Ghana is not struggling to host the cup. Thre ae monr glitches everywhere. Of the pitches they were inspected severaal times by CAF and was tested. All this while Le- roy was there and he never complained. Africans are fed up with colonial masters trying to recolonize our soccer. Gkeason is thrashing the nations cup because we did not change the schedule.

The ANC’s primary aim is to enable hosts to develop their soccer and other infrastructures.

That is why it is held every two years and that is why Africa is resisting the calls to hold it every four years.

Obviously, Angola will learn from Ghana’s mistakes and make bigger plans.

The players themselves are Africans who know that infrastructures at home are not at the same level as those at their clubs, so they are not shocked (although they deserve better).
