Atsu please stop those wild shootings. I personally don't like the way you kept on throwing our chances of scoring away. To me you are one of the worse players. Most of your running were fruitless. You couldn't give a single pass to Gyan to score a goal. You are one of the players that Appiah should have kept on the bench. In the future learn to run purposefully and pass the ball tactically instead of taking those wild shots that were absolutely fruitless.

All these young guys did most of the time was try to go for SELF-GLORY.
By the way, some of them did not even understand what was going on in camp. They just kick ball. Appiah's kind of people.

ATSU YOU'RE A SMART GUY AND VERY RIGHT ABOUT WHAT YOU SAID, BUT YOUR HANDLERS WERE VERY STUPID FOR FIELDING INEXPERIENCE PLAYERS ON THIS STAGE AND LEAVING THOSE WHO FOUGHT HARD FOR GHANA TO QUALIFY AGAINST EGYPT ON THE BENCH . WHY DIDN'T THEY FIELD ESSIEN , BOATING AND CO AS THE STARTERS AND BRING IN SUBSTITUITES AS THE GAME PROGRESSES.MIND YOU , THERE ARE STAGES IN LIFE .THIS WAS A BIG STAGE AFTER FOUR YEARS PREPARATIONS . MOST OF THE PLAYERS WE SELECTED FOR THE US GAME WERE NOT READY FOR THAT MATCH .IN SHORT , THE COACH AND HIS ASSISTANTS DID NOT KNOW WHAT THEY WERE DOING OR OTHERWISE , WERE ENVIOUS OF SOME MEMBERS OF THE GROUP .GHANA NEED AN EXPRIENCED COACH NEXT TIME.FINALLY WE DON'T NEED BEACH FOOTBALLERS TO COME AND DISGRACE THE NATION AGAIN . TOO MANY SOMERSAULTS IN FRONT OF THE GOAL POST IS VERY DANGEROUS AND UNECESSARY AS IT DID COST US A GOAL .SELECT MATURED AND EXPERIENCED PLAYERS IN THE FUTURE .

The love for our black Stars should not cloud our reasoning. When they were agitating for cash did they not know it would be taxed? If they truly didn't know that after years of plying their skills in Europe then it partly explains their poor judgement on the pitch with the USA and Portugal which cost the whole country except them. With their bags now full of the dollars they preferred to the patriotism asked of them they can laugh all the way to ignominy and I Man Ghana couldn't care less. And as for those commentators here supporting the violence of Muntari I can only say they belong to the jungle where might is the same as right. Sometimes I cannot but think that our nation is sick with this mentality of instant justice and celebrating criminal conduct. God save our homeland Ghana!

Ghana need a play maker and Clifford intelligent Aboagye should be groomed to take Ghana to the finish line.
Our defense is full of jokers and we need mature but well built and skillful guys to defend the flag of Ghana.
Our downfall in this world cup was the coach decision to rest experience players and also remove Kwarasey from the post.
Kwarasey is the future and must be trained to gain more confidence to mann the Ghana post.
Next time the coach should not over looked the local players, who are hungry and very discipline to die a little for the Nation.
The likes of Kevin, Sulley and Essien have past their prime and do not also respect authority.
These three players should be given the boot and Andre Ayew should be given the captain arm band.
Asamoah Gyan cannot use his money to influence coach and player selection. Only incompetent coach will allow player selection influence.

Discrimination and abusive are always cause of failure. Shame.!!!!!

The young Atsu is right. We over pamper these players to deity status and this is exactly what happens when human beings are given more recognition than they deserve. I believe the players were wrong in picking their venue for revolt. They should have attacked the officials in GHANA not the world stage to make Ghana a laughing stock. I wish the authorities would have some spine and stand up to the likes of Muntari, Kevin Boateng etc. The annoying part is that they succumbed to the obnoxious Kevin who cleverly avoided all the qualifying matches. He only resurfaced when it was apparent that the Stars were Brazil bound. What a crock of shit. Why they keep recalling Muntari who has a track record of indiscipline back to camp is above me. I am not in any way siding with the inept and pelf seeking officials. It is no secret that de haut en bas of the ruling cabal in Ghana is wickedly corrupt. My concern is Ghana. Ghana is bigger than anybody. If the players are not ready to wear the Red, Gold and Green as true patriots, they should reject invitations to serve. They should remain with their clubs in the diaspora. I think Ghana will be better served with no-names who are willing to die a little for their dear nation. Get rid of these over pompous players. Trust me the kids will not only replace them; they will fare better than them.
THEMEDIA SHOULD ALSO QUIT THE CONSTANT HAGIOGRAPHY OF THE FOOTBALLERS

What did you do in the 3 games you played. You couldnt even get one shot on target. When u had to pass to a colleague in a better position, you shot stupidly wide. DON'T deceive yourself that the World Cup is a given for Ghana; Ghana like any othe Country has to play and qualify again and with such poor performance, teams like Egypt, Ethopia, Zambia, Cape Verde, Burkina Faso, Senegal can and will qualify at our expense. This is the beginning of poor runs for Ghana unless the coach, GFA president and majority of the old players are sacked and the likes of Schulp, Yiadom, Assifua, C.Aboagye, Acheampong, S.Adams, Kwarasey, Afful, Jonathan, Baba Rahman, invited to the team and Silas Tetteh as the Coach with Duncan assisting.

Huge potential but currently inexperienced: weak crossings, almost always to the goalkeeper intsead of our players, hugs the ball for too long --> poor and slow decision making, need to develop more leg strength to effect more powerful crossings. Should have been a sub not a starter yet. His deficiencies are quite similar to Jordan's. Both players will help in a big way in future, but coach, mistakenly, relied on them too soon in their young careers.

At at that wonder- kid,Sperling,on the Enland team,so as to improve his game. Frankly speaking,I believe he is capable of doing far more than he put out in all the three games he played. Then also, I think he should lay off the "Oyibo" groupes he has been hanging around with,or else he might find himself hawking pure water once again on the streets of Accra! He should keep queit and focus on his on-field performance rather than trying hard to ingratiate himself with Coach Kwasi Appiah,who put a lot of confidence in him,but he flopped miserably.

And they should both not get away with it. We need a public commission to dig into what happened.

Kevin Prince Boateng has called the entire Black Stars World Cup campaign in Brazil "amateurish" in his first full interview since being sent home from the tournament.

In a no holds barred interview with German news outlet Bild,Boateng revealed the circumstances that led to the deterioration of order in the Black Stars camp and also denied ever being rude to Kwasi Appiah.

"I am very, very disappointed. It just wasn’t a good time.

The nightmare lasted from the first day of the preparations until the very end.

I would never have thought that the preparations and the World Cup itself could be so badly organized. The hotels, the flights – everything was amateurish.

We flew from our first training camp in Amsterdam to Miami. But we flew in two groups, because apparently there wasn’t enough space for all of us. One group went via Atlanta, the other one via New York. We sat at the airport for nine hours and the whole trip was 19 hours. And…

The flight from Miami to Brazil a week later was 12 hours. We flew economy class, all cramped. The legs hurt. It may sound weird for normal people, but for professional sportsmen it’s an impertinence.

Our president [GFA president], his wife and his two kids sat in business class on the same flight. In Brazil we finally got a chartered flight. But then the officials managed to lose my luggage somehow. I didn’t have my football boots for some days, no tapes, nothing. It was disastrous.

The only hotel were we could really prepare in was the one in Miami. We moved in there after we complained because the players didn’t want to stay at the other one.

Boateng also told Bild the team's accommodation before the 2-1 loss to USA was less than satisfactory.

"Before the first WC game against USA we slept at a hotel, I call it a fleabag, which was definitely not recommended by FIFA. There was a severe water damage, the rooms were wet. I had to change rooms, my room had turned into a private swimming-pool because of the water dripping from the ceiling. "

The Schalke star also laid into coach Kwesi Appiah,revealing he had been led to believe he would have a starring role with the team and was surprised to sit out Ghana's opening game.

"Very surprised. It was him who kept talking about me as the leader and who had declared his confidence in me. I have never had a problem with him and I have always behaved positively. But if somebody asked me whether he is a good coach… No.

No. But I respect him as a person, like I respect everyone. I have always accepted and respected all decision that he made. I’m just wondering why he begged me to play for Ghana when I was still at AC Milan. Then I make a comeback and suddenly I’m not playing anymore. The president was at one of these talks as well. He gave me his word that we were going to have better travel, better organization and better preparation. He didn’t keep the promise. In the end I was just dissatisfied.

On the issue of bonuses which sparked an international media frenzy,Boateng said it was the least of the team's problems during the World Cup.

"No. That has become part of it and it’s nearly normal. That was the smallest problem. But everything kept stacking up over the whole month. It was catastrophic. The practice conditions, sleeping conditions, everything. I just wonder where all the money goes.

The GFA makes so much money from sponsors, through FIFA. And it’s certainly not spent on hotels, flights, the squad and the preparations. "

Boateng also spoke of the poor team spirit that existed among the playing" bodies and accused some of his team mates of being hypocrites.

"No. It wasn’t a real team. Everyone was occupied with himself, everyone was talking bad about each other. There were two or three players who were happy about Sulley Muntari’s and my suspension. And those players exactly had told me that I was right about everything. Everyone knows that I have never insulted the coach. But they spoke against Sulley and me in front of him.

But still, the GFA released a statement saying that you have insulted the coach. People started saying that Boateng couldn’t control himself once again.

I don’t care about that at all. I’m very relaxed because I know for a fact that I have not done anything like that. "

No human being is perfect. But again: No. I have just stated my opinion. There was no player who was happy. We had a perceived 100 meetings with the delegation. We told them that there are countless things that need to be changed. That’s why I’m an easy prey. "

Boateng also said he was an easy scape goat to have because he always spoke his mind on issues and this did not go down well with officials whilst also explaining his side of the story in the incident that led to him being kicked out.

"Because I said to their faces that they are liars who permanently make promises that they never keep. We were lied to constantly.

Like I have said before: Sulley and I were joking around at practice. The coach stopped, we said everything was OK. Suddenly I had to go to the locker room. Later I asked the coach whether he had something against me. He shouted at me and insulted me, for example by saying “Fuck off”. Due to the rush there was a mix-up with dates. The incident happened four days before my suspension.

If I had insulted the coach back then, why was I suspended much later on Thursday?

"On Wednesday there was another meeting with the delegation. That’s when I told the officials that they were lying to us, that they were making hollow promises. Four days after the incident at practice and a day after the meeting I found a white piece of paper under my door, saying I was suspended. I think everyone knows the reason. The president just turned the tables.

There’s no need to. They have basically thrown me out. I love the country and the people. But under circumstances like this it’s hard for any sportsman to carry on. I will go on holidays right now and I’ll return to Schalke with full force in mid-July. I’ll take it from there."

The problem is Ghana's defence, which is terribly uncoordinated. The players there get very nervous in the presence of opponents' attacks. Something really has to be done in this area.

I NEVER supported KPB's callup to the national team and I still stand by that. He is just like those he is accusing - building on the backs of those who fought hard to qualify Ghana for the World Cup. I always said this guy is an opportunist and this is showing now as to how he expected to be treated differently from other players. He is an average player, not world-class, and his ego is overblown. His best days are over. Period!!!!
He should never be called to the BS again. We have far more talented, younger and dedicated players like CLIFFORD ABOAGYE who will easily fit into the national team. Let's move forward with a revamping of the GFA,but moreso move forward in rebuilding the BS without this jackass of a player, KPB...
