Ghana Has All She Needs In The Local Team
Not absolutely proven though but it is a notion which has in it very strong points.
The general public holds this strong perception that local league players do not have what it takes. But the WAFU tournament has become an eye-opener to football fans who disregard the Ghana Premier League.
One thing to actually note is the fact that this side is not a true representation of the best in every position in the Ghana Premier League.
Though the team has recent,y made Ghana proud, we will not hesitate to say that there is much room for improvement. This is bearing in mind the Black Star B’s failure to qualify for CHAN as well as the painful home defeat to Burkina Faso.
