   I said it, this U20 team is shit!! They lack cohesion and don’t really look like a team capable of winning the championship, Egypt dominated play from start to finish and really deserved the win. The only brightest spots were the goal scorer Ebenezer Assifuah & Richmond Nketia the right back, the rest were shit!! During the qualifiers this U20 team struggled to win against Uganda and Morocco @ home, lost all their away games. They were even trashed 3-0 by their junior brothers (U17) in a friendly game.

   In 2009 we were successful because we had chunk of the foreign based players in the team that were blended with few good local players, besides some of the players were part of the B/S set-up already. You can mention the likes of Dede, Inkoom & Opoku Agyemang. The current crop of players are really not up to scratch, they lack cohesion. It looks like Nigeria are gonna defend their title, we are the only that can challenge them for the ultimate but I seriously doubt if this team can judging from what I saw in this game. Sellas Tetteh made a BIG mistake by taking over the mantle as the coach of the team, he risks been disgraced and having his reputation ruined by these shit players!!

     Maxwell…Lets not throw in the towel yet. The boys played really well and matched the Egyptians. Agreed they were a bit naive or even over-enthusiastic in possession. They will improve and qualify.

   i’d like to believe that. For those who watch algeria vs benin, how do u fancy our chances. Oh and were playing according to the egyptian’s pace instead slowing down the game. That defender was very bad.

    At least the Black Satellites performed better,looking at the Egyptians they appeared older than us and besides that some of them play for their senior national team….Our team should take up their training seriously for their next game and avoid this ‘keche’ play.

    Nigeria thrashed this same Egyptian team 3-0 at thier back yard in cairo during a two legged friendly game.They surely outplayed Ghana but i hope Ghana will come back in thier next game, alas those two other teams (Algeria and Benin) are very good too going from what they played yesterday.Ghana is really on a tight rope here!!

    @ alan- itz not the senior team we r talking aba, itz the youth team. Itz doesn’t affect them as much since they can move around. coherent play is the target. They can still train together. Btw, alhaly won the caf champ league…jux sayn…they’re still good irrespective of their political predicament
