The chances that came Ghana's way were not converted, and assistant coach Maxwell Konadu was left wondering why after Thursday's semifinal defeat against Cameroon.
The Black Stars deputy gaffer was, as were millions of his countrymen, disappointed after Cameroon's disciplined show kicked Ghana out. “I’m very disappointed in the loss but that’s not the end of the world. We just have to lift our heads up and play for the third position.”

“We had all the opportunities to win the game but we could not get the ball into the net. Sometimes these things do happen.
It was the time for us to also achieve something. It’s not easy to take it but we have no choice than to play for third place, he told Sports Crusader.”
