He does not need good grammar to express himself. Our so called leaders have disappointed us. When the history of Ghana is re-written, the final chapter would be, "they had gold, diamond, silver, cocoa, oil etc but the country was one of the poorest in the world because their leaders were stupidly CORRUPT" Because they have failed, they try to take credit for the sweat of these kids who always put the collective interest of the people above their own.

This minister is funny and very presumptuous. Some taint of misplaced arrogance, "I told them I want the trophy". No mention of the nation as the deserved beneficiary of any glories but HIM.With mind sets like these, we are doomed. Greedy, selfish and vainglorious individuals appointed to positions of power with no moral compass or moral rectitude.

This is the type of cups we keep wining. This is not what we want. Age Competitions in Africa is 'something else' and they dont concern me

Even mighty Brazil has been caught cheating in age competitions.This are the very competitions that once produced great players like, Sulley Muntari, John Mensah, Michael Essien, Stephen Appiah and others, but today because they are caught up old age and because we have no quality replacement our national team is struggling, so shut up and stop the propaganda.

Even though this group of players has done well by reaching the finals of the ongoing African Under 20 championship,there is still more room for improvement if they are to do well in the tournament proper, the world cup.Personally, the bright spots in the team, one, the goalkeeper and two their striker who has the potential to become top stars in the near future.
Manager, Sellas Tetteh has done well, but then need to include in the team about five top players playing in Europe to beef up the team with experience, like the Espanyol player Quaye and some four others.

STOP this nonsense and allow the boys to play their normal game. If they win, thanks to God, if they don't win, we shall still congratulate them for participating and doing well! This slogan of "we need the cup, we need the cup," puts pressure on the players and they miss the point!

Ghanaians expected Elvis Afriyie Ankrah and his NDC to give us water, electricity, good schools,good roads hospitals and provide us safety. Instead what do we see total darkness, corruption, unhealthy environment and armed robbery. Instead he is tellin us he expects nothing but the coveted African Youth Championship trophy from the Black Satellites in their crucial final game against favorites Egypt.

It is only Ghanaians who will listen to such stupid talks without working or investing wisely to achieve results

Afriyie, get off the backs of the boys. Let them play their game and if they win, they win. Don't put undue pressure on these poor youngsters going into this important match. What counts is in the world cup, where these youngsters will be groomed to replace some of the old Black Star players who are now underperforming.

All Ghana great senior teams have always been the product of the Satellite teams which mature more quickly to feature in important matches for the senior side. The 2001 team made of Essien, Paintsil, John Mensah and the 2009 team made of Andree Ayew, Thomas Inkoom are all good examples to this important under-21 world cup. The Nigerian Sports Ministry didn't put any pressure on their team which helped them win the 2013 African Cup, a cup Ghana will easily trade their 2009 undewr-21 African and world Youth Cup for.

Go Satellites go!

Let us win the trophy and go on to win the U20 World Cup.

Sellas and his backroom staff should plot the route to victory over the Egyptians, whom we played in the group phase.
