Ghana Football Has Been Sinking Due to Political InterferGhana for sometime was seen as one of the giants in African football. Having won the Afcon for 4times and appeared on the final for about 7times really make us known when it comes to the Africa settings.
Is rather unfortunate our game of football has taken a sharp turn and indeed a shameful one. Ghana in South Africa 2010 performed so much well that, we were known by the world for that wonderful performance at the world cup in the Africa terrain.
Now 2014 in Brazil was worst and we just have to exit the tournament in the group stages. A lot of things happened which of course a member panel was set to digest those things that went on at Brazil. A lot of recommendations were suggested by these panel and one of course has to do with government interference in our football.
It has now been seen as every government policy to win something for the nation during Its tenure of office. Government attention has only been with the Black Stars, caring less about the local football,, How can you develop your football without any sponsorship on your local league.
Government for just this tournament pumped so much money and assured the players that money ain't problem, they should go and perform, but is about time we tell government football is money but is not always about money. You need to put proper things in place, have a plan, where you are going and how you will get there. German did that in 2014 and they won the world cup, same as France in 2018. We win trophies with a plan not Luck or prayers.

As a Ghanaian I see our football to be sinking far worst than we can imagining if something urgent is not done. The support of the people is gone. Supporting the national team is now for the supporters whose Party is in Power.
Ghana of all nation could just exit a tournament with just a point in the same Group with Morocco, Gabon and Comoros...what a shame.. for us.
