Your loss is not our loss’ – Ghanaians react to Black Stars’ defeat

Goals from Mohammed Salah and Abdallah El-Said in each half dented Ghana’s hopes of making it to the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

The result leaves the Black Stars five points behind group leaders Egypt with four games to play.

Ghanaians, upset with the manner of the loss to the team that the Black Stars beat 7-3 on aggregate to reach the last World Cup, took to social media to vent their spleen.

While some took their fury out on the players and head coach Avram Grant, some felt the managers of the team for the dismal start to the qualifying campaign.

However, it was not all anger on social media as quite a number of Ghanaians ‘celebrated’ Egypt’s win.

Given the bad blood that clearly still exists following the team’s disappointing showing in Brazil 2014,  they expressed their excitement at the possibility of the Black Stars not making the World Cup after qualifying for three successive tournaments.

Reasons ranged from the players being “cut down to size” to “state resources being saved”.

Take a look at some of the best reaction from social media.
