  45th in the world, 8th in Africa, after a major leap. They must have been in the abyss before the "major" leap. Ghana football being run by incompetent heads. Complete overhaul is needed.

  I remember when we were between 19th and 21st in the world and 2nd in Africa.Who was the Coach during that time again? Oh,Appiah?Are you sure it wasn't Grant? Well surely the GFA was headed by a better person than Nyantakyi.What!You mean to tell me Nyantakyi was still at the head of GFA?What about our performance on the field?You must be an exaggerating, Ghana can never beat Egypt 6goals to 1.So what changed? No! you can't blame the downward spiral on our absentee coach.It is Nyantakyi and Appiah's fault.Maybe if we gave more money to Grant and allowed him to take more holidays we will get better.Yeaaaaa Ghana!

  Downfall started when we let go all our experienced, best players like KPB, Muntari, Essien in the name of so called discipline. Who fired them ?

  The real reason why the Ghana Premier League cannot pay its players well is because ghanaians don't go to the stadiums to support their local teams. The only club whose fans actually support them financially by paying to go to the stadium to watch their matches is Kotoko. The accountants who audited the accounts of the football league found that every football team in the premier league gets 60% of their revenue from the home and away matches they play with Kotoko. For example, if Kotoko plays with a premiership club today, 30,000 Kotoko fans will troop to that particular stadium to watch the match while only 1,000 of the other club's supporters will go the stadium. The next week, if another club is playing the same club, only about 1,500 fans in total from the 2 clubs will pay to go and watch them. Having the supporters of only one club financially supporting the league is not sustainable. What if the Kotoko supporters decide not to go to the stadium anymore? The league will collapse financially. More should be done by the other clubs and the GFA to encourage fans of the other clubs to go the stadium regularly.
  If all the teams could attract e.g. 20,000 fans to every match, the clubs will generate large revenues to pay decent salaries to their players.
  It is not the government's responsibility to pay the salaries of footballers playing for private football clubs.

  This FIFA rankings is some bullshit of a sort. Argentina hasn't won anything in how many years, yet they are number UNO in the world! Right now, irrespective of the so-called "high players" from other countries, Cameroon reigns supreme in Africa, yet they are ranked behind Egypt. Go figure!

  Just as Nigeria also moved up the scale 9 places from 50th to 41st in the world for the month of February and, 7th in Africa above Ghana that played at Afcon 2017 with 3 wins, Nigeria that never kicked a ball ever since they defeated Algeria in the world cup qualifiers in Nigeria is still ahead of Ghana. FIFA should make public the method used in calculating the rankings so we all can be involved in checking the veracity and accuracy of the calculations.
