I will challenge Ghana Fraud Association (GFA) to give the local Black Stars to Coach Grant and see if we can get different results. Our local league is going backwards.
How many of the 2009 team were playing their game in the local league?

Considering that he has a good win ratio at Chelsea, would you brand him as tactically inefficient if he loses a Game? If not, then I do not think Bobor should be branded as one, because he has proved his worth in managing the U20s. If Yes, then you are entitled to your opinion

A coach who can't play a Normal game without a single player (clifford & Asmah).
finally leaders in Ghana must learn to leave the stage when the applause is high.
Now Sellas tetteh is the first first coach to lift world cup trophy for Ghana but now he has erased and with this poor performance being the first coach to get Ghana out of the competition at this stage.

generally most of our coaches are not tactically minded especially ex footballers turned coaches. The problem is two fold: one the ex players turned coaches are not neccessarily the ones with playing pedigree. maxwell konadu, silas tetteh, nasamu yakubu, saban quaye are all ex footballers who never had the opportunity to be called into the blackstars to play in an international tournament. they were not up there. ex footballers who made it big at senior level in ghana football were players with pedigree: ck gyamfi, aggrey fynn, sir cecil jones attuquafio, ibrahim sunday, malik jabir etc. secondly senior coaches who are at the helm of affairs at ghana football are senior coaches because they made it big using some old boys to play in young boys' tournament: sam adday, oti akenteng, afranie, kwesi appiah, silas tetteh, maxwell konadu. if you look at these squad a lot of the players are not good passers of the ball.

Tacticians dont only need superior team to win, the win with tactics too.
The 99 team was just good and led by an every confident Dede Ayew, it made things easier.
But tell me, do you consider Silas Tetteh a good tactician? What system does his team play.
Talk about his substitutions, how effective are they. Have you every seen his team put up a better performance in second halves? these are points.
He won the under 20 the same way Roberto D'mateo won the Champs league for Chelsea
I stand by my point that he is a poor tacticians.

Insulting tetteh is childish and stupid as he has paid his dues over the years and on that basis i dont think that useless ghana press who change clothes to become football administrators and politicians can judge him like this article is. Ability is one thing but temperament is most important.Yes i blame borbor a bit but only because he selected these players who i have no doubt are good but they panicky, are anxious and scared even when they have the lead. Can you say the same about muntari, kpb etc. If the locals have such poor mental attitude then may be we need to start looking at our young ghanaians abroad.as for personal insults at borbor they are way below belt, cheap and unhelpful

The local league is poor, hearts in the 70s did not lose 4-0 to no tunisia side. Look at the chan side losing to madagascar and u24 losing to congo and you know we have problems when we call up this same players to u21s.poor local coaching and silly media hype and clamour for these players to be selected by quota for bs is making some believe they are better than they actually are. Where is that opeele who calls grant lazy and rubbish for not checking out local players? When all the dust is settled it is my hope that borbor will attend some refresher courses and will be given a chance if even with u24 to do his corrections. He has proven himself and we will be wrong to dispense with his long exoerience just like that. I believe going forward the next chan teams for better or worse must begin looking at having70% young players within ages 17 to 20. That way we can begin to have players with the right temperament and tourney experience. It is time to face up to our problems and begining building something better. Nigeria promoted u17 en masse and am very sure they may yet go all the way for nigeria.

The writer of the article is not worth its salt. Where was the writer when Silas Tetteh was winning all matches? Borbor reads the game. He knows what he is looking for all the time. However, football is unpredictable. Anything can happen in a game. For example, who would have thought that the Black Stars would whip Egypt in Accra? The Egyptian coach did not become a very bad coach because Egypt lost to Ghana. When teams take their chances and profit from their chances, they win. The Black Satellites did not turn up on Wednesday. There is no one reason why they played so badly against Mali. Calling for the head of Silas is untimely. I am sure that the writer wrote so much about Malik Jabir and Maxwell

It is a misunderstanding of football as a game to think that, all that is needed for a team to win is to have a good coach. A good coach is indeed necessary but that is no guarantee for victory. More important is a good team/players.
Silas Tetteh has long proved his mettle by being the only African coach as of now to win the U20 world cup. The defeat suffered in the hands of Mali in the ongoing tournament must not be blamed on the coach alone. First, we must know that it is not possible for a country to win all her matches all the time. That is the reason even Argentina 6 times winnerscould not survive the group stage. There even years when we Ghana could not even qualify for the world tournament. In short, our team was not good enough. And to make matters worse, they were made to believe they were so good so they played without exercising caution.
Our mentality towards age-restricted competitions is faulty in the sense that only smallish/shortish players must be selected. Football essentially a strength game and hence smallish or shortush players have a disadvantage and this was what Mali exploited.

We need to learn from everything that happen to us, as a people if we want to make progress as a nation devour of politics and ethnicity. We are out of the competition because of tactical blunders. We needed just to close our opponent down. Not to allow them to play. And to poses the ball more. We were always allowing our opponents to play their game plan. At this juncture, I will blame Sallas Tetteh. Brazil defeated Nigeria by closing the game. Mali defeated Ghana by closing the game. They did not allow us to play and the game was theirs to take.

The mistakes these boys were making had nothing to do with the coach, but all to do with general Ghanaian footballing attitude which we all have to come together to erradicte. Too much style over substance. Not releasing the psses on time.Everyone wanted their mums to see them with the boy before they released it to the dashing striker. The basics of footballing like playing the way you are facing, not passing the ball square in the midfield, not letting the cross from the wing come through were all missing. At this level in football, the boys had it all to gain by playing well. They think they are good enough and have already made it, so the attitude is not reflective of boys wanting to progress and wanting to learn and do well. I have been close to these teams during these tournamnets in my role for the LOC. The Ghana boys think they are already footballers rather than aspiring footballers who need to work hard to earn their keep. I wouldn't be surprise if non of these boys make it big time. Looking at Nigeria play was sheer joy. They worked and toiled. the Germans were physically imposing and difficult to break down. All the German players were at least a head taller than their Nigerian counterparts and about 3 shavings of ham thicker. Silas choice of personnel and game plan did not help during this tournament. It was unfortunate and maybe time to change guards. He has done an awesome job so far and needs to be congratulated even if we need to change him.

Borbor is the only African, Ghanaian coach that gave us a world cup and a third position at the world stage. How can anybody who is useless as you would want us to believe achieve that? It is not true that our play was predominantly floating long balls. There may be some few mistakes but a lot of the long balls were justified. We lost because our boys were not fully in shape - they looked a bit de-energized and also because of some few tactical slips that are common with coaching failures in football.

If the writer understands tactics and has actually played soccer before, he would realise that the match was lost by the players not the coach. Silas summed it thus: if an opponent wins every 50-50 encounter, you know who is ...

When the team wins then it is the doing of Coach Tetteh and his great find B.tetteh.Why can't the responsibility of this humiliating lose be at his feet.
Even winning teams likes Man U, Chelsea and Barcellona lose some games. We are all disappointed that we lost but if the Coach summed it the way Nii Armah is saying then we should understand him.
u make no sense. the writer is right. Silas Tetteh has never been a great tactician and the game confirmed it.
HE HAS DONE HIS BEST AND IT IS TIME FOR HIM TO BE CHANGED
Mr journalist I think u have a case but my beef is linking the flaw to previous successes. The thing is, you are never a criminal until you are caught and successfully prosecuted in court.
Answer this pls, do u think a worl ...

Big man, Bobor is a good man manager but a bad tactician
When he gets a group of players superior to his opponent's he is able to motivate them and give them the freedom to perform well.
Tacticians dont only need superior ...

The local league is poor, hearts in the 70s did not lose 4-0 to no tunisia side. Look at the chan side losing to madagascar and u24 losing to congo and you know we have problems when we call up this same players to u21s.poor ...

But Hearts lost 4_0 to Ethiopia team called St. Georges. Hearts lost 5_2 Zambia team called Wanderers.
The writer of the article is not worth its salt. Where was the writer when Silas Tetteh was winning all matches? Borbor reads the game. He knows what he is looking for all the time. However, football is unpredictable. Anythin ...

You make no sense. The writer is simply saying he hass never been impressed by ST.
That aside, he gave loudable reasons.
ST needs to up his game.
I so disappointed with this result.
It is a misunderstanding of football as a game to think that, all that is needed for a team to win is to have a good coach. A good coach is indeed necessary but that is no guarantee for victory. More important is a good team/ ...

Our players simply were not good enough and got exposed by a bigger more athletic team. The teams we played in the group stage were: Austria (not as athletic or fast), Argentina (great skill but a step slower), Panama (hard ...

HE SHOULD HAVE PARK THE BUS AND TELL THEM TO STOP THE LONG BALLS
You have to be careful not to crush the bus!
Thanks for your analysis. It is refreshing to have such intelligent point of view. Some of the other posters here are plain ignorant.
when he won for the time he said it was the help of the Nigeria. Con man where is he now?
In the whole article you manage to point just one mistake that the coach did and nothing more i.e. floating long balls into the opponents area. Apart from that you said nothing more. It seems you do not even understand soccer ...

1 in ability to change tactics
2 In ability to effect good substitutionm
3 Lacks touchline presence
these are points raised. did you read the article all?
Silas Tetteh has always been a poor tactician. You can go back and look at all the youth teams he has coached and you will see that his teama win based on individual skills. Silas Tetteh has no tactics or plan A or plan B.
You are indeed a quack journalist with a very poor sence of judgement. Where were u all dat long without passing such a naive comments. Better shut up not 2 further expose your naivety. U are thesame people who said The Black ...

These tribalist morons?
We need to learn from everything that happen to us, as a people if we want to make progress as a nation devour of politics and ethnicity. We are out of the competition because of tactical blunders. We needed just to close our ...

Yes I turned off my TV and stopped watching the game little after 50 minutes into play. I could clearly see our boys lack urgency playing like there was nothing at stake.
Come on, there are better defenders in Ghana than what we saw. The left and right full backs were very weak.
Is it a case of "PAY AND PLAY" by their agents as usual? Their performance as a team was poor even when they were b ...

bobor is already faillure and his employers are faillures so they can't sack him.may God save mother Ghana.
The mistakes these boys were making had nothing to do with the coach, but all to do with general Ghanaian footballing attitude which we all have to come together to erradicte. Too much style over substance. Not releasing the ...

Youi are barbaric. He raised some good points
It is clear you have some hatred for Borbor, otherwise how can you paint such pixs - lies about him. Borbor is the only African, Ghanaian coach that gave us a world cup and a third position at the world stage. How can anybody ...

You just came to attack the writer. He is expressing his honest opinion and I for one do agree with him. Is Bobor a good tactician? What system does he play?
Get a life.
Idiots! With all the incompetence-caused deaths in Ghana how do you think the players' moral will be? Ghana's incompetent leaders are a liability to Ghanaians everywhere. We are not proud of you at all. You demoralize Ghanaia ...
