Let ask ourselves why Black stars performance in their last two matches have been poor. The reason is because of lack of motivation and preparation.

There are so many things involved when it comes to winning matches against African teams. The previews sports ministers knew this, thus why Black stars were wining their matches with ease.The Ex-ministers were working hand in hand with the FA and you could see the cordial understanding between the two even reflecting on the pitch.The understanding was there so the FA could see all the weak points of their opponents and utilize to defeat them.Now, isn't the same Black stars that has qualified to nations cup in Gabon.

Also,isn't the same Black stars that got to nations cup final.Again, isn't the same team and administrators that have sent Ghana to world cup three times.What has changed so much that Ghana is now struggling.What motivation and secrete that prompted the same coach Avram Grant in his debut when he sent Ghana to nations cup final.The problem is simple, unless you are blind and hate the FA.The causal agent is from the ministry.Why is it that the Ex-sports ministers succeeded and Nii Lantey is not. He has bad attitude and only came to office in a form of witch hunting the FA..The zeal to play is no longer there for the players.A player, who buys his own ticket for a match would lose the zeal to play.A player, who was receiving his bonuses in dollars and now turns to cedis would lose the appetite to play.A player,whose motivation bonus have been drastically reduced without any reason, does one expect such a player to perform.When your sports minister is a talkative but not performing it spoil t the mood of the team.For the fear of tagging the FA as corrupt,now blank budget was sent to his office and l suppose the budget meant for the nature of such matches was inadequate that, it affected the game plan of the team .Everything, under this minister is not going on well not only football but Olympic games,Boxing and any other events as well..Our pitches for such matches are not up to standard and l bet Ghanaian s, till Nii Lantey, changes his attitude towards the FA or removed from office, Ghana is on the verge of missing the mundial for the first time under Nyantakyi.The players used to have their personal tickets from the FA to their love ones in a form of motivation,the minister has cancelled all these plans.

Uganda, prior to the Ghana match got 660m Shillings from their Government and they paid their coach three salary arrears and also got chance to play Togo in a friendly .
Nii Lantey, would tell the FA not to play any friendly that would not get us 500,000 dollars.The man is a mere politician and he is ignorant about the role he has been assigned to and the better the president do something about him the better for our sports.l am done.
