Don't spread wrong info. Abedi was not a junior player when he was made captain. And please, did u watch Abedi play? No one refused to pass him. He was the maestro, the Pele of the 90s. U couldn't afford not to pass Abedi

In football,you don't always appoint the oldest player as captain.
The most important is to find a good balance between seniority and performance.
Now you understand why you didn't qualify for 2025 AFCON so tell me whose fault?
What are you going to do about the World Cup qualification?Tnx.

If you go to France,England, brasil, Argentina there are criteria for choosing captains. In Ghana there is no criteria..if a player bribes they can buy the captaincy. The selfishness is too much and this team

This is a chance for the U20 players to show who they are at the U20 AFCON in January. If there was ever a window it is now. Jerry Afriyie has secured his spot. Now let us see what some of the others will do.

You're right The same way some players are not happy with the inexperienced and over pampered Kudus being made captain. You cannot appoint a "boy" to do a "man's" job.

Mr. Thompson, I like you so much but this your reasoning is very flat. Kudus joined the stars some few weeks ago and you think he is better than Jordan ? May be you are speaking from the social perspective and it technical grounds. No coach will make Kudus a captain over Jordan, Partey nor any of the goalkeepers.
Ghana needs dedicated and trusted players to hold high the national flag and not players who are happy. During Abedi Pele's time, this same issue came up between him and Kwesi Appiah. Also, between Gyan and Dede. It's Jordan's turn to captain and nobody else. Stop the tribal card and look at players contributions to the team.

Whoever is the goalkeeper, even if it is their first cap, they take the captaincy. That's it. What is the big deal about the captaincy?

The only TEAM Ghana has had in modern history is the U20 that took the world cup. That was a team and the best team to could have be the Ghana Black Star. World football now is about a team not only good players. A team in and out that are free with one another, friends and flows together not jealousy and bite biting evil minds and mind sets we have now. Should the country upgrade that team for the senior team like Ghana can take the world cup but we mess that gift. We need to build a team first, in and out but how to get there again is the problem. So is not about captain or coach or gfa or whatever. Is the wisdom to build a team.

The level of stupidity with this man's reasoning is huge.

You are lying chief. The players were rather offended that Kudus was the captain. They are angry with the coach for that decision and decided not to honor the call up. It has nothing to do with Jordan. You are a liar.

Some people have not yet come to terms with the fact that Black Stars as a team is sinking into irrelevance in football. They always try to come up with flimsy excuses to justify our declining football status. We don’t have hungry and vociferous goal poachers cast in the mold of Asamoah Gyan anymore. Our players can dribble the ball but we forget that they are not Messi, and their skills don’t transfer into goals. Our players are not well-built and strong enough to compete physically. The issue has nothing to do with the captaincy. It’s with the caliber of players we select.
