We can all agree that the pitch was bad but the back stars must not use it as an excuse. Most of those players initially started their football career on a worse pitch than this.

You will love how deep this Science student thinks. This isn’t a usual Science student, but a Patriotic and critical analyzer. @OsagyefoNKB this great brain needs to be held safe.

No wonder none of the top clubs approached him in the transfer window. Unnecessary dribbles, holding on to the ball for too long, not passing… kivo kudus with no impact!

How many times have we had the Angolans playing here on this Baba Yara Stadium? Ghana has been playing here for years now and it’s the same pitch, nothing’s changed. I’m not saying the pitch didn’t have a role to play but please spare we the excuse of blaming it all on the pitch
