  This is simple. It is easy to invite nearby nations for friendlies. With the internet you can do video analysis at home. It is not that expensive.

  Our leaders and managers cannot think outside the box. The boys played very well after watching the match again. I only have two problems; the formation and the taking of set pieces. I am not a fan of 4-2-3-1 formation played by all the national teams. The best formations so far as I am concerned are 4-4-2 and 4-1-3-2. I like to see more goals so I like two strikers. Furthermore Eric Ayiah had an injured hand so cannot perform effectively. The other one is the set pieces. None of our football teams (male or female) can take set pieces. Why? Apart from Mubarak Wakasso, no player can take good set pieces. This is not good enough. The Starlet Mensah wasted all the set pieces.

  The coach's tactics are always stuck in one gear. He can't make adjustments when his tactics are not working.

  Without funds, Ghana was able to reach the finals yet when the better team won, Ghana suddenly realized they needed funds to have done things differently forgetting that, without funds they were able to beat other teams 5-0. Give credit when it is due. Mali was a better team than Ghana, period. And stop the infantile excuse of lack of funding

THEY WILL USE THE TEAM N TOURNAMNTS TO DO WHOLESALE FOSU..TON NA TON NKOAA....EVERYDAY CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR BCOS CLINCHING THE TROPHY WILL ALLOW NYANTAKYI TO TAKE THE GLORY.

  Always have some excuses to offer. When the team was beating others by five or more goals, there was no complaint. Now they are beaten we have reasons. The Malians were simply better than us.

Then you exploit the weaknesses of your opponent to cling a win. Our coaches need a lot of exposure to learn this. Milo was watching videos of opponent teams. Our coaches need to do that.

  What has funds got to do with it?
  
  What is the GFA doing with the millions of dollars that FIFA gives to the GFA?
  
  The GFA does not want anything and or "interference" in the management of their affairs by the government and the Ministry of Sports.
  
  Why then should the GFA think and or believe that the government through the Ministry should always fund them.
  
  He who pays the Piper call the tune - so the wise saying goes.
  
  The English FA funds the English team without relying on the government for help. The help coming from the government, is for the general administration of sports of which footbal at the grassroots take priority.

  This Afriyie dude is one funny guy. After telling us that in 2 weeks the coach and manager will assess the team's performance and determine what really caused the team to lose to Mali, he immediately jumps the gun, announcing that lack of funds caused our defeat. If he knows that for a fact, what's the point in having the coach and team manager submit their assessment report? And is he aware that the Black Stars still found a way to win the Cup of Nations in Libya even though they faced much bigger financial constraints? Please Mr. Afriyie, don't take away the Starlets' incentive to strive to do better at the World Cup, by giving them this losers' excuse that we can't achieve the ultimate because we are broke.
