Ghana's Carelessness: A Lesson For African Teams by LasisiAyodeji: 5:15pm On Dec 02, 2022
Over the years and at major several tournaments, African teams, more often than not, have faced elimination outrightly because of their lack of precision and professionalism and this trait, has remained inherent. Ghana, carried so much hope for Africa when the continent hosted the World Cup in 2010. In the quarter final match between Ghana and Uruguay, Ghanian striker Asamoah Gyang failed to convert a dying minute penalty kick and the aftermath, was and or will forever remain disheartening. Similarly, Nigeria in 1994, 98, 2014 & 2018, exhibited the same characteristics. African teams have been bashed repeatedly for this, with critics pointing out the fact that there has to be a better form of approach to each game from Africa teams if they're to perform better in subsequent tournaments. Coming into Qatar, it was expected that African teams, will leverage on the mistakes from years past as they hope to perform better. Unfortunately, the case more or less, still remains the same. Hence, the question is being asked when exactly will African teams come off age at the world cup?
