This might be a friendly but this is the most disgraceful game of football that I have ever seen. So called professional players sitting on the ball and they are using government money to travel to come to America and disgrace themselves.
2014 we lost but we went toe to toe. 2010 I still remember how we won and ofc 2006. 2018 we both fail to qualify for the World Cup.
Since then they have revamped their program, what have we done? Complete and utter incompetence! Making up tournament budgets to siphon money. Asking players for bribe to play for youth national teams. Hiring a coach who was sacked by Thailand just bc he did well in 2010, now you can influence him with your agency callups. The whole country, only one approved international stadium that is barely proper.
The Ghanaian football association is a disgrace and if we had serious politicians they would make sure it is dissolved! Using government funds to fly to America to sit on the balls on the pitch, to play like a high school team. For the Americans to pity you as you take your payout for organizing the friendly.
2009 u20 we beat Brazil. I still remember 2010, destroying Egypt in 2013. 2014 was a failure but we went toe to toe with Germany. 2015 we have everything. Stephen Appiah, sulley Muntari, Asamoah Gyan, Christian Atsu (rip), Kwadwo Asamoah, Dede Ayew.
We left Ghana when I was young but these were my heros. How I fell in love with football, it was because of Ghana. And if I fall out of love with football, it will be because of Ghana and the disgraceful, village way that we run football just like we run our country. So much potential wasted.
Usa is really playing like a top side right now . They just need that professionalism to keep the game in winning position
