A subplot of Ghana's dramatic 4-3 victory over the Central African Republic has been Mohammed Kudus' entanglement in a dispute with some social media users.
The West Ham midfielder responded to some Ghanaians who criticized him for a performance below their expectations.
One of the criticisms sighted by GhanaWeb reads, "You people should tell Kudus the truth. He's not Messi, nor is he Ronaldo. He should stop doing too much and release the ball quickly."
The West Ham United star replied, "Masa, be quiet!!!!!"
Another tweet said, "Mohammed Kudus needs to be talked to. What kind of selfishness and unnecessary ball control is that?"
Kudus responded, urging the critic, "Come and talk to me yourself."
A video highlighting the performance of the West Ham United forward in the game has been circulating on social media as some journalists and fans defend Mohammed Kudus.
The highlights suggest that the criticism may have been exaggerated, as the forward did not perform as poorly as his critics claim.
The video also showed moments of over-elaboration and some level of momentary selfishness from Mohammed Kudus during the game.
