    what did you expect? the timing of appointing a new coach was wrong. we have a tough task ahead but that is the beauty of football. we should not throw in the towel. confident we can progress

    THE MUSLIM PLAYERS INTENTIONALLY PLAYED BAD FOOTBALL TO DISCREDIT THE JEW COACH.JUST CONSIDER THE FOOTBALL MUHHAMED RABIU AND THEIR MUSLIM GUYS PLAYED YESTERDAY.

    THE CURRENT BLACK STAS WERE A SHADOW OF THE BLACK STARS OF YESTERYEAR.
    THEY WERE LIKE DWARFS AND LOOKED WEAK COMPARED WITH WITH THE SENEGALESE. THE COACH SHOULD MAKE PHYSIQUE A CRITERION IN SELECTION

    Mr Grant you need to be active. You refuse to read the game to make substitutions when the boys were tired. Why do keep Jordan and Amartey in the game when they were rendered useless. Even your defence needs rebuilt.

  • Malick 9 years ago

    I told you so! Senegal is too strong.
    This is just the hors d'oeuvre. More to come with Mame Birame Diouf and Sadio Mané

  • Jt 9 years ago

    well said Busumbru,how could the team camp in cold country for preparation when the tournament is being held in a hot country,the players were very tired,you could see the climate has effect on them,too bad and dissappointing

  • afrikaba1 9 years ago

    Until coachs realise that Rabiu is the cause of shapeless Blackstars we will keep disgracing ourselves. They want to keep playing him to increase his market value, they dont care about the nation

  • BOY KOFI 9 years ago

    Senegal could have scored us 5 clean goals.Jordon Ayew should not lead attack for Black Stars because he is not a good finisher.I have never seen him scored a goal with a header.Both Astu and Ayew are wingers,so if Jordon can ...

    The Coach is already on salary so he must take the blame to sit up next time. He offered no advice when things were going bad. The players were generally sluggish - no creativity, it was all walking football with uncountable ...

    TYPICAL GHANAIAN REFUSING TO LEARN HOW THE REAL WORLD WORKS!! HYPOCRITE!!!

  • Ekanson 9 years ago

    In Brazil, it was the coach who lacked tactical superiority. In EG, with the same crop of players, it is not the coach but the "lazy" players. Is it cos we cant stand our own kind in charge of affairs?

    What was disappointing was the way the team played not the lose. There was no cohesion between the players. Nobody seem to know what their roles were. What is the coach's role in this?

  • kutsii. 9 years ago

    It is Nyantakyi who should be slapped many times. The curse on him for robbing the taxpayer is what is affectong the team. Many Ghanaians wanted defeat so Nyantakyi wud be shamed. What a pity ! Until Nyantakyi resigns Ghana f ...
