  • Say Some 9 years ago

    How come Agyeman Badu was no one of the first 5 players? Who is Frank Acheampong, even the goalkeepers were on target. C'mon how can you miss target??

  • Oman ba kojo 9 years ago

    Say some pls leave f Acheampong alone. The fact that u don't know who frank Acheampong is tells me u don't know much about the game. Penalty shoot out is just like playing lottery. It happens to great n best players in the wo ...

    We Ghanaians will never appreciate anything good. Jordan was called names for missing scoring chances. Now you are saying he should have started sooner. Which is which? If you want to be a coach, go for certification and ...

    AFTER 33 YRS WITHOUT TROPHY. WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO APPRECIATE? EVERYDAY NO BI OURDAY. APPIAH HAS A HORRIBLE GAME RIGHT FROM THE ONSET. SO THE MOST LOGICAL THING FOR GRANT TO HAVE DONE WAS REMOVE HIM AND PLACE ATSU IN THE POC ...

  • The boss 9 years ago

    Very true.
    Grant didn't even know the players.
    Neither did he study them.
    They should have called the big three
    Pride will cost Ghana and it did.
    This was too much of a B team

  • K. Twumasi, Colorado, USA 9 years ago

    Harrison, Saint Ghfuo have no brains to study for soccer certification to coach even pee-wee soccer. His brain is completely fried with weed and anti-depressant drugs.

  • CHAKA, USA. 9 years ago

    Ghfuo, a coach who takes a team to a final and loses on penalties, logically, is next to the best of coaches of the tournament. You didn't want Avram even b4 he got the job. Remember what you wrote on him? "Avram and Jews are ...

  • OSEI TAWIAH 9 years ago

    Sorry Boss, players do not have any choice when it comes to a penalty shoot-out. Gyan was taken out even before the shoot-out. That suggests that the coaches had someone on their mind to replace him during the shoot-out.

  • Egya Armochie Pius, (Virginia,U.S.A) 9 years ago

    In my own opinion, the captain demoralized the entire players by running away from his lads(the same boys a captain is to be behind them and inspire them.) Even if he had decided not to take the penalties because my Ghanaians ...

    From the quarter finals of a tournament any aspiring team should be prepared for PENALTIES. Until the National Team is properly trained for set pieces and we stop changing players around Ghana will not WIN
