Some of us not supporting the Blackstars yesterday wasn't the main reason why they lost bro... Even the spirit of the land was against them masa. Ask yourself one question, those mediocre teams that have been beating us what do they they offer them in their countries?

The Blackstars always fail to progress in competitions because of "silly" mistakes and greed of a few people. The Blackstars with all the talents never bond and work together as a team.
