We had Felix who was already established, had cemented his position in the black Stars no matter what but, we decided to bring in a new goalkeeper hoping to replace him with Felix at the national level. What the hell is a certain Richard Attah doing in thers? We cost this!

I asked this question just last month and I’m asking again
If you people said Felix Afena Gyan was too young to play for the Black Stars against Ethiopia and South Africa, is he now old to play for us in the AFCON after 2 months?

So the Black Stars list which is out, did it meet your expectations or there are players you expected to make the list?

Why did they have to include Hearts of Oak keeper Richard Attah to the Black Stars squad. He’s not good enough to be in this team.

Philemon Baffuor has been consistent in all Black Stars call ups since Kurt Okraku took over President of GFA but has never played a game for the team even when our right fullbacks are injured. This means there's a hidden agenda about the guy that needs to be unraveled

Did the Black Stars Coach and the Leadership of the Ghana Football Association consider Covid-19 in naming 30 men for the AFCON? what if there is outbreak of the virus in the squad?

These players @MaxwellQuaye07 and @david_abagna are trending because, this is their first time to be named into the Black Stars and most of us believes that "It's very right and a good decision by leaders incharge".#AbbeyAndAbagnaToCameroon.

You always cry for local players to be included in the Black Stars squad, Abbey Quaye of Olympics and Others get included and you are questioning why he was called. Boie3
