Lil Win reacts to Ghana's defeat
In a video on X, Lil Win wondered why the players played like there was nothing at stake even though it was the knockout stage.
He questioned Jordan Ayew's consistent starting role and criticised the management for making him start.
"I can't sleep. It's 4 am. The ball you played and the selection made were not good. Or have you sold the match to Colombia? If you people sold the World Cup match to lose against Colombia, then bring us our share of the money. You all did not play a good game."
"I think Jordan and his family have shares in the Black Stars, or that it even belongs to them. Almost 90% of Ghanaians complain whenever Jordan Ayew starts a match. At the very least, he should have been introduced in the second half. We need answers. Several Ghanaians have complained about him, but you keep selecting him," he added.
Lil Win asked several questions and hoped that he would receive answers to them.

"Just imagine Cape Verde 🇨🇻, Spain 🇪🇸, Uruguay 🇺🇾, and Argentina 🇦🇷, if it is Ghana 🇬🇭 like we are out long time ago hmm."

"The coach has shown that as long as he is the Coach of the Black Stars, he will die with Jordan ... He has nothing new to offer; this is all his got. If we extend his contract, this will be the only type of football we are going to get for the next 2 years, no matter the opponents."
@Kwaku_telly said:
"We saw the early signs with Otto Addo, and we chose to ignore. We all saw where it ended us. What we've seen all through the tournament is exactly what we are going to see if we choose to maintain this coach. He never showed any different tactics in a single game we played."

"Jokes aside, this is truly heartbreaking. There was no sense of urgency in the way the team played. It felt like only a few players were determined to prove a point, while the rest lacked the hunger and intensity the moment demanded."
@AgonaConfil8 said:
"They played like a group stage match; no seriousness. It's like they will still qualify regardless of the outcome of the match."

"Looks like the corruption in this Black Stars is crazy. We have very good players, but we will never play them because they don’t know anyone. Always playing washed players that everyone can see except the coach. It hurts so bad as a fan."
