Why is everybody ignoring the fact that our players don't sing our National Anthem? . Only 4 countries in the world have national anthems without lyrics, and Ghana is not one of them.

Anytime we are playing a match and I see the other team players belting their national anthems with zeal, I know we'll lose. Those players know they're playing for their countries with pride, our boys are only playing as mercenaries. Patriotism isn't instilled in them

With all due respect, Capito, our local league is so rubbish nowadays that no player that plays in it deserves to wear the Black Stars shirt. Our local league is dead, so are the chances of the players that are playing in it, until things improve significantly. The current state of the Black Stars is the reflection of the happenings in the country right now.

I wonder which local language Appiah was speaking in camp with the other players in the countries he played professionally at?

GHANA'S GOVERNMENTS AND THE BLACK STARS ARE RUN LIKE PONZI SCHEMES.

PONZI SCHEME FIGURATIVELY MEANS CRIMINALLY ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL.

CRIMINAL OFFENCES LIKE CONFLICT OF INTEREST, HARD WORK, AND MERIT DO NOT EXIST AMONG GHANA'S SO-CALLED LEADERS.

AKUFO-ADDO AND KUFUOR'S GOVERNMENTS ARE PERFECT EXAMPLES OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND MERIT GONE ASTRAY. SUCH GOVERNMENTS ARE PERFECT EXAMPLES OF PONZI SCHEMES.

ANY GHANAIAN WHO DREAMS THAT GHANA WILL ONE DAY BE LIKE TAX-FREE DUBAI OR THE UAE, SAUDI ARABIA, OR QATAR IS A FOOL.

All what Stephen Appiah said is nonsense. He doesn't know what he is talking about. Saddick Adams sounds more reasonable. How many foreign players are in the Black Stars? Tariq Lamptey, Inaki Williams, Antoine Semenyo and Atti Zigi. The rest are Ghanaians players recruited to play abroad. Secondly, what is the performance of the local league in Africa? When was the last time Ghana U17 or U20 qualified for Africa let alone the world? The hard truth is that majority of Ghanaians are dishonest especially our leaders. Did you hear the sports minister? During the investigation, he came to talk trash. It is not only Ghana football which is failing, it is everything. Ghana's democracy, education, health, sports, industry, social cohesion, leadership etc.. Nothing is working in the country. We are in the 21st century. You need to plan your country, your economy, your sports and even your life. If you see the US, Britain, China, Real Madrid, Man City, Arsenal etc..prospering or progressing, it is not by chance. They plan for it. In Ghana, every institution is corrupt, from the government to the common man on the street. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. If Ghana wants to progress in football, they have to plan, have men of integrity and allocate funds for the rehabilitation of the facilities and recruiting responsible leaders and players.

@npp are you confused or drunk? Go and read what appiah said and see how you are contradicting yourself all over. If the nation is not paying youth coaches. How do you expect the team to win anything? Stop drinking.. medeama and dreams did well in Africa. BuT none of their players joined bstars. Why? The team must also visit orphanages, hospitals, senior or retirement homes when they camp

Otto can't do the job. He lacks discipline and you can twll the team lacks discipline when they play. The beat coaches right now are ancelotti and guardiola. Look at their ages? Find an aged coach to assist or coach bstars. There must be a quota for the local lg players. Its stupid to use all foreign based players to playbagainst local players from other African nations. Invest in sports infrastructure and make sure you pay the coaches you have hired.or else they will do ashawo with the team

The adaptation Appiah is talking here is baseless. How come Kudus, Partey and the Ghanaian players playing in Europe are not struggling to adapt in Europe? doesn't Kudus, Partey, Kamaldeen, Salisu, Semenyo, Lamptey all play in the same league? We talk too much.

Well said Tornado! Influx of foreign born players who come to play for Ghana as their second choice has been the problem .. Appiah’s time they had a few foreign born like Adu Sarpei and Otto Addo . This is why they succeeded . There too many foreign borns who are invited by the FA for their own interests. If we promote our local players and develop a plan like uncle Ben Koufie had done. We will succeed as a country . Chop chop FA president and his cronies are destroying our football

AKUFFO ADDO GOVERNMENT CAN'T PROVIDE JUST GOOD PITCHES AT THE FEW STADIA WE HAVE IN THIS COUNTRY FOR THE USE OF OUR PLAYERS HOW MUCH CAN WE TALK ABOUT GOOD PERFORMANCE OF OUR PLAYERS? IT HAS BEEN JUST "SIKADIE" FLIFLOUS SPENDING OF FUNDS AT ALL TIMES BY THIS USELESS GOVERNMENT. THE GOVERNMENT CAN CALL FOR THE SACK OF JUNIOR OFFICERS TO SAFE THEIR SHAMELESS FACES AND SPARE THE INCUMBENT MINISTER OF SPORTS WHO IS PERFORMING SO ABISMAL AT POST. AS FOR FOOTBALL GHANA IS FINISHED AS LONG AS THIS GOVERNMENT EXIST.

EVERY MESSY SHIT IN GHANA STARTS FROM THE FRAUDULENT CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE LEADERSHIP WE'VE HAD IN GHANA SINCE NKRUMAH. PERIOD!

GHANA'S FAKE FRAUDULENT LEADERS DO NOT GO TO WORK TO WORK HARD FOR THE MONEY WE THE TAXPAYERS PAY THEM MONTHLY. THEY ALL GO TO WORK TO LOOT THE STATE OR TO DESIGN EVERY CONCEIVABLE IMF AND OTHER STATUTORY LOANS TO LOOT. THEY THEN CREATE FAKE COMPANIES, PROJECTS AND CONSULTANCIES TO LOOT AND SHARE THE LOANS TO COLLAPSE OUR NATION'S ECONOMY.

HENCE WE HAVE FAKE PROJECTS LIKE THE AZAA "NATIONAL CATHEDRAL", FAKE DAMS AND FAKE WHAT HAVE YOU.

THAT'S WHY GHANA WILL NEVER BE LIKE LOAN-FREE AND TAX-FREE PROGRESSIVE DUBAI OR UAE, SAUDI ARABIA AND QATAR.

THAT'S WHY GHANA WILL REMAIN A BIG JOKE OF A GRAND PONZI SCHEME AND A PERFECT ANIMAL KINGDOM!

It is good we are investigating. The main point I gather here is the concentration on the lacal league and local players. Too many trials have been made with the foreign-foreign players like Inaki Williams and co, mixed up with local-foregn players like Partey, Kudus, Jordan etc. They have failed too often. Now we need to bring in the Local-locals who are excelling in all the departments. They are tho only ones who can lead us back to the Twinkle Twinkle style of Ghana football. Compare and contrast the current Ghana team with the current Brazillian Team. Both have gone astray because they have moved away from originality, style and compact footballing.

I was expecting Stephen to talk about undeserved and unpatriotic bonuses they demand from the nation.
1. winning bonuses of $10,000 each for AFCON and World Cup qualifying matches and even friendly matches.
2. appearance fee of $100,000 during AFCON and World Cup
3. group stage qualifying bonuses during tournaments
If players are a bit patriotic and are paid even half of the bonuses, the nation can save a lot of dollars to bring our pitches to international standards.
The Black Stars players from the year 2000 have been so money conscious that pride and patriotism in wearing the national Jersey have thrown to the dogs
