JUST LOOK....LOK AT THE SHAMBOLIC DISGRACE BY GFA AND NIT JUST BLACKSTARS BUT ALL THE OTHER NATIONAL TEAMS, MENS AND WOMEN. YET, THE PRESIDENT IS SITTING THERE SCRATCHING HIS BALLS LIKE NOTHING IS HAPPENING. MUAHAHAAAAAA. GYIMIFUO. SEND ROTTWEILERS TO GFA TO CHASE OUT THESE MONEY HUNGRY, INCOMPETENT NINCOMPOOPS AND IF FIFA THINS THEY HAVE THE BALLS TO RETALIATE. LET THEM COME...WHY ARE OKRAKU N OTTO STILL EMPLOYED? THEY SHOULD BE JAILED BY NOW FOR 2 WEEKS. LET INFANTINO OR WHATEVER HIS NME IS BAN GHANA. WE DONT CARE.....WITH THIS ENERGY, HOW CAN GH EVEN QUALIFY TO WCUP? AS LONG AS GFA REMAINS AS IF GHANA SHOULD FORGET ABOUT WCUP APPEARANCE. IF YOU WANT OPTIMUM RESULTS, YOU NEED RADICAL CHANGE. IF YOU NEED TO RUN LIKE USAIN BOLT. YOU MUST ADOPT RADICAL TRAINING OR ELSE MASSA, YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME.

Stop praising mediocrity! That's why we're failing as a country and might really become the worst country in Africa, since dastards like you are satisfied with even sub-mediocrity.

Okraku should have been removed long ago, because he's one useless airhead, but tell me, how many cups did Nyantakyi win for Ghana? But he has everything; far richer than any average Ghanaian. Last, I read in the news he even withdrew about $3 million[?] from Black Stars account for himself.

Listen, we don't just want to watch Black Stars football game; we need to get beyond! We're tire of wasteful spending. If they can't win any more cups, tell me why they merit the money Ghana gives them than the ordinary Ghanaians on the streets? We can watch football on the streets or anywhere in Ghana!

I am sure you have a brain damage. Why is it always about downplaying players everyday? What is wrong with you people? Very sick minded. I am hoping all the foreign players quit playing for Ghana because it is having an effect on their careers. They should all quit before it is too late. Antoine Semenyo and the rest shouldn't come back their families should advise them, Ghanaians are evil who always wants to bring others to their level so they will say things to dispirit you. If you care about your career as a professional player, don't play for Ghana.

Definitely right on that St. Ghfuo, the coach is the one to be blamed for sure. How many times have you seen Elisha shoot at a goalie? Nein, just sideways passing nkoaaa! This Sulemana (Atlanta) guy who barely got into the team has been shooting. Let's not look further, just look at Afriyie Acquah or Wakaso playing that same 6 position and see how they move the ball into spaces or shoot! Just watch their highlight. Alidu is so emotional and loves unnecessary fouls and cards.

I mention Nyantakyi because between 2006 and 2014, Ghana attended 3 world cups...and we could not even boast of a standard national stadium -- and you want players to come kill themselves for these greedy bastards? These greedy bastards forget that when then nation goes down, they are part of it too, and will later pay for their stupidity and crimes?

Word to the wise, Ghana! Make corruption a painful experience for all those who engage in it at all levels. Righteousness exalts a nation!

Beats me how stupid and greedy we have become as a nation -- look at even our water bodies! Foolish black leaders who will sell their own, for anything. No wonder blacks went into slavery. Always electing foolish greedy leaders and never holding them accountable, then we turn around to complain about the very people we foolishly elected.

Idiots!

It will be okay. Junior Agogo, KP Boateng, Quincy Owusu Abeyie and others didnt start from any academy. A good coach can just blend any group of professional players together over a period. It is the crave for local coaches and ex- footballers and local journalist, GAFA, local football administrators etc who dictate for local coaches with no or minimum football philosophy, tactical discipline and player management who have destroyed the team.
