We need to raise the quality of all the coaches of our national teams.

Basigi (Queens, no Olympics, no respect against Germany), Dramani (Satellites, no Afcon), Fabin (Starlets, Afcon by the skin of their teeth) and all those currently responsible for the Meteors (no Olympics), Local Black Stars, Princesses and Maidens should be re-trained.

We need a Management revolution.
Stop stealing money and send them overseas to learn something that can help us.

We keep losing because we refuse to learn.

Ugly Nyantakyi should use the stolen coefficient money to train our local coaches abroad.

The next qualifying match is against Cote D'Ivoire. If they put up that show boating against the young elephants, they will be laughing at the wrong side of their mouths.

I respect the Burkinabe team but the goal margin is too much.4 goals to 1 paaaa.The coach must sit up and he should not come back with any explanations/excuses and I aslo believe that the team needs more friendly matches to give them more exposure and experience.The next stage of the competition will be more tougher and tactical.

Avenue to amass wealth; and I strongly suspect the Bukinabe coach delivered on his promise of fielding over-age players, so as to even the playing field!
A beautiful game intended to promote friendship and cooperation among nations, has now become 'big business' for Official of various national soccer federations, to rip off their respective countries.
Who are we kidding,this shameful situation must be addressed!
