Football is full of emotions. When you lose, you sometimes cry; fans and players alike. No one is saying crying due to love of the game is wrong. But the tears have been seen over and over again and makes a boring excuse.

Love to represent Ghana should be above all things. The money aspect is key for players but shouldn’t be a priority considering what is at stake.
All players should tell the money – no kissing babe! Wink wink John Boye.

Legend has it the captain of the Black Stars and General Caption of Ghana’s senior national team almost always subtly divide the dressing room.
From what we’ve seen in the jama sessions and skits from the Black Stars camp, nothing of that sort is out yet. Let it stay the same. Andre Ayew and Asamoah Gyan should unite the dressing room to conquer.
