"I hate it when people in power take us for fools. How can Ghana win the World Cup with poor transition, poor planning and interference in call-ups? The teams that win tournaments have a proper plan. Look at Spain, Argentina, France, and Brazil. Horses are even falling. How much more Ghana? Apuuuuu."
