  A time has come for the nation to move all our National teams to National Sports Authority to handle.Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah & IK Acheampong used Sports Council to win us all our laurels in Sports. The current GFA is very Corrupt to handle any National team. The state will have control over NSA if they misbehave as for GFA it will be difficult

  The boys played well, especially Abdul Latif. Too bad he doesn’t get to play in the World Cup to show the world his talent. In this game and the Senegal game, the team lost due to tactical incoherence late in the game. In key moments, the coaching was subpar. Also the starting goalkeeper in this game was not the best. The first Ugandan goal and the 10-man Senegalese goal were his fault. Better luck next time.

  Nsa can't be trusted to even manage, maintain stadiums and gate proceeds and you thinks it's best for them to handle our national teams? Everything in Ghana is a joke Ghana athletics, gfa, goc. Under this system the nation has won trophies at all levels. Those at the helm are incompetent and the sports minister must Crack the whip and demand results, trophies or else heads must roll n no money will come in..results is money.

  Things keep falling apart in every sector of the country. It seems some horrendous and malevolent demons have seized the country and it hostage.
  
  Adding to the seizure and the hostage-taking of the country are the nefarious and ignominious activities from atrocious and thieving political rogues and their evil corroborators.
  
  Ao Ghana, animguaseɛ ne nkwaseasɛm nkoaa. In the midst of all these foolishness are the rampant mushrooming of religious groupings sprouting across even uninhabited places of the country.

  I really find it difficult to point a finger at the team cos I feel it was hard luck. Watching tge matches it seems the children were not psychologically trained because they felt successful immediately after taking the lead then they get hit. What can we say except to say the are still growing and lets remember these were 'born' just after 2012...still kids, lets not as adults treat them like the Black Stars. We have started seeing the fruit of our system after using right ages in the past 10 years...no progress...but it'd pay off pretty soon. One thing which got me pissed was the time wasting by our goalie. Who taught him that nonsesical behaviour? I hated it to the core. Good he came home

  Laryea was never rejected in his own country.
  He quit after a single loss at African Games.
  Even the corrupt GFA begged him to stay but he refused.

  Laryea failed woefully to qualify the starlets to the U17 AfCON when we hosted it in our own backyard just about a year or two ago in Accra and was even cautioned by CAF for screaming/insulting the young lads from the touchlines. I think he has built upon that experience and platform we gave him so stop the blame game.

  If we hosted it, how did he fail to qualify the Starlets to it? Read Prophet's second comment. Laryea lost 2-1 to Burkina Faso in the semis of the 2024 WAFU Cup of Nations at Legon and decided to quit.

  If a coach in the calibre of Ogum has failed then which Ghanaian coach can we trust again for the starlets.The most painful aspect is the increase in number for the participation countries from Africa to as many as ten but we still failed to qualify.So does Ghana football really have a future at all.What I noticed is that all the teams we played had very good goalkeepers but all the three goalkeepers we produced were average and as for the attackers the least said about them the better.

  We keep failing because of our officials', coaches' and players' assumption that " We are Ghana" and have therefore qualified, even before the qualifiers begin.

  For me, the starlets loss the world cup qualification when we lost against a ten men Senegalese team. Lack of concentration and complacency were our problems. Our inability to do well in the youth level is the cause of failure in the black stars. Gone are the days the black stars feed on the youth teams.

We shall watch the tournament on TV with them Okraku&co must go before Ghana football will wake up.What is needed is a new FA to grow colts football and academies and this requires thinking outside the box.With this present failure what will the fate of the Satellites because they feed directly into the BS,yoooo.

  The ordinary Ghanaian is very corrupt so no matter whom you replaced Okraku with the value will be the same. So let's accept the sad results and move on.
