    I hope after the football match the supreme court has resumed sitting. Was it their bad luck?

    Kwadzo is talking nonsense and Gaby Bruk is just envious of Ghanaians because he knows we are all that.

  • Nana Mensah 10 years ago

    Of course,we must win otherwise what's the point of getting involve?Jealousy and hatred will kill you.Why don't you and your likes,get off Ghana's back.
    We don't accept or want to be second best.Get that into your skull.

  • Watataman 10 years ago

    Selection for Anaba and Nketiah caused us to lose this cup. Nketiah, thank God got hurt and Addico came to revive the back. Yet Anaba with eggs in his ass cannot ran not follow up on a ball. He was the main reason defense was ...

    There were several instances both Aboagye and Acheampong (our geniuses) could have scored from open play, but would rather pass the ball. A good coach would had advise them to use strikers as decoy and strike themselves. No o ...

    We got to semis/ how many teams out of 32 got that far. Shut up nincompoops

  • MAXDOK 10 years ago

    WHY IS IT THAT ALL THE GOALS SCORED OUR KEEPER ARE LONG DISTANCE BALLS? ALL THE TEAMS REALIZED THAT HE FUMBLES WITH LONG SHOTS.DANIEL ADJEI WILL NEVER ALLOW MORE THAN A GOAL IN HIS NET. THE KEEPER NEED TO BE CHANGED.

  • GHFUO, BE SERIOUS NOT PRIDEFUL! 10 years ago

    GIVE THE U20 TO KONADU. GIVE THE U17 TO BORBOR. GIVE THE METEROS JOB TO DIDI DRAMANI.
    BORBOR IS NOT A GOOD COACH. WE HAD DEFENSIVE ISSUES FROM DAY 1. GH SHOULDNT EVEN HAVE BEEN IN THE SEMI FINALS. WHY COULDNT U FIND A WAY TO ...

  • Makaa Maka 10 years ago

    I agree totally wit u guys. Ghana's defense at this tournament was so bad. From midfield through to the goalie was so porous. Poor marking and poor cover. I thought the coach would observe and learn but they never improved. W ...

    How far did Kwesi appiah reach in a continental tournament. This is thwe World Cup. Let us have our peace. Everythin must be for Kotoko or NPP?

    Is Ghana for Kotoko?. Could Max have reached the semi-final of the World Cup without Ghanaian refs and journalists?. Borbor even made Anaba Captain to silence the Kotoko JSS journalists. If it had been Jordan Ayew they would ...

    CK,
    I think you are right!
    If we fail in our encounter with Iraq to do something to our defence,we shall no doubt suffer another defeat

  • Jason 10 years ago

    Yep,

    Defence was terrible.

  • tinkalo 10 years ago

    Remember how the second goal was conceded? Was the result of a failure to clear a simple ball by a defender. that defender was always shaking and never really comfortable on the ball. The technical team is equally to be blame ...

  • ++HE CAN'T HOP++ 10 years ago

    All the players are good but the keeper is sub-standard for this tournament. Adjei was better in 2009.

  • New Jersey 10 years ago

    Yes the defense was bad but the midfield was bad as well. It was easy for France to go past our midfield straight to our defense.

    Our forward were more or less selfish, sometimes they don't want to pass the ball. They can ...

    good talk our coach is stopid he don't no anything all our pro is defence and the orther hand to bring boakye is too late

  • Kwasi Asante, Providence,RI USA 10 years ago

    Agreeably, I do not understand why the Coach brought Boakye in very late in the game. We lost three key players, and our reliable goal keeper, Antwi; that made it four keys players lost. Antwi could have done better on the se ...

    I felt Sellas was the wrong choice for the Satellites ,because he a bit rusty ,after messing up in Rwanda and being dormant for some time.

    BORBOR IS RUDIMENTARY AND HAS BEEN EXPOSED. HE WON THE U20 TROPHY BCOS OF DEDE. HE SHOULD GO N COACH U17. IM REALLY DISAPPOINTED. HOW CAN U LOSE 2WICE TO EGYPT N FRANCE? 2WICE....U CANT REXAMINE UR MISTAKES N FIX THEM? LOOK A ...

    This guy was not injured but they say he was.I hope he didn't come to haunt us.

  • Ato 1 10 years ago

    The Satellites defeated themselves, They have to be told that modern Football is just short passes, and not dribbling until you can't anymore. If this told I think they can come further next time than this..

  • OGYAM 10 years ago

    There was little cement and iron rods in the fence wall. that's why it fell.

  • Analyst 10 years ago

    The Satellites could not have done better than what they did by being semi finalists. Both the players and the coach did so well. It is very unreasonable for us Ghanaians to always think that we should be world champions alwa ...

    This is not the time to apportion blame. These young boys did their very best and they deserve every praise in the book.Congrats.The comments fom Akunnor is totally uncalled for.

  • KANTAMANTO 10 years ago

    I think C K observed rightly. Some of the players did not fall back to help the defense. They lost bcos they did not defend as a team, some were waiting in the middle for few to tackle and pass the ball to them.
