We start in a repechage group that is very strong... we have Belgium, Canada and Taiwan. Only the first one will qualify for the World tournament. Having a look at their rosters it is clear we have little/no chances, so maybe we want to focus on the Consolation tournament. I'm not saying anything more, but do not expect our team to win this stage :-)

Two seasons ago I was very proud for the first victory of SA (I had Argentina and Italy!!!) in the repechage in the history, obtained without killing my TS.

One victory would be great, repechage is tough to African teams.

Good luck!

Today we play against Canada; a good way to try to experiment something. Do not expect a win, as we don't have any chance :-)

Another disappointing season by the Ghana U21 National Team............quite a shame I must say myself, hopefully the players can overcome the coaches short comings.

It's always interesting to read these sudden screams.

This is Ghana path so far:
17/01/2011 21.00.00 40 Ghana U21 69 - 101 (Replay) 8 Belgium U21 Argentina
24/01/2011 21.00.00 40 Ghana U21 63 - 93 (Replay) 25 Canada U21 Argentina
31/01/2011 21.00.00 32 Taiwan U21 86 - 65 (Replay) 42 Ghana U21 Argentina
07/02/2011 21.00.00 15 Ceska Rep. U21 81 - 37 (Replay) 43 Ghana U21 Ghana
15/02/2011 0.30.00 44 Ghana U21 81 - 49 (Replay) 94 Barbados U21 Barbados


Ghana is #42 in the world, best ever, and highly overrated (as "my" SouthAfrica). Two months ago, there were 12 managers, equivalent to an incredibly small amount of potential decent players, nothing to do with any of other opponents, excluding Barbados. Two seasons ago I remember Ghana at #86. Cobra did a wonderful job, although it is impossible to match european and asian teams.

Look at opponents ranking. Look at opponents players salary and individual evaluation. Tell me what Cobra could do, apart of defeating Nigeria (who was almost dominant in Africa with previous coach), catching the third spot in African Cup after "my" SouthAfrica, that was leveraging several seasons of good scouting, and Misr, that is far larger than any other opponent in Africa.

So, as telling "you are badly performing" is easy: what exactly would you do better?

how you can say this??? we reached african tournament semifinals, we lost the world championships repechage (but it is out of our possibility) and we have good possibility to reached playoffs on consolation (again..I remember you that 2 season ago we are the best african team in consolation and we reached the possibility to play at home the african tournament)...in a nation with 5 active managers, are you sure to be able to do this?? if you are sure, at the end of this season there are the elections..see you there ;-)

What a shame, the Ghana team is under performing and the staff of the Ghana U21 team is full of excuses, oh how expected this is. Learn to man up, you have nobody to blame but yourselves for Ghana's falter, looks like Ghana will continue to be mis-managed, I can personally guarantee me and my "staff" would show up better results given the chance.

we don't give any excuses..we give results..at the beginning of our mandate, we are 86th on world ranking, now we are 42nd, and we reached 2 semifinals on african tournament and playoffs on a consolation...
if you are sure to make better than us, I repeat you, at the end of this season there are elections...I'm curious to hear your and your staff ideas about coaching better a nation with 5 active managers...in the meantime you can say me in what we are wrong...

No need to point out whats wrong just yet, that can wait for if I enter a candidacy. And I completely disagree, through all the threads i continuously see excuses made by the Ghana under 21 staff about how they won't be able to compete or have the necessary resources. I disagree on the progress, Ghana should be higher than it currently is, instead its lower than a rank it should be, and competing at a much lower level than where it should be playing.

ok...then show me the thread you're talking about!!!
we never find excuses for our seasonal targets..we are just realistic...BB is not the real life, where a little country (with 3 or 4 good drafting players at year) can have the dream to win the world championship..this is a browser game, with mathematical calculus, and if you think that ghana can beat Italy or USA or Spain, you are really crazy, because we need a year with at least 8 18yo perennial all stars (and this is impossible with a one only league draft, or if you have ever seen a thing like this??), and their have to be trained very very good...so, we can play the world tournament and try to win it...but this is not real life...seriusly, you joke or just you are newbie??
