This is a very poor excuse..if Niger team travelled by bus to come to Ghana to play friendly, why did Ghana not do the same by travelling by bus to Ivory Coast, Togo or Nigeria to play friendlies...Ghana beat Cameroon 5-0 and Gabon, host country, 4-0..you think they did not prepare?..The GFA always uses the 'lack of funds' excuse to escape guilt..its always somebody or something else but not them

The manager was tactically clueless. The midfield was gone and weak. The players lacked strength. Goalkepper panicking and making unnecessary mistakes when under no pressure.The manager is too heavy to even motivate the players. The manager needs extra exercise and coaching course to help him improve the team.

Always giving excuses. When will we actually accept that the next guy was better this time around. Do we always have to win. Have we forgotten that other nations are growing up as well. Look at the sprint races, now Jamaica has taken over yet no American is making noises rather people have been sent there to see why and how they are doing better than the US so that if there is the need to learn from their ability and new skills they do, yet Ghana is always giving excuses. Mali was better on that faithful day period no questions.

It is because of people like George Afriyie that Ghana football is suffering. What is he talking about? The Starlets went all the way to Tanzania to play in friendlies, so what is this joker talking about? Our team was formed and camped for close to 2 years so this crap of excuses must stop. We simply lost to a better team with better tactical approach to the match. Ghana football will continue to wallow in the doldrums if people like George Afriyie and his ilk who have hijacked Ghana football and made it their personal property are not done away with. Let him give us a break.

So according to Afriyie, Mali had more funds, followed by Ghana, Niger or Guinea etc.
These thieves survive from government to government and keep blackmailing Ghanaians.

Tell this man to spare us the hypocrisy and blatant incompetence. So every team in the tournament had a video analyst? You want a video analyst for U17? What did video analysis do for us at the 2014 World Cup?If you can not do the job step down for more competent hands to take the mantle and stop giving us unintellectual excuses for the poor performance. Did you need video analysts to beat Niger? Are you serious at all?

What is the GFA VEEP saying about the Starlets? When the team trashed Cameroun and Gabon, of a total of 9 goals, did he tell the world that the team could not undertake training tours?

It was obviously that the Malians were far better than us? when the Black stars are going for Tournaments, don't they allow Assistant coach to support the Head coach?

They placed 2nd and have qualified for the WC. The VEEP must convince the govt to fund fruitful training tours and stop these useless and vexatious excuses!

Ghanaians and their funny excuse. They will never own up but give excuses.Rethink and ask the palyers where they felt went wrong and do not jump into conclusion that due to lack of funds.

The Malians are a better side, no wonder they are the defending Champions and they deserve to win the cup. We failed to utilize our chances.
