The after-effects of Ghana’s shock exit from the Africa Cup of Nations are being felt in the West African country, with the government’s Ministry of Youth and Sports summoning the Ghana Football Association to an emergency meeting on Friday to discuss their performance in Cameroon.
Former Black Stars full-back, John Paintsil talks about where it all went wrong for Milovan Rajevac’s side and how the four-time continental champions can bounce back in future tournaments.
Speaking, Paintsil said “This is the first time Ghana have gone out in the group stages since 2006 in Egypt.
“Since then we’ve never looked back, we’ve been doing so well. This Nations Cup exit, as an ex-player, makes me feel so disappointed.

“I can’t say it is embarrassing to finish last because we lost to Comoros. These days football’s dynamic has changed and every football nation needs to be respected. This Comoros team came and proved themselves on the world stage.
“We are not embarrassed because of our opponents, we are embarrassed because Ghana is a big football nation, not just in Africa but across the world. Put simply, we should not have exited at the group stage.
“I still think the players did what they could as individuals. We started with a local coach, CK Akonnor, a former Black Stars captain, who was coaching the boys at the start of the qualifying stage,” he told BBC.
