4 titles, 5 silvers, 1 bronze, a total of 10 times on the podium.

Now, just qualifying for the competition is just a fantasy. Oh, so soo, sooo sad.

No surprise here as Gambias players are by far better than our disgraceful kwasi sibos gideon mensahs and benjamin asares low quality shithole players. Where are those who thought Jordan is our problem?? Queiroz, Otto Addo, Pep Guardiola Mourinho it does not matter who is in charge even Ghana even if okraku and the minister of sport are gone we wont go anywhere. We have lived in past glory for too long and forget to 7nvest in football in general. If we start to overhaul now it would still take 120 years for Ghana to reach quarter finals in afcon in the year 2147.

The FA needs a serious overhaul. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

But 4 straight losses?: Croatia, Colombia, Ivory Coast, Gambia. Before that, it was 5 straight: Japan, Korea, Austria, Germany, Mexico, which made the draw against Wales look acceptable, and the one against England look heavenly.

Hmmm, a lot of money going under the bridge, no end in sight.

You stupid idiots, this is the result when you call up players like Benjamin Tetteh, Jonas Adjetey, Kwasi Sibo, and so on into the national team. You and your balls-up with second-division players. Adjetey is a benchwarmer in the second division. Opoku plays in Turkey for a garbage team. Djiku is just as bad, playing somewhere in Russia. It is unbelievable that players like Sibo and Benjamin Tetteh even play in a national team.
Semenyo and Kudus don't feel like it anymore because they know that Okraku has no clue about football, and it doesn't matter whether Ayew was there or not—he definitely belongs out. And regardless of whether Afena-Gyan scored a goal, what business does a second-division player in Turkey have being in the national team?????? Unbelievable. Then also a player from Libya who has two catastrophic feet.
You chased Inaki away; no matter how bad he was, he should have always played and built up chemistry and understanding with Semenyo and Kudus!!! Ghana is finished. Okraku, that guy has zero clue about football."

He called up these players because this is what Ghana has got. Who are the players you think he should have called. Where are these players hiding? Underground? You think Semenyo and Kudus alone can carry a team. You see this is what the average Ghanaian doesn't understand. We just don't have quality players. If you can't field at least 1 decent goalie, 1 quality defender, 2 or 3 quality midfielders and 1 quality striker, your team is ordinary or even below par. We just don't have quality players anymore. It doesn't matter who the coach is.

We need to restructure and modernize our whole football and sporting infrastructure. These countries that are beating us are simply doing a better job developing and investing in the game, whereas we are hanging on to old glory which most Ghanaians were not even alive to witness it anyway. No one is going to give us shit because of our name. We have to earn it like everyone else. Look at Brazil. Nobody is given them respect anymore. The heydays when you say Brazil and people jump are long gone. This is a new era, nations have caught up, so you have to reinvent yourself or else GET LOST!

Some of us saw it coming when mist people pulled away from the team then I sensed it's not about injuries but psychological!!

Interference petty squabble money eg coach Akwasi Appiah and his Sudan boys don't even play in their country cod of war yet they keep pushing

From the days of Same Akwasi Appiah and Abedi when Ajwasi was stripped of the captainship in favour of Abedi because according to them Akwasi could not speak French there has never been itself.

And it has not occurred to anyone to bring on board a psychologist to do the needful

The ineptitude of our FA is slowly eroding the great gains of our hard working government. The embarrassment is too much. We are wasting taxpayers money to pay a foreign coach every local Ghanaian coach can do better than what he is doing. The best way out is that the government should step in, dissolve the GFA( FIFA may sanction us but that is alright). The government should then appoint ex-footballers with administrative/management acumen to supervise the rebuilding of Ghana soccer with active restructuring of Colts soccer in all cities in the country. Then develop under 17, 20, and 23 soccer. We then need equity audit team to access performance for recommendations. Let's give ourselves 3 to 5 years and we will be fine again. This will even create stronger confidence in government to win the next elections. The current FA should also be thoroughly audited and be prosecuted if found guilty to serve as a check to others. God bless our Homeland Ghana and raise visionary and exceptional leaders.

Jordan was key in our World Cup qualifiers, but something happened between the end of the qualifiers and the beginning of the Cup.

He was a complete flop through the pre-Cup friendlies and even worse during the Cup.

He should be kept out forever. Fielding a player is not about gratitude, it's about fitness, attitude, concentration, interest in the job, and the ability to execute. He is just not able anymore.

Throw a nation-wide party for him to show gratitude, but don't put him on the pitch.

This is a big shame to Ghana. Yes, we missed most of our quality players. But to have a lead of 2 goals, squash it, and end up with 4-2 goals against you in your home court, is a disgrace. We don't put all the blame on the coach because he didn't have enough time to access these players. The once he knew already we're all sidelined because of injuries. So some of these players, the coach didn't even know. But being professionals, they should have put their experience in their respective teams into play. This is a shame and disgrace and there's no mathematics going to save us. We have already been eliminated from AFCON 2027, it's as simple as that.

The coach doing try and error as the previous other coaches. This is how Adams Kwarasey was replaced after losing their first group game with USA. We lost one of our finest GK Adam Kwarasey and he was never called again after fielding a weak RB in the person of Daniel Opare in such a high profile game against USA.. Was Ati Zigi so bad to be changed. After playing well in Buoake, the players couldnt last the entire 90 mins. An age old problem bordering on fitness, stamina, lack of concentration even before Qatar 2022 through the latter Cote D'Ivore Afcon. Gideon Mensah commits a penalty and he is blaming the defeat on new comers. The team is in shambles. This is not the time to make new changes, it is time to strengthen the technical bench with physical trainers, video assistants, medics, etc.
