  The boys played well, especially Abdul Latif. Too bad he doesn’t get to play in the World Cup to show the world his talent. In this game and the Senegal game, the team lost due to tactical incoherence late in the game. In key moments, the coaching was subpar. Also the starting goalkeeper in this game was not the best. The first Ugandan goal and the 10-man Senegalese goal were his fault. Better luck next time.

  These players must be absorbed by the government and put them into military to prepares them philosophical ideology of black star and African, the mental set of wining and focusing on a game to execute to the last drop of breathe, physically fit and learning how to cope as a group or team .. I believe the Ministry of sports should pay attention to to all selected boys and girls to be good to represent the country, wether win or lost must be having a continuous preparation towards next level of selection of talents to represent the country plus rules to tide the boys down in this country till 21 before lure them any contracts… GFA are thieves and sellers of players for their own good simple put …

  Adding to the seizure and the hostage-taking of the country are the nefarious and ignominious activities from atrocious and thieving political rogues and their evil corroborators.

  I really find it difficult to point a finger at the team cos I feel it was hard luck. Watching tge matches it seems the children were not psychologically trained because they felt successful immediately after taking the lead then they get hit. What can we say except to say the are still growing and lets remember these were 'born' just after 2012...still kids, lets not as adults treat them like the Black Stars. We have started seeing the fruit of our system after using right ages in the past 10 years...no progress...but it'd pay off pretty soon. One thing which got me pissed was the time wasting by our goalie. Who taught him that nonsesical behaviour? I hated it to the core. Good he came home

  Laryea failed woefully to qualify the starlets to the U17 AfCON when we hosted it in our own backyard just about a year or two ago in Accra and was even cautioned by CAF for screaming/insulting the young lads from the touchlines. I think he has built upon that experience and platform we gave him so stop the blame game.

  If a coach in the calibre of Ogum has failed then which Ghanaian coach can we trust again for the starlets.The most painful aspect is the increase in number for the participation countries from Africa to as many as ten but we still failed to qualify.So does Ghana football really have a future at all.What I noticed is that all the teams we played had very good goalkeepers but all the three goalkeepers we produced were average and as for the attackers the least said about them the better.

  These boys are going to sold like hot potatoes for chicken fee put them in Europe club academies and got them rotten from there.
  
  If the ministry of sports and the Government means business they should take the entire players of 25/30 into the military “ boys company “ with one of battalions.
  
  They are to continue training and they to form a standing team The real black stars” for a core team 2030.
  
  Groom these your boys , get the their mental step up for winning, let them play as a team, let them playing in the midweek withe Ghana league teams, at end of that particular one season, assign them Africa tours to play every African nation friendly games, after year assign them international friendly with international national times and clubs in Europe.. after that excises they boys should be ready to compute in U fee 20 tournament in WAFA zone, then AFCON, then the World Cup all under U20.
  
  Why can’t we do this plan and put this program together ,but rather look at The president of the GFA and his gangsters of football administration in this country, collectively hot selling these young boys at this their ages to migrate abroad without any preparation for the to maturity and ability to climatizing the international situation in lifestyle..???
  
  these boys end up in European cities with a different culture and lifestyle of living… all because the authorities in Ghana want to cash in quick on them ???
  GFA has no further pans for them , no intention of keeping them as core team to prepare them further….
  There must be a requirement and regulations here in the counter no player can ever be recruited no mater what without attaining 21 years and that must have completed a three years military training in the boys company at army barracks for maturity y.
  
  Mr. Sports minister listen to me an absorbs theses boys very quickly as (The Real Black Stars 2030) Amen
