next ELECTION.YES WAIT.Mr Minister please do not acommodate the coup MAKERS.THEY ARE IN their NUMBERS.WATCH OUT.BE FAIRM.THAT'S ALL.
