What is Semenyo and Fatawu also waiting for? Semenyo is useless in Ghana jersey but excellent for his club. He should follow Inaki out. And that overhyped Fatawu must turn down all Black Stars invitation now.

You don’t have to want Jordan in the team, but going to his club’s page to insult him and tell them that signing him was a mistake is pathetic. If that was your brother, would you be happy? Idiots!!

It would have been better if he played for Spain like his brother. He could have received a better outcome since he knows their style of play.

Before the World Cup, I pointed out that certain players should not have been part of the squad, yet that perspective was widely dismissed. The leadership at the Ghana Football Association (GFA) seems disconnected from modern football reality. In interviews, management continuously praises and justifies the inclusion of underperforming players who simply do not contribute at the international level.If this team actually wants to achieve success, the entire approach must change. The squad needs to be built around young, dynamic talents like Nuamah, Kudus, and Semenyo. These are the players who should form the core of the team moving forward, rather than relying on limited, ineffective players who lack the technical quality needed to compete.It remains highly questionable how certain individuals with poor track records or those without active club contracts continue to secure spots in the national team. For instance, Jordan did not manage a single shot on target during the entire tournament—an amateur performance so poor that even a hobby player with zero fitness could have likely achieved a better result. Selecting players who display this level of performance, or who transition to lower-tier leagues right after a major tournament, proves that the current selection process is flawed. We cannot expect better results until the federation stops prioritizing underachieving players over genuine, high-quality talent.

Ayew should be the person to make this announcement of retirement but because of greed and selfishness he doesn't want to give up for the younger players to take the mantle. It is time the GFA does the needful to get rid of him by not inviting him for any black star game. This will frustrate him to retire against his will. With him, the team will continue to suffer. Ayew was used as a striker at Leicester City and his stats showed he was the cause of their relegation and the fans hate him to the core. If GFA is a serious institution they should part ways with this Jordan for the team to flourish.

Those saboteurs who failed to pass the ball to him are happy now.

Instead of releasing balls to him they chose to stick with the ball, dribble and shoot.

He's retiring out of frustration from Kurt and his bandits

Black Star is the team great players go to die, performance-wise. Inaki couldn't replicate his explosiveness when he played for Ghana, scoring only two goals in 28 matches. He saw the handwriting on wall and decided to cut his losses. On the other hand, Nico, his brother, prominently featured for Spain, assisting on the goal that beat Argentine at the 2026 world cup final. Meanwhile, Inaki's departure should be a lesson for players switching allegiance to play for Ghana. Nothing good comes from playing for Ghana.

Inaki is a fantastic player, no doubt. But he could not fit into the unpredictable Black Star system. This negatively affected his impact. There are also a few other more who should retire because they are not bringing positive impacts. Atizigi is a good goalkeeper but his is not making positive impacts and has to go with the likes of Kamaldeen Sulemana who can play 20 matches without a goal or assist. The coaches and GFA officials must be bold to weed out unproductive materials in the national team. Elisha Owusu showed initial promise but he has to be substituted for being unproductive.

His kid brother has won the 2026?World cup: not just a participant, but he contributed to the last goal that won the cup. Do we expect Inaki to be inspired to play with this our selfishness BOGUS team? Moreover, Africans are hierarchical; naturally (not out of envy) his kid brother’s achievements makes him somewhat ‘Okwasea-payin.’ But honestly, the ‘Opayin syndrome’ may never be the issue at all. The main problem must GFA lackadaisical planning, players selfishness and (ough) Carlos defensive madness: which sane striker like Inaki would tolerate such madness? Apuuuuu. Thanks Inaki - excellent decision.

Jordan Ayew should be the player to announce this retirement but because of greed and sense of entitlement to play he is stll hanging on for a call for the afcon qualifiers. The GFA should make the bold decision with the coach not to call him again since he is the most useless striker Ghana has ever taken to a world cup. If they do not take this action our national team will not go anywhere with this useless Ayew.
