Good luck, Ghana. Japan is a tough team, but Ghana can win or draw. What Ghana needs is a solid number 9.

I HOPE COACH OTTO ADDO WILL SEE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TEAM COHESHION & BEGIN TO COACH OUR TEAM ALONG THOSE TACTICS. SEE HOW THE JAPANESE ARE MAKING OUR TEAM LOOK LIKE AMATEURS ON THE FIELD OF PLAY; WE CAN'T EVEN KEEP SIMPLE POSESSION OF THE BALL...ZERO TEAM WORK.

Modern football is about harmonious team play. The old days individual abilities and skills contribute just a little to team and can only make a difference in few occasions in today's football. Observing from Black Stars, they're not playing strategic or tactical game. They get possession and don't know what to do with it, just hold and lose it again. No attacking prowess, no midfield ingenuity, no nothing, they're just holding on to the ball and defending shakily. The coach and his technical team are the problem. They lack attacking ideas and also fall short in defensive techniques too. We have the players to represent but a brain lazy technical team will just waste our time and resources like what they did in the Afcon.

Boss this is no where near our starting 11. No Jordan, No Kudus, No Partey, No Asare, No Gideon Mensah, No Salisu, No Djiku, No Alidu. These guys never played together before. They're being tested.

It doesn't matter chairman, that's why they call themselves professionals. How do you even know if the Japanese team is also a new team? It's about team strategy and tactics of which it's clear our technical team lack.

@KwameAdu007 HOW LONG CAN YOU USE SUCH XQS FOR INCONSISTENT PLAY? A GOOD TEAM IS NOT BORNE OF A FEW REGULAR PLAYERS, BUT THE ENTIRE TRUP UNIT. IT IS EXEECUTING WHAT THEY ARE COACHED(STYLE OF PLAY) THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE.

Actually, other than the one goal, the defense has been decent. The issue is we have not put anything together on attack.

What formation is the coach playing? The 3 man defense can’t hold the fast Japanese attack.. They are playing nothing, no game plan to win the game. HE IS NOT USING KEY PLAYERS SO THAT GHANAIANS DONT PUT THE BLAME ON THE COACH. IS THIS THE TIME TO LOOK FOR NEW PLAYERS TO BUILD THE TEAM OR IS THE TIME TO BUILD PLANS, COHESION TO MAKE THE TEAM STRONGER? THE technical team is not fooling anyone.

so shouldnt common sense tell okraku to learn from japan and how they have structures and how they invest in the sport? even if you dont have a brain to think. cant you copy the japanese structure and use that to your advantage? every wcup gh goes to they get money from participating. none of those monies have been invested in the sport speaking of youth, the gpl or even soccer infrastructure. if you dont invest in your children. do you really care about them? no....so if gh is not investing in soccer, do they care? clearly not. GROW UP GHANA

I think we should forget about the World Cup. We are used to playing the likes of Chad, Sudan, CAR, Comoros, Madagascar.What am watching is not football at all.

Blackstars can never win against Japan because the japanese actually invest in their football contrary to ghana which is paying off. Japans women are amongs best in the world and all of their men youth teams participate at wc's regularly and they put their foolish patriotism aside in order to learn from foreigners who have long mastered the art of football. meanwhile in ghana we dont invest anything in football, we dont invest in our domestic league, facilities or academies. our youth teams are massively declineing and fail to enter continental or intercontinental tournaments for the past 10 years. We have highly INCOMPETENT local fools such as FATAU DAUDA and JOHN PENCIL manning crucial positions within our technical staff. Thst fool dauda obviously has an agenda against ati zigi because he plays abroad and dauda was a local gk so he wants to make local gks look better than our best gk which is still ati zigi. On top of that we have the most corrupted idiot as our GFA president who has singlehandedly expanded his term as gfa president. Otto Addo is not to blame infact he is the most competent man in our technical staff. You can call him scout or call him ball boy but it does not change the fact that he iscurrently the BEST coach in Ghana. Konadu, Karim Zito and Dramani are nowhere near Otto Addo. The are just incompetent puppets of KURT OKRAKU

This just reinforces my point about more dual nationals switching nationality to play for us because you see how we lost to Japan just now? If we had people like Nketiah, Hudson Odoi, Lavia, Owusu-Odoro, etc. We would have had enough depth where we wouldn't be missing our key guys and losing!!! This just further proves my point even more

I think we have to be realistic. Even if you add superstars we are not there yet. I keep saying that we are average to above average with the blessing of Kudus and veterans like Jordan and Partey. Once in awhile we will play a great game. We just have to support what we have and hope to get out of the group.

Japan? Is this coach nuts? Forget about losing a game. If Black Stars want real trial competition ,play against South America teams excluding Argentina. These guys are tough and we want Black stars to be equally tough. This coach does not take advice from nobody.

It's like our players are scared to be injured. They are refusing to play their hearts out because they are scared of injury ahead of the 2026 world cup.

even with the so called big boys gh will lose. why u ask. there is a difference between soccer iq and knowing how to play. the japanese players may nt have a lot of individual skill but the UNDERSTAND SOCCR. they play very simple. break and pass and the only time a player hold unto the ball is when they are surging forward or using their back towards the gh goalie as a decoy to free up space for another japanese player they cna pass the ball to. but look at gh players...they are the exact opposite. they like to hold unto the ball. they dont hold the ball to create space for another player or to act as a decoy/fake. they dont switch. they dont move without the ball. the dont play simple tic tac toe ball. hence the result
