2 frames. Pay attention to the backline coordination in both frames.
Particularly the communication between the goal keepers and the last man at the far posts. No agenda here just pay attention.
Donโt they do investigative journalism in football journalism? Why are all the journalists acting like thereโs something they wana say but canโt say? You are the media ffs, do the work and expose the rot plsss
Coach Nimley God bless you for speaking the truth and unapologetically so. Sports punditry on the Gh scene, I've noticed a few things.
Many know the rot but will deliberately go praise some โstatsโ about players whose role demands something overtly obvious, shocking!!!
๐ฃ๏ธ Carlos Queiroz says inexperience cost the team
โIt's a very young team. We need more experience; we need time for some players to gain what we call maturity.โ
Prince Adu
Japan, Korea, Germany, Austria, Wales, Panama, England, Colombia
Man never impress
Took Thomas Asante just 3 games
Unity cup against Nigeria where he scored, Friendlies against Wales & Panama to show heโs got a lot to offer after Otto Addo had constantly snub him
Minutes at the 2026 World Cup
๐ฌ๐ญ Augustine Boakye - 0 minutes
๐ฌ๐ญ Christopher Bonsu Baah - 0 minutes
No one is saying playing these two would have won us the World Cup, but it is disappointing that we did not even try these attacking players with the skillset they have.
Two strikers play for Championship sides. One has taken his club down to League 1, the other has taken his team to the PL while been their best attacker. Guess who starts in my national team. ๐ฌ๐ญ

By the time ๐ฌ๐ญ Ghana appointed Carlos Queiroz, the Black Stars already had deep structural problems. No coach was going to overhaul this team in a few months.
The mistake many fans made was expecting Queiroz to become something he has never been.
His football has always been about organisation, discipline and tournament survival. Not attacking flair. Never.
So when Ghana defended better but struggled to create chances, it shouldn't have been a shock.
Jerome Opoku captured it perfectly after the Colombia defeat, telling me:
"We can defend, defend, defend but if we don't get that one goal to relieve pressure off the defense, then we can't succeed."
Exactly.
Ghana conceded just three goals in four World Cup matches, but scored only two despite having forwards like Antoine Semenyo, Jordan Ayew, Brandon Thomas-Asante, Kamaldeen Sulemana and Fatawu Issahaku.
That, my people, is no accident. It is the the trade-off for having the 73-year-old.
This isn't about blaming the forwards. Semenyo came into the tournament after arguably the best goalscoring season of his career. Brandon Thomas-Asante had earned a much bigger conversation about his role. Jordan Ayew often looked isolated. The issue wasn't simply personnel; it was the system.
And that system was exactly what Queiroz has built everywhere he has coached.
For me, he was the right man for a very specific job: stabilise Ghana, restore defensive credibility and guide us through the World Cup with respectability.
Mission accomplished.
But that's also why I don't think he should lead the next phase.
World Cup football and a qualifying campaign are different assignments.
The next Black Stars coach must build on the defensive foundation Queiroz has laidโbut also unleash one of Ghana's most exciting attacking generations in years.
Thank you, Carlos.
You did the job you were hired to do.
Now it's time for someone else to take this team forward. I'll be surprised if the GFA allowed him to take us into the future.

Prior to the Black Starsโ match against Colombia at Kansas City in the United States, Coach Nimley shared this about Black Stars captain Jordan Ayew.
Alidu Seidu, Baba Rahman, Sibo, Owusu, Inaki, Jordan, Kamaldeen
These 9 players only occupying spaces in this black stars team, blocking the chances of more productive players..they got no business to be part of this team moving forward
