Ghana needs better leadership with vision and not jokers. Carlos Queiros is going to continue his failure experimentations. Mahama, stop the lies, Ghana deserves better. We should let someone like Laryea Kingston handle the black stars with less cost and pragmatic approach to the game. He is a Ghanaian, he has played for the black stars before and he has links with the veteran players. The money being paid to this looser Carlos Queiros is so wrong for a country unknowing what to do after a serious flooding situation. We obviously need better leadership who can remove Kurt okraku or disband the black stars team for sure. I don't have any interest in the black stars anymore because of our leadership's mismanagement!

How can a team that failed to qualify for AFCON only months earlier be accused of underachieving after reaching the World Cup knockout stage? This was a side many had written off before the tournament. Yet, despite losing key players like Mohammed Salisu, Alexander Djiku, and Mohammed Kudus, and enduring the off-field turmoil surrounding Thomas Partey, they still produced a better World Cup campaign than the previous Black Stars team. That is the very definition of exceeding expectations. When measured against recent failures, depleted personnel, and immense psychological pressure, President Mahama was absolutely right—the Black Stars didn't just meet expectations; they shattered them.

My friend, if Ghana wasn't good enough, then we should not have qualified for the world cup. We didn't go there to just participate. I quite remember hearing the gfa chairman or sports minister telling us that we were going to win the cup. Ghana has been at the world cup before so our football pedigree is not lower than Cape Verde. Now we have a president in Mahama who is encouraging us to accept mediocrity as a win. That is not the black stars of Kwame Nkrumah... Ghana deserves better!

Having lost to Japan, Korea, Austria, Germany and Mexico, and only managing a draw against Wales, our collective, realistic, honest expectation was that they would not survive the group stage, but they did, so they exceeded expectations.

He wasn't talking about goals scored. He was talking about going into the knockout stage, which we did achieve.

This statement can only come from an incompetent President. You call Black Stars performance as exceeding expectations? Like, you were not expecting them to get out of the group stage? Why did they go there in the first place. Had it not been GFA corruption and fielding of incompetent players, couldn't they have beaten Colombia and went on to the last 16th?

The team was condermed by our sports journalists before we set foot to the tournament. Andy Kerm of kessben even said that we don't have a safe goalkeeper and that Benjamin Asare catches only feeble shorts in the Ghana premier league. He also said Asare cannot stop Harry Kane's shorts. He also said we would need a basket to pack our goals back home which never was the case. Many others thought we would not exceed the group stage which was the opposite. So I agree with the president 100 percent that we exceeded Ghanaians expectations. Let's stop the hipocracy.

Of course,the Stars exceeded expectations: late selection, insecure coaching, political interference, nobody expected the Stars to get very far. They played to DRAW and not to Score Goals.
Until Ghana starts to do things differently, and we continue the Business as Usual we are going to go round in circles..getting nowhere. Governance, The Economy, State of Impunity( near lawlessness)..
Somebody should wake up to the facts on the ground...

The Black Stars did very well,even the idiots who believed we didn't have a team later joined in supporting them.Selection of players is the major problem of our Stars and we have to start building our first eleven players.

What kind of country is this? With the players we have and having played England with the strategy we had - JM, so you don’t think Ghana could have done better? If a prez is such a low standard then what should we expect from his cabinet? I shock-self. Yes, we done have Messi, but what did Cape Verde had that was better than us, apart from good planning out of sensible leadership? Let’s stop this disgraceful nonsense.

Mr president set up good investigate in the Black Stars and you yourself will found out how corrupt is it! The GFA is one corrupt individuals pulling Ghana football down money corruption bribery sacks all of them and replace them with older football they will save Ghana football not Okraku and Adams and the rest please Mr president Mahama. All else speak with some of the older players there’s a corruption bribery scandal going on in Ghana football right now, if you don’t believe this story go from town to town and city to city you yourself will found out there are good players in Ghana never get chance to represent their country Ghana because of corruption bribery in Kumasi Accra Sunyani koforidua everywhere’s in Ghana there’s some boy they refused to add to Ghana u12 15 17 20 and 23 big damage is going on in Ghana because of GFA the corrupt politicians Okraku and Adams both corrupt.GFA is playing games with Ghanaians and to you yourself if the old players who got the chance to play for Ghana will come out and give you a full details of what happened in Ghana football you yourself will get what i am talking about GFA is very very much corrupt bribes lies. Thanks for taking time to read this is all true.

Eyyyyy. If indeed One win, One draw, & One loss exceeded expectations then our hopes were VERY VERY LOW indeed. It tells us that we were targeting to avoid being the very last team in our group.
