If we’re being honest, Cheddar’s ideas and policies are better and miles ahead of both the NPP and NDC.

This guy is very smart... I hope Ghanaians will surprise the NPP and NDC this coming election https://t.co/UiFbswsi5c

Instead of Deciding not to Vote at all because NPP and NDC are both trash,

Vote for Cheddar.

He will not win but when the nation is in trenches after either of the two comes into power, you can at least say you tried to save the country from those two Hideous twins

Yussif Basigi will look back on this game and think there is a lot more he could have done in terms of player selection and positional deployments.

Whichever way, the points are gone.

Next game for the Black Princesses — vs. Japan. https://t.co/UscGf3owHP

Too many unnecessary long balls from the Black Princesses. Basigi should find a solution to that in the second half 😡
