Ghana always first in Africa. Haters can go burn the sea.
Where are those who claim they are better than Ghana in women football? We are the touch bearers of Africa & we‘ll proudly continue to do so!….In football,we are second to none.
Well disciplined, tactical, defensive and counter-offensive display of the game by a well talented superb Black Maidens and their fantastic technical team led by coach “DIDI”! The Black Stars should devote a couple of hours to really analyse and take a very good look at the recording of the match! There are a lot of “things” they can learn form the match!

U re rather stupid and the most idiot i ve ever known in de world
when it comes to subsaharan Africa, I’m proud to say Ghanaians pave the way in every venture. hahaha.
GHANA : Gate way to Africa. let them know!
Zambia,What is your problem. Please let us celebrate this victory, either by making noise or by being quite shouldnt be your beef. i think you should think of Zambia rather than commenting on Ghana. Football is what we eat in Ghana. Nigeria or Zambia can not be compared to Ghana. we are gradually building our football to meet the European standard.very soon you would see what this country is made of. so please stay off comments on our site.
Ghanaians re fools
@ zambia: maybe if u payed a vist to the nigerian sites you would have seen the celebrating that victory so please let us be with those comments of yours. If u were ryt i would side with u, believe that, but u’re wrong, we have every ryt to brag being the first once again.
besides you guys did it saying u were the best in african after winning the afcon, y can’t we (ghanaians) state facts too. It’s a fact that we are the first africans to reach the semi finals of the 17 womens world cup. Let us be.
@ zambia 4eva: i advise u go on supersport facebook n join ur zambian folks n the whole continent includin naija celebrate wid GH n stop being bitter, typical african man! Ghana was, b4 ur european masters taught u hw to play football. reach us if u can.
