Senior, these Round of 32 matches have rewarded teams for their sacrifice and ability to convert at the opponent's boxes.
๐ฌ๐ญBlackstars ability to be sharp and convert chances in the opponent's box will be very crucial.
Watching ๐จ๐ฎ Cote d'Ivoire now and I appreciate Antoine Semenyo more. He has sacrificed his personal quest for goals to contribute to the team ethos, dropping deeper than normal, feeding of scraps and all that.
He has spoken of how "obviously frustrating" it is, but says "the team comes first".
Some of those Ivorian players we just saw wanted their names up in lights, and chose themselves above team. A ball not passed to a teammate in space, taking a shot when a pass sufficed... you saw them all.
Of course, substituting Inao Oulaรฏ was strange; the kid was the one doing the dirty jobs in the midfield. The other two midfielders left on the field โ Sangare and Kessie โ were leggy and Norway run them around. The Haaland goal was a direct result of that decision.
Norway were not the better side, they just got their basics right. A combination of Ivorian inexperience (which shouldnt be so) and just self-above-team.
A regrettable knockout.
Deeply upsetting news out of South Africa, where Jayden Adams โ who played three games at the ongoing World Cup โ has died. Only 25.
We await official statement on cause of death. ๐
I must be blessed to be living rent-free in the minds of some of Ghana's (allegedly) richest people, to the point that they keep tweeting about me, a humble SPORTS journo.
Like, not even a top-of-the-line news/current affairs journo, but a sports journo. Damn, I've done very well for myself.
I'll give them plenty more to talk about between now and '28.
For now, I have a World Cup to finish hard.

On this day in 2006: Zidane vs. Buffon. ๐๏ธโฝ
The ultimate high-stakes chess match. Hitting a Panenka against the worldโs best goalkeeper in a World Cup final isn't just confidence - it's pure football heritage. A moment that will live forever. ๐โจ
*I may delete this soon*
Every single day, I'm thankful for the brave but tough decision, many years ago, to completely detach my career prospects from Ghana sports.
I live in Ghana. But I refuse to be *of* Ghana. The world is too big and too laden with opportunity to be *of* Ghana.
Can you imagine being tethered to a system like this in order to have a better life?
To be reliant on the institutions being discussed in the last 4/5 days? To be worried that their actions and inactions will affect your quality of life?
It is my hope that every young sports journalist and sports content creator is ready to make the effort and sacrifice required to delink their sustenance from this broken system. To challenge themselves to be more. More than just score-counters, and press conference regurgitators, but commercially viable people that reputable institutions can bank on.
To position yourself to fight the system in a way that will not cut off your oxygen. To be able to pick your moments, pace yourself and act with clarity at your own time.
Yes, the decision will lead you to an extremely lonely road. It is a very tough (t)ask.
You may likely lose a few early friends and all that, but believe me when I say, you will win if you stay the course. The right friends will eventually find you.
Map out a plan. Find helpers. Stay the course. Be uncompromising in your work ethic. There will be a gew bad days and potholes and mistakes you will make.
But โ and I am sure of this โ fate usually smiles on those who stay true to themselves.
May the force be with us all. As for Ghana sports, it is well. Aluta continua.

How did this truthful guy changed? Where is the truth and evidence to back your boss? Just play this video to your boss and let him take and work with these ideas. I miss the truthful shows we had. Call me small. The Lord help us all. Amen
