ofori wasnt paying attention. most goalies dont keep their eyes on the ball. they are instead watching players, their feet and thats how they concede cheap goals. ofori head wasnt in the match. he wasnt focuced on the ball. he thought the ball had last touched a Ghanaian player or wateva. he was confused.he couldnt decide to let go off the ball or catch the ball, or punch the ball. lack of concentration and this coming from a veteran goalie is bull. no excuse for that. i expect wolacott to making such mistakes. this is why agan, i saw the signs and advised clueless dumb houghton to start wolacott. houghton is a fool. why? he dosent take advice, he is a know it all.

I believe Richard's story. He got confused. It wasn't deliberate, expecially when it happened right after the penalty

That's ABSOLUTE NONSENSE, but that's what Ghanaians have become, finding excuses for everything including the infamous "eryer bonsam na emame yei"
I am beginning to think mediocrity and corruption are in our DNA

This is Anansesem, "I thought the ball was from a Ghanaian"? He didn't have eyes to see? All aspects of his goalkeeping is questionable. He should no more come closer to the Black Stars Team

Just keep quiet, Ofori! I have read another version in which you claimed you weren't protected by your defenders! Really? How can a keeper keep punching balls back to opponent attackers claim lack of protection? Accept it, you were completely out of form and had no right to be first choice keeper for the Black Stars. But Olele and Co pulled strings for you and the team suffered!

Thank you Ataya for your precise observation. Yes, the truth shall set you free, and the truth in Ghana is that akans rely on tribalism to seek favor for themselves but pretend it doesn't happen. The woes of Ghana, if traced objectively, will lead to akan selfishness and tribalism. You also emancipate yuasef from pretence and ostrich mentality, so that you will accept the truths in Ghana.

The guy made some spectacular saves during the match and I am sure if Ghana had won, we would all be hailing him. Cut the guy some slack.

We need to go back to the drawing board, sit down and begin brainstorming our problems and find solutions. Ideally we need to start building our team around Kudus, Nuamah, Fatawu and Kamaldeen. Also, need to start scouting young talent and start with the u-17 and up. Get rid of corruption and the bad minds!

Where you not the one who promised God the cathedral? Spare our players the criticism and go after this bad luck president!

Conceding corner kick is not the same as conceding a goal. The defends had all the opportunity to organize themselves to defend the corner. They failed as a team. Clearly, if he was not distracted by Amartey to allow the ball in the last minutes, it will have been a different story. They failed as a team.

Unnecessary explanation and childish reason.
Some journalists are only good at damage control when their favorite players fail miserably.

Bad goal keeping and bad defence were our problems. Bad organisation, bad positioning of themselves when it comes to corner keeps. No coordination, making unpardonable mistake just under little pressure

The ball should have hit his BALLS and carried him into our net so that his generation would know that they're all guilty of that idiotic goal: what a shitty excuse from Ofori the liar.

Critically look at the goal keeping department, and be careful in your selection,What even justified Ofori's inclusion in the squad,and the ice choc players as well.Africa football is different.
