Counting performances of the Black Stars – at the doom stage?

The Black Stars demonstrated masterclass defending to hold England to a 0-0 stalemate in their second 2026 World Cup group game before succumbing 2-1 to Croatia in a technically flawed game, many assumed, in their third and final game of the group.

Before the Black Stars went to the 2026 World Cup, news that circulated in the media was that the team needed a coach who commands respect in the dressing room and could give the team shape and a playing identity.

Sincere Ghanaian football fans should have been sincere with themselves after the Ivory Coast game that this Black Stars team may have nothing to offer against Gambia.
