Black stars lost gracefully and made history in the process! In the World Cup match between Ghana and Uruguay, for the 2nd part of the first half their play was far superior, and throughout the game their attacks were fast moving and dangerous. The play was never boring. It was nice to see a referee who took no nonsense but punishes when necessary.

The result could so easily have been different, the possibility of winning the cup more than just a dream.

The Black stars united the whole of African continent and every country with black connection for one week. What an achievement. We are one people with one focus in life and this was spelt out through the world cup match.

I just want to thank the coach Milo for nurturing our players to being premium players, Ghana Football Association and all who were involved. Our President Atta Mills showed his support by being there in person to for squad and Nelson Mandela encouragement all helped. Ghana is still walking tall as the country is now a tourist resort which have been promoted by the World cup events.

No one is to be blamed but the handball from Uruguay. They must be ashamed of themselves by now when they re-watch the match they played in South Africa on the 02/07/10. It seems this is the strategy adopted by South American to win any World Cup match they play. They are cheats who will do anything to win. Let’s see how far they will go. Maradonna’s famous ‘hand of god’ was used by Argentina to beat England in the 80’s was another example of this plot. They use more than feet and their heads! Now the whole wide world have seen how unscrupulous is the Uruguay team.

In 2006 The Black star squad were not as confident being there first foray in the World Cup.

The 2014 motto for the Black Stars of Africa should be ‘I’ll be back!’ Opposition will be terminated!
