Sports Journalist expresses disappointment at Ghana's AFCON campaign

In a conversation with YEN.com.gh, sports journalist Fifi Anaman expressed disappointment at the early end of Ghana's AFCON campaign, stating that a lot needs to change.

The Black Stars could have done far better than they did because we have a lot of quality players who are better or equally as good as most of the players from other top teams in the competition. A lot went wrong during the campaign, from coaching to player errors. A massive change has to happen in the Black Stars camp.

Joseph Paintsil contradicts Chris Hughton

In another story, Joseph Paintsil says he was not fatigued in the Blak Stars vs Mozambique game before his substitution in the second half.

His claim contradicts an earlier claim by the team's coach, Chris Hughton, that he made the substitution because the midfielder needed some rest.

Hughton replaced Paintsil, one of the best performers, with Dede Ayew at the start of the second half of the 2-2 draw with Mozambique.
