Carlos Queiroz should continue with team even fter the world cup till after the AFCON 2027.
He will build a solid National team for the Nation.
Very promising start.
If he had gotten the full squad Ghna will be deadly at the tournament.

“Not athletes whose times keep going in reverse.”
It is clear you don’t follow the sport because this claim not only factually inaccurate, it’s actually quite disrespectful to throw this out here in spite of the contrary evidence being just a google search away.
Ghana’s 100m record fell only last year, Saminu broke it. He has the third fastest 100m time of any African in history. To help you understand this in context, this means Saminu is the third fastest humanbeing in the entire history of Africa, starting from Egyptian civilization through to pre-colonial times to today. Let that simmer for a second.
The relay team, this very one you’re up in arms against, set the national record in Tokyo only few months ago.
That was the second fastest 4x100m time in African relay history. The context for Saminu’s rank applies here too. Think more deeply again about this. Think about all the great African relay teams in history. Only one has run faster than this Ghana team.
By what logic can this be described as “times going in reverse”?
They finished 4th at the world championships. Imagine finishing 4th at a global competition and calling it useless because they don’t give $12 million appearance fee there.
It means you don’t appreciate the very essence of sport. By relegating relevance to only money, you completely deviate from the very soul of sporting competition.
Olympic Games don’t pay a dime for medals won. I guess by your logic, that’s useless too because Black Stars bring money and Olympic Games bring nothing.
By claiming you’ve seen “Black Stars do great things” since 2006, same is true for the athletes.
So long as those “great things” do not include winning a trophy, every other thing is subjective and comparable.
Making the quarter-finals of a World Cup isn’t greater than making the final of a world athletics championships. By whose definition is it greater? Yours? That’s subjective. When matters cannot be settled by irrefutable facts, opinions are just that; opinions. And yours is not more important than that of a farmer in Tumu.
I drew more satisfaction from Ghana winning African Games relay gold in 2019, than I did with the Black Stars reaching the quarter-finals of the World Cup. To many more Ghanaians, same may be true.
Who are you to say our feeling is invalid because that achievement didn’t come with millions of dollars?
And quite frankly, the financial argument collapses under its own contradictions. You are the very person who routinely questions how the proceeds from our World Cup campaigns have been utilised, an admission that those funds have not been meaningfully channelled to benefit the ordinary supporter.
If the supposed returns have failed to translate into tangible improvements for the Ghanaian sports fan, then the premise of “return on investment” becomes fundamentally flawed.
On that basis, it is difficult to see how the same argument can now be invoked as a credible defence of continued investment in the Black Stars.
One cannot simultaneously decry the misapplication of resources and, in the same breath, present those same resources as evidence of value.
Such a position is inconsistent and undermines the very logic it seeks to advance.
For years now, Ghana keeps showing up mainly with the men’s 4x100 relay team, but serious questions must be asked. What happened to the women’s 4x100, men’s 4x400, women’s 4x400, and mixed relay teams?

We worship the Black Stars Players as if they were some “god” that if we don’t worship them, the whole country is doomed. These politicians and the people in charge of the Sports Ministry knows what they’re getting from that Black stars team, that’s why they’d pour out all their blood there and neglect the others
Abdul-Rasheed Saminu, Ghana's fastest man calls out Sports Ministry after issues of flight ticket almost affected the team's chances at the 2027 World Athletics Championships...

I don’t why some people get defensive because Blackstars is mentioned here. Saminu and co are our senior athletes so if they compare their treatment with the footballers who have achieved nothing in the last 40 years, it is right.
