56 percent possession, 18 shots on net etc. The stats show that Black Stars have quality. There were no administrative problems and no uncouth behaviour. The Stars restored our pride as Ghanaians - a nation of vast and deep soccer talent. The future looks bright with so much young talent. Bravo to Ivory Coast. Soccer smiled on them today. Stars have much to be proud about. Great job guys!!

Every country in Africa says they want God to help them win. Therefore, which team would God have favoured? None of them. God has more important things to attend to.
We lost because of the strategic incompetence of our coach. At some point in extra time the coach had to make an effort to keep players who can take penalties on the field to the end of the game. Therefore, why were Asamoah Gyan and Atsu substituted out? And why were those two inexperienced players kicking before Andre Ayew?
I think some of you believe that we did well by reaching the finals. Hell, what is the difference between Ghana and any other African team that was not in the finals? Ghana is not any better. We all don't have any trophy to show for our efforts! Only Ivory Coast has!! What a shame!!! Another chasing after the wind!!!!
If Ghana was better than Ivory Coast, then where is our trophy?

I can't agree more with you.I am not discounting the fact that our lads gave their all and that even though they suffered such a painful defeat Ghaians should appreciate theur effort and welcome them as heros.However, I strongly disagree with the coach that ee were better than the Ivoriabs. Wereit so, where is the cup ? The better side won the cup.What counts is the number of times the ball enters your opponents net.Mr Grant so great is the resprct and admiration I have for you but I must say you goofed on this one.The cup is in The Ivory Coast rather than in Ghana as a result of numerous tactical blunders comottef by the technical team.It was obvious. Asamoa Gyan was not
fully fit.why start him and keep him till the ono hundred and nineteenth minute ? What was Gyan doing that late in the Match against Guinea and why did he have to go after a disoriented team down by two goals for more goals in the dying minutes of the game ? Appia contributed greatly to our success in this tournament.Yestetday was just not his day; what were players like Ottoo and others doing on the bench? Why didn't let Andrea Ayew and Agyeman Badu shoot the penalties ahead. Of acheampong snd Acquah ?

Yes tne boys played better,yes the future is great,yes we are better than Ivory Coast,the whole world know Ivory Coast won by sheer LUCK.But here is my question,even though the coach is very new but as a proffessinal WHY couldint he pick or at least train 5 reliable players who should not miss knowing our history in penalty kicks.Yes I know some good players lose penalties but to throw away two says a lot about any coach.I do not for once blame the boys,the whole blame lies with Avram Grant,if you as a coach cannot select 5 good penalty shooters then GHANA should get rid of him why are we paying him so much when is did not deliver.The truth is what we saw was just the sheer hard work and dedications from our boys who played hard for their country not because the coach trained them he did not.If he did the is no way we should have lost two penlty kicks in a role.KOJO NYANTAKYI please resign and take your coach with you you are all bad luck ask yourself what has Ghana achieve his you became GFA head?The asnwer is zero.We need players like Sule Muntari and Kevin back in the national team,players like them scores penalties

They are now tactically more aware and better organised. He managed to do this in three weeks. The players like him and played for him. They refused to go that for KA for known reasons. You cannot blame the coach, if anything, he deserves massive applause for what he has achieved with the team in a few weeks. Coach is not to blame, he could not force Djan to take a penalty. He will win us the cup, leave him alone

No sorry, we do not need Muntari, his disruptive influence will harm the team more than help it. We had Muntari, Essien and KPB since whenever and never won anything so why will he make a sudden difference now? Muntari, KPB and Essien were the ones leading the Ayews astray. Now that they are not there, Dede can focus on football not politics. Dede used to try to undermine Gyan to take the captaincy from him, but this tournament, when he scored against Eq. Guinea, he ran to the bench to go and hug Gyan who was out due to injury (I think it was Eq. Guinea)...... look at this tournament, it has passed without controversy, this would not have been the case if those 3 were part of the team. Lets move on and work on the future, Baba Rahman, Kwesi Appiah, Wakaso and co. Forget Muntari..... he has done his bit for Ghana, we must now move forward, allow him to concentrate on his club career and make his money - he will watch the boys lift the trophy without him.

Luck won it for Ivory Coast, not their performance. With all the so called big names, our young Ghanaian team showed them up. They were out thought and outplayed in every department of the game. The only thing the Stars did wrong was not to have put them under sustained pressure in the second half. They are an old and tired team. Our team is young, vibrant, talented and brave. Why we attacked only in spurts I will never understand. We let them off the hook. Ghana would have scored at least one goal has we put the pressure on. Bad mistake. Avram grant has definitely brought tactical discipline to the team, he is obviously a very good coach. His only mistake is that he forgot that the same country beat us on penalties in the final in 98, he also list the Champions League finals to Manchester Utd again on penalties in 2008 as Chelsea. One would have thought these would have made both manager and team refrain from ever wanting the game to go to penalties. Hope he has learned his lesson. He can win the CAN with this team no doubt. Let's plan for CAN 2017. Bright future for the Stars. Congratulations for having made Ghana proud.

The boys did their best,the coach failed them and the GFA failed them here is why.Ghana is the most blessed nation and when it comes to football we are more blessed because we have too many talents in players,we are the only country in Africa who can create 3 or four national teams at the same time because of good players.Yet due to some stupid admistration some good quality players are left out and an old washed out coach is selected as a coach,nothing personal with appointing an old coach but it is the way and manner he cannot select 5 players who can really score a penalty.Secondly he should know our history in shootout and train 5 good kickers of spotkick,yes Grant fail us and Nyantakyi should just go away,tell me how can one explain how Afriyie and Acheampong lost their spot kick if they had had constant practice?That is why Grant should just go we do not them,finally I call on all Ghanaians to feel happy because we are the BEST the world know Ivorians won by luck,they were outplayed by our boys,they are nothing but OVERRATED ELEPHANTS

EVERYTHING GH DID WAS WRONG AND LED TO THIS LOSS. NO AGGRESSION, PLAYING LIKE THEY HAVE ARRIVED, NOT PRESSURING IVORY COAST, APPIAH WAS TRASH AND STILL GRANT LEFT HIM IN THE GAME. WHY NOT BRING IN JORDAN/ACHEAMPONG TO PLAY THE WINGS, USE ATSU IN THE 8? THIS IS WHY THE GAME WENT TO OVER TIME AND PENALTIES. SIMPLY BECOS OF THESE SILLY MISTAKES. BY THE TIME JORDAN AND ACHEAMPONG CAME ON. IT WAS TOO LATE. JORDAN CANT OPERATE AS AN EFFECTIVE MIDFIELDER AGAINST UPPER CLASS TEAMS BCOS THE EXPERIENCE IS NOT THERE. THIS IS WHERE MUNTARI/ATSU WOULD HAVE SHOWED CLASS. PUT JORDAN ON THE RIGHT WING AND GIVE HIM ROOM TO OPERATE. GH FANS GO AND TAKE STOMACH MEDICINE AND GO BED, WAI..GRANT IS CURSED. HE IS TOO STUPID TO WIN ANY FINAL. HOW MANY FINALS HAS HE LOST AS COACH?? WHAT DID HE SEE IN APPIAH TO LET HIM CONTINUE IN THIS GAME? IF YOU GO TO FIGHT/WAR AND REALISE YOUR TRIGGER IS FAULTY. WILL YOU CONTINUE WITH THE SAME GUN OR CHANGE? CHANGE?! EBEI, GRANT! APPIAH WAS CONTINUALLY MAKING TERRIBLE MISTAKES? HE CLAIM BRIBE OR WAT? VERY DISAPPOINTED IN APPIAH. LOOK, FOOLS MUST LOSE. THIS IS GOD’S UNWRITTEN RULE. GH IS BUYING ELECTRIC POWER FROM ICOAST. SO IF YOU WERE THE TROPHY. WHERE WILL YOU DESIRE TO GO? WOP3 DUMSOR? Muahahaaaaaaaaa THIS GAME SHOULD HAVE BEEN WON BEFORE DURATION TIME. GH WAS SIMPLY FLAT AND NON AGGRESSIVE UNTIL THE 65TH MINUTE. GH SIMPLY THREW THIS GAME AWAY. WE DIDNT LOSE, WE SIMPLY THREW THE GAME AWAY. GET RID OF GRANT. WE ARE ORDAINED TO NEVER WIN ANY TROPHIES WITH A WHITE/NON GH COACH. LET KONADU TAKE OVER UNTIL DESAILLY IS READY. AS FOR NYANTAKYI, HE BETTER PACK UP AND GO. HE IS ALSO CURSED. HIS CONTINUED RANTS AFTER THE EQ. GUINEA GAME TO BBC ETC UPSET HAYATOU AND DATS WHY THE REF WAS AGAINST GH IN THE FINAL. NYANTAKYI HAS OVERSTAYED HIS WELCOME AND IT IS TIME FOR HIM TO LEAVE. NEXT TIME, WE MUST SHOW DETERMINATION, RESILIENCE, PLAY WITH AGGRESSION AND CONVICTION RIGHT FROM THE START TILL THE END. FIND OUT WAT THESE WORDS MEAN IN THE DICK-TIONARY. YOU NEED TO SHOW YOUR OPPONENTS RIGHT FROM WHEN THE GUN GO OFF THAT LISTEN, THIS IS MINE! WHAT DID WE DO INSTEAD? WE PLAYED AIMLESSLY, RIGID, PASSIVE, UNBELIEF, NON FREE-FLOWING SOCCER. GO AND TALK TO A GIRL ACTING LIKE THIS AND SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN?. MASSA, U HAVE TO BE FUCKING AGGRESSIVE! COACH GRANT, WHEN YOU SEE A MISTAKE, NIP IT IN THE BUTT ASAP! WHY GRANT REFUSED TO SUB APPIAH, ALLOW ATSU TO OPERATE IN MIDFIELD/8 AND BRING IN EITHER ACHEAMPONG/JORDAN TO OPERATE ON THE RIGHT FLANKS BEATS MY SIMPLE MIND. GRANT HAS SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN THAT HE DOES NOT POSSESS THE GRIT AND GUMBTION TO WIN ON THE BIG STAGE. I BELIEVE THIS GUDE IS CURSED, PERIOD. GET RID OF HIM. LIKE I SAID BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT. GYAN HAS FLOPPED IN ALL AFCON APPEARANCES XCEPT 1, ANGOLA. IN THE LAST 4 AFCONS, GYAN HAS SCORED 1 GOAL IN EACH, INCLUDING THIS ONE. ITS TIME TO LET GYAN GO. I WOULD RATHER GET KNOCKED OUT IN THE GROUP STAGES THAN TO COME THIS FAR AND LOSE. I STOPPED WATCHING AFTER EXTRA TIME. PENALTIES IS LIKE COIN TOSS. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. TAKE CONTROL AND KILL THIS THING BEFORE 90MINUTES, YOU FAILED TO LISTEN! HOW MANY TIMES U SEEN BRAZIL GO TO OVERTIME? HW3, IF YOU HEED TO WHAT I WRITE HERE AT LEAST 50% O OF THE TIME. GH WILL ALWAYS WIN, BUT YOU DONT. GOING BACK TO MY POSTS BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT. SO DO YOU THINK THE INCLUSION OF PLAYERS LIKE ANTWI, MUNTARI, ESSIEN, YIADOM, KWARASAY, ADAMS, SALIFU, MENSAH IN PORTUGAL, ADOMAH, SCHLUPP, ADUSEI, WOULD HAVE WON GH THE TROPHY? YES, I DO.

Gh Fuo, your assessment is too harsh and also flawed!!
You are the one always insulting Jordan here (along with me), today you say they should have brought him on and dropped Appiah! As they say, hindsight is a wonderful thing!! Because the match is over, you can say what you want!
Yes, Jordan played well when he came on, but personally, Appiah was good as well!!
You talk as if we didnt play the ball some! We hit bar TWICE in the first half. Over the 120 minutes, we OUTPLAYED Cote d'Ivoire, we were just not lucky to take our chances!
Gyan is the reason we got to the final!! If he hadn't scored that last minute against Algeria, we would have gone out in group stages!! You want Muntari, Essien and KPB??????? These players are the OLG GUARD!! On their way OUT!! With Baba Rahman, Kwesi Appiah and Wakaso, we can start building for the future!!!! Bringing Muntari and KPB for short term Glory will not take us far!
You say you will rather lose at group stage than here? Look at the way you are insulting Avram.......... now imagine if he had lost at group stage, it would be much worse from you and every other Ghanaian!!
You want a local coach, but you did not support AA. The fact is you DO NOT want a local coach, you only want SPECIFIC people, i.e. Desailly. If Desailly does not get it, you will continue to insult any other person who gets it. This means you are NEVER going to be satisfied because Desailly is never going to get the job, because he doesnt even want to coach. He prefers to do his tv work and get his easy money, than coaching where people will insult you if you get things wrong! Tv money is easy......... you just sit there and talk........... even if they ask you yo predict a score and you get it wrong, people just laugh at you, no one insults you. Desailly is working with DSTV, ITV and other European channels getting good money, why should he turn to coaching? Someone who is really interested in coaching will be coaching smaller teams by now from the time he retired. Stop calling for Desailly, he is not interested!!
Kwesi Appia is a good player. He understands the game and makes intelligent runs and passes. I had seen him playing for Cambridge and I was not sure if he was Black Star material, but in this tournament, he has shown he belongs in the team. People like you have already started insulting him after just one tournament! If he is not strong he will get scared and stop playing for us. This is why Kwarasey didnt come for this tournament. You Gh Fuo and other ghanaians like to be treated like dirt! That is why you go and beg KPB when he treats you like Ashawo, but you will insult Appiah who is clearly delighted to be playing for Black Stars. Instead of encouraging and welcoming him so he can feel at home, you have decided to start insulting him.
FINAL NOTE - you have to understand there MUST be a winner and there MUST be a loser. Why do you think you are entitled to win everytime?

My assessment is on point. I compiled.it from the start of the game until the end, not after. I'm a fan a jordan. I simply said he wasn't aggressive on the field and needed to be utilized on the right wing. Appiah was a liability from the beginning until he was finally subbed. His lack of experience for top notch games was clear. I saw this immediately. Appiah couldn't feed passes to dede or gyan. Appiah couldn't dribble or get past bailly and die serey. Appiah couldn't win tackles. He was losing balls. He was so much of a liability. Wakasso had to draw back to partner acquah in midfield and allow dede to operate the wing. With the hope that wakasso will feed appiah for him to feed gyan or dede. That also.didn't work and yet grant sat there and didn't sub him. WHY? Teabofre is not working,.so change the gun! We outplayed them after the 65th minute or.so, but the ball possession was almost equal after halftime. Yes, I want some of the veteran players back. How did the ivorians veteran players help their team? I will tell you this. Muntari could have been more effective in the 8pocket and acquah would have tauht acquah so much more as a 6. Gh didn't have these veterans so who will jordan, appiah and acquah learn from? Experience is like gold. It takes time to mine and melt! I would have liked we got booted out in the group stages. Than to lose in the final. Ah, aa wqs trash so why are you supposed I didn't Favour him. U fool ooo. We have konadu, Tetteh, and desailly. Let Konadu take over the team. Our problem is discipline. Kwasia, desailly will get more money if he coaches and succeeds. If he is a tv analyst and is spot on with his analysis and predictions. What makes younthink he won't be a good coach? U fool oo. Appiah is good, but not ready for prime time, big time soccer and dats why crystal Palace sent him on loan. Appiah is like a colts player who is really good. Let him play 2nd or 3rd division and he will flop. That's what happened with appiah versus ivory Coast. He saw kolo and yaya toure, boney and other epl players whom he never dreamed of playing against and he panicked. He is still a juvenile player in all regards, basic. He is not a a premier league or division 1 player. He may have flashes of brilliance in a game or two but he does not know how to be consistent in top level competition. Chale, this is africa. The quality of the African game, players are weak! Agogo came from Nottingham forest to increase his price tag at afcon. When he finally met opposition with quality players from Cameroon, he disappeared! Same thing with kwasi appiah! I haven't insulted appiah you fool. All I said was he had a terrible final and grant should have known better and subbed him after the 35th minutes or so. Where did I insult kwasi appiah? For the record, I was never a fan of kpb.

Do something commendable with your life and you'll perhaps leave the bitterness alone and not insult anyone any longer. The black stars did well and that is that!

but that didn't happened because substituting the 2 strikers who were the only 2 players who didn't come to the penalty, means a strong possibility for mahatma to be on the pitch and maxwell konadu won't like that.

Gh Fuo, thank you! If Gyan takes penalty and misses, they will insult him. When he decides not to take penalty, they will insult him. All these people calling for him to be stripped of the captaincy are just Dede fanbois who want Andre to be captain. Andre tried to undermine Gyan in previous competitions, but this competition you can see him and Gyan have formed a new relationship, which is very good!
When Gyan didn't play in the first match against Senegal, people were saying Ghana lacked leadership on the pitch, now these same people are saying crucify Gyan.
As Osei Taiwa said in a previous post,
the guy had malaria and missed the first match, he played the second even though he was unfit and saved our ass. He played the third game and got injured, missed the 4th game, and played the 5th to the end, and people still want more. Call Gyan to play Black Stars and he will run and attend. Call KPB or Essien to play Black Stars and they will ask you what competition you are playing. If it is World cup they will come. African cup, No!

Roy Keane, Patrick Viera, Brian Robson, these are examples of proper captains. Guts, bravery, the will to anything and everything for their team. Andre would have stepped up if he were the captain. He is young but as brave as hell. That is what we need, if Djan is not ready to die for his team, there is no point him being our captain then. He played in England for a couple of years, he should know the characteristics needed for the role. The GFA and Grant need to have a word with him. He cannot continue like this.

So Avran Grant could not not do away with the jinx surrounding foreign coaches not winning cups for Ghana. Hmm then Ghana is in for trouble. I believed Avran could do it and everything thing was going on smoothly for him but what happened? The Almighty God is a jealous God. When things are going on well for you you do not attribute your success to your shirt. Instead of giving glory to your maker you attributed it to your shirt and that what will be the end result. A football fan forwarned of the consequence when Avran came out to say that it was because of his shirt that Ghana is winning. Brazil did the same thing during the World cup and they paid dearly for it. How could they all worship Neema's jersey when their national anthem was being played as if Neema was their god. God the maker punished then well well for that. Truly God is a jealous God.
A similar thing has happened to Avram and he could not even think of changing the order of those who were taking the penalties when he needed just a single good penalty taker to end the game.
Next time give glory to God and not your shirt.

Ridiculous coaching strategy. Lady Adjoah, I feel your pain. Heaven and Hell shall pass away but the trauma of this game shall never pass away. The players and the coach can now collect their bonuses but the crestfallen Ghanaian soccer fans cannot understand the meaninglessness of the strategy.
A coach of the Ivory Coast team had a game plan right from the start of the game. They played defensively and sometimes negatively. All the previous Ivorian games at the AFCON final matches always go to the penalty shootout. Before this game they won one and lost the rest. This time they won again against Ghana.
We want a coach who will take us to the Red Sea and cross the Red Sea without drowning; a coach who will not lose the last battle of an otherwise great tournament; a coach who will read the game in real time and make game-changing corrections.
When the penalty shootout score was 2--0 in favour of Ghana, Grant and Gerald or Konadu should have sent the best available penalty shooter to close the game. That player was right there in the incarnation of Andre Ayew. So what is all these about? Was it too hard to put the penalty shooters in strategic order? Why , why and why? A coach cannot rely always on luck but must put some strategy into action to save the Ghanaian soccer fans from trauma.

I am mystified as to why two inexperienced players were sent on for the third and fourth penalties when the Ayew brothers and Harrison Afful were available. Surely, at 2-0 up we just had to score two more penalties to win, and this would have been achieved with our more experienced and best penalty takers.
Avram Grant and the coaching staff missed a trick here. The question is are you allowed to change the order of penalty takers in a penalty shootout?

Writing an exam is NOT the same, because with an exam, there is a set mark.........everybody who passes that mark is a winner. Football cannot have 2 winners. One must win, the other must draw. Cote divoire is not better than Ghana otherwise they would have beaten us in open play. You yourself Gh fuo say that penalties is like a coin toss..... therefore if it is like a coin toss, then it depends on your luck whether its heads or tails.

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 would not spare him if he misses, he could have stayed on the pitch to give them the morales needed at that anxious moment. When David brought down Goliath, all of Goliath's soldiers ran away in a panic mode because there was no one to lead them. It would have been better if Asamoah Gyan was not fielded in today's match. I know someone will say Gervinho did the same but Ivory Coast won the penalties. If you are the one, I will tell you that, Gyan is a CAPTAIN unlike Gervinho. A captain's role is fuel injector, motivator, being able to move your anxious and fearful players to the next level to do the unthinkable. They should not be deserted, abandoned or forsaken by their own captain. At this point, I think the Black Stars need a warlike Captain or leader like Shaka Zulu(s) of this world, to forge ahead when it appears there is no hope.
This is also a lesson to us Ghanaians who do not know how to forgive and forget. Look, keeper Barry is known to the Ivorians as the weakest link, as far as manning the post is concerned. I know if their first choice goalie was not on the injury list, he wasn't going to be given that chance. Here we are now, the stone rejected has now become the cornerstone, the hero and the savior for the Elephants. Where were Prince, and Muntari? What could their presence have made? Were we going to wail and cry blood now if these boys were totally forgiven and allowed into this team, especially in the final match of this magnitude, where keeper Barry could have been scored by Muntari even from the center circle. When are my Ghanaians going to learn from our simple mistakes which bring us more losses, more pains and continue to make us the sleeping giants of Mother Africa. May we all be comforted and minds be renewed to learn to forgive and forget, so that Black Stars will have all the best players back into the team and by so doing, you and I will smile and celebrate our win in 2017, Amen-oo-oo.

In 92,2010 and 2015 we lost all the penalty shoot outs,our goal keepers could not save even one ball.Apart from 1982 where Owusu Mensah was able to save some penalties in Libya for the Stars to win the Cup nobody is able to save any penalty again until now.This is the weakness of the team and something must be done about it.We also miss the chances to score when it comes to penalty shoot outs but the technical bench don't seem to identify this problem.It is also not different when it comes to corner and free kicks,we throw all of them away.I think it's about time we correct this mistakes otherwise we can't go forward.Thank you.

Please note that to win Afcon again, Ghana must be prepared to beat the best, no excuses. There is no point qualifying every 2 years and have no cup for 33 years. The Ivorians were beatable but Your strikers were too afraid to take them on. Gyan was a shadow of himself whilst the Abedi Ayew brothers were after revenge and self glory.I think the better side were the Ivorians and they won the cup. Nobody is interested who came 2nd or third or 'we tried'. Period

Deliberately missed the penalties as it all looked like Senegal 92 deja vue.Nyantakyi has done enough as a football administrator to equal Egypt's enviable record of seven wins.Two finals and two semifinal exits at afcon with three consecutive world cup participations is unmatched by any other football administrator.Despite these achievements, I get the feeling someone wants him out and is conniving with players to do it.I find it impossible to prove a penalty miss was deliberate beyond reasonable doubt because of the heavy emotional load on the taker at that moment when it was taken.In the 2010 quarter final encounter our then coach Rajevac was so silently peeved at his players that he refused to sign a contract extension.Avram Grant must feel the same way I am sure.Welcome to Ghana,the best African soccer nation off record.How do you resolve this treacherous behavior and save Ghanaian fans repeated heartbreaks? Stevanovic a prior Serb coach set out to root this out after similar experience but was prematurely snuffed out!Ghanaian players seem to have lost the desire for glory and would rather trade it for money which gratifies their instant needs but leaves no record for future generations to be proud of.

My advice is that believe in yourselves and win matches in the 90 minutes. If U had kept the ball on the ground and made up with speed and man-to-man passes, U would have beaten this Ivory Coast team. They were just ordinary even with all their big names. Baba Rahman, Harrison Afful, Jonathan Mensah, John Boye... U were great.!!!!!!!

When you look back at the Black Stars matches of old, we were always on the receiving end, with pressure upon pressure on us. For the first time in a long time, watching the Black Stars'matches in this tournament really put me at ease. The balance in the team was superb especially the mid field and attack. By 2018 Ghana would parade a fearsome midfield similar to the Appiah-Sully and Essien of the 2006 world cup in Germany. Let's hope Afriyie, Wakasu, Dede Ayew and Atsu mature into the real Blackstars thatwe have all been praying for.

Nothing will be won under the Killer Rawlings Party and Govenment.....

Is Dr. Liman second name Rawlings? Or are you given Joe right.

Appiah should hav been subbed,long time.
Also Gyan wasnt himself and should have been changed as well.
All the same,all of you did very well
but that didn't happened because substituting the 2 strikers who were the only 2 players who didn't come to the penalty, means a strong possibility for mahatma to be on the pitch and maxwell konadu won't like that.
It was a tactically goofy strategy to make those changes at the last minute and then send the 2 rookies for the top 5 of the penalty shoot-out.

I am extreme proud of the black star. Apart from Gyan whom I suspect was not fully recovered and thus could not give us his all, there was no problem.
Next time the stars should not try to sit on their momentum for penalt ...

Asamoah Gyan was a drag on this game. A striker who first in the game was at the 20mins. And who kept walking is not to be in the game. It's no coincidence he had no shots on goals

Why dont you just be happy for Ghana instead of using Isrealites that is a very low blow to the good work Blacks Stars did to Ghana.Be proud to be a Ghanaian please love Ghana
Congratulations, Shining Black Stars.. You did us proud when no-one believed you would succeed. In a long time, I have never seen a Black Stars team with such a SOLID DEFENCE and MIDFIELD like U guys. You were outstanding.

The coach should have used Jordan instead of Kwesi Appiah. The was virtually useless.
Secondly, the coach should have allowed Atsu to participate in the penalties.
WHY INSULTING AVRAM AND OTHERS WHO ARE LESS CONCERN ABOUT PANALTIES.ANYONE WHO UNDERSTANDS PANALTIES UNDERSTNDS FOOTBALL.TRY TO RESPECT THE PERFORMANCES OF THE PLAYERS, IF THEY WERE TO PLAY IN BRAZIL WORLD CUP,THEY WERE GOOD. ...

Great performance by all standard. Good luck another time.
It's never a question of who was better but rather who attained victory. Quit making excuses and prepare for the next challenge, for a team, no matter how good, can never win all games that it plays.
I COULD NOT HELP IT. I THUGHT WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO SPOTTED IT. OUR BOYS ARE BETTER THAN THE IVORIANS.I AM AMZAED ABOUT THE TACTICAL DISCILINE. NO DEFENSIVE BLUNDERS AND GIVE AWAY CHEAP GOALS.CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE CAN'T ASK FOR ANY THING BETTER THAN WHAT YOU HAD OFFERED .IT IS ONLY LUCK THAT ELUDED US .
A lot of fans of the Black Stars in Ghana and around the world over will agree with you 100% and more sir, that the better side lost the match. The Black Stars have shown that big names do not win matches on their own. Teams ...
