You lost due to stupid penalty kicks decisions,which I lay squarely and roundly on the coach,the question is why even though he is very new,couldint he least train 5 players who should take sports kick and should not to miss?I believe any serious coach or his assistant could do this,just look at the way this boys poorly kick the ball,it tells us something is very wrong.I know even top players lose penalty kicks but two in a role says a lot.Left to me GHANA should go coach seaching.Finally BOYS you did very great you outplayed the so call top footballers which to me I knew long time ago that the Ivorians are overrated,you are simply the BEST IN AFRICA

Dede we cried with you and cried for all you lads for the same reason. Chin up son and hold your heads high up. Y ou made us proud. Our national anthem says we must be bold, strong and great, to be fearless and to be cheerless which is to say we dont rest on our best. The whole world is asking that question when so am sure they will be watching the next episode. Kuffour cried for bayern and the next two years after he was a champ. Football creates its own stories. Am sure you will complete your part of the story sooner. Well done all team blackstars once again. Good posting ghfuo

why did he pushed fro the substitution of atsu? why didn't he recommend harrison to be part of the first five?
is maxwell konadu saying he doesn't know the prowess of mahatma? why was he bent on ensuring acheampong or badu instead get playing time? if you are substituting djan why don't you bring on mahatma instead of badu?

BLAME OUR LOSS ON AFRIYIE ACQUAH, AND FRANK ACHEAMPONG, BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONES WHO MISFIRED AND PUT IVORY COAST IN THE GAME. ACQUAH AT LEAST MADE AN EFFORT TO SCORE, BUT IT SEEMS ACHEAMPONG WAS JUST OFF MARK AND USELESS IN TAKING THAT PENALTY SHOT. THE BLACK STARS PLAYED VERY WELL, AND WITH THIS SAME ATTITUDE THEY WILL DEFINITELY GO PLACES. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP ANDRE AYEW!!!! YOU DID YOUR BEST, AND YOU ARE A WINNER IN MY HEART. ALLAH BLESS YOU.

I do not think it has anything to do with the coach. The players have just matured. If anything, Appiah deserves credit for bringing on Wakaso, Afriyie and Atsu into the scene.

Hi folks and contributors in this forum you have raised very important issues but the real missing link is this. After singing and and praising God through ‘jama’ you have to come clean on the field to rely on Him only for His favors to win the match. What was goalkeeper Braimah sprinkling in the goal post before the match??? Could it be that brought negative ? or Can we say it reflected on his performance to miss the penalty and couldn’t save the other goal keeper’s kick. Remember, God does not share His glory with anyone and that ‘missing by inches’ could be the adverse effect of that weakest link.

Why do Ghanaian men always have to explain why they shed tears at certain times in their lives? Is it because of our cultural "barima n'nsu" attitude? Kojo Adu Asare also tried to explain himself away sometime ago. We shed tears of joy and tears of sorrow. You put up your best but we lost and we were sorrowful, so we all cried. Crying does not make you less of a man. It actually shows the true human side of you.

Dede, I share your sentiments with you. You indeed did worked harder, but rather this is how it ended. Cheer up, for God's time is the best. Ivory were in the same situation 3yrs ago when lost to Zambia. Today that tears of theirs that they shared has turned into joy. Though times may tarry, but what God has destined for Ghana Black Stars, nobody can take away. It is discouraging if you think about how to start all over again, but trust in the Lord because when that time comes for Ghana, He will make everything beautiful. Cheer up Dede, we love you. God bless you.

Talented as he is Ayew was the one found doing all the "dirty" work of the Stars together with Afriyie Acquah. What he lacked in physical strength like Yahaya Toure and Bonny, he compensated with determination and hard work. A type of player who ought to be in Chealsea to hit the head lines. Ayew is the heir to the Black Stars' captainship, because he takes responsibility and leads by example.

How in the World you the experience people sit for inexperience players who has not been tested to take the penalty kick while we were leading by two goals? imagine if Dede,Afful,stepped in and played we would"ve won.

Only in Ghana you find a selfish
player who abandon his team and Country at a crictical time his leadership is needed.
His mother has told him not to take penalty kick for Ghana again.
Oh!!only in Ghana

I thought Ghanaians would know by now that
Too much of prayers without playing the game doesn't make you a winner. For over 30years they've been praying all the time and many Pastors and so called prophets prophecise on daily basis. Some say they're fasting and others go to juju but where is the win? The latest is appointing a coach from Israel thinking he's Jesus's brother and will conjure the Okomfo Anokye Africa cup for Ghana. Has all yielded to anything? Common sense and better judgement is what will win us the cup and nothing else. You need some old players as well as younger ones to mingle and work together to come out victorious. In the past two World Cup quarter final stage, if Asamoah Gyan had given older and experienced Stephen Appiah the chance to take the penalty kick against Uruguay, Ghana would have been world champions in that tournament. Readers, THINK THINK AND THINK AGAIN- peace
