Look at Argentina England France and Spain look at the ages of their coaches and players. What.youth to senior development plan do they have? How do they invest in soccer infrastructure. The wcup mo is Ghana has just received wont be reinvested into the sport NO..THE gfa peoppe and govt will all take their share like vultures eating carcasses. After all the wcup gh has participated in. Ghana don't have a professional training facility for men's and women's national teams to train at in preparation for major tournaments. Not too long ago out national team went to beg Nations FC to train there before the afcon in ivory coast..not long ago, other African nations woukd pay to come and train in Ghana before international tournaments..what happened? Today, President Mahama.is not.conducting Healthcare and sanitation when he has appointments sextor.ministers for these positions so I ask myself if those.ministwrs aren't performing or can't do the job. Why havent you fired them?

Desolve gfa and relegate the whole premier league so that we can have a new set of gfa executives. The ones we have now won't help. Rawlings destroyed the discipline in all faceats of life and some say he won us our last African cup but thinkers know it takes years to build a team so Acheampong built that team

Nothing will change with this gfa . Infact it is going be worse . So far, nobody has said anything , meaning things will go on as normal when the talking ceases. Don't be surprised if Desmond Offei is appointed Black stars coach to be assisted by John Painstil and Dawuda . I am indeed surprised that the President has not said anything . Kofi Adams is in no man's land and doesn't know what to do.

Cape Verde national team is a mix of many nationalities with roots from spanish, portugese, brazilian etc. Ghana can do same. Since there is dearth of potent strikers in Ghana ftom colts to premier league. Go and recruit or naturalise other surplus strikers elsewhere who are willing to don the national colours. For now the Mfums. Dogomoros, Peter Lampteys, Abukaris, BabaYaras, Joe Tex, Asamoah Gyans, KP Boatengs, Golden Boy Razaks are now rare species on the domestic scene.

We don't have any development plan as a nation,we politicize everything including football and that's our downfall. Until we stop the NPP /NDC foolishness we will never see any development in anything we do.We need to adapt a national plan of continuity and consistency devoid of party politics,else we will always make one step forward, two steps backwards. Long term planning ,consistency and continuity is the key to success. You can go wrong with that.

Abede Ayew Pele and his family should free the Black Star now, enough is enough with that devilish captainship band for nothing. For the past three decades, Abede and his family has collaborated with some GFA officials to hijacked and destroyed Ghana's image of football. The Black Star image will Surely come back if the Devils free the team and the offices. When Abede first hanged up his boot and resigned himself from the Black Star after disgracing the Ghana Black Star in Burkina Faso Africa Cup of nations tournament when Togo defeated Ghana 2 goals to 1 in quarter final stages. The ex-Ghana under 17 team coach called Silla Tetteh used his players to qualified for the world cup for the first time in Ghana's history. Those are some players like Agogo Junior, Michael Essien, Sulley Ali muntari, John Mensah, Dramani, Edward Ansah, Kingston the Goal keeper, Stephen Appiah, And so on made a history in Germany. Until the Devil, the arrogant brought his devilish back to buried the Black Star team totally. Papa Captain, The First son captain, and the last son also captain. Very soon if care not taking the grand children will become captain, captain, captain, captain Habbaa.

Fine infrastructure is key but if we have all the infrastructure and our leaders are CORRUPT , we’ll remain at zero . How can Lukassen play for the Black Starts at the World Cup level , totally absurd

Yes, we need improved infrastructure but that is not the only problem. Lack of strategic recruiting, mentorship and financial support in the development of new talent is desperately needed. It is not what we do on the pitch, but what we do off the pitch, is what will resuscitate our football. We need to manufacture and nurture talent like we are in a production plant. We need to break it down to a science and we will begin to see results.
