Angry Ghana Fan Blasts Black Stars After Loss: “I’m Not Expecting Anything”

• Ghana’s loss to Cape Verde has sparked a reaction among fans
• The Black Stars suffered a 2-1 defeat in their AFCON opening game
• Garry Rodrigues tapped into an empty net in the 92nd minute

Ghanaian fans are heartbroken, and some have already given up on their team’s chances at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations following their opening-day loss to Cape Verde.

The Black Stars are at the bottom of Group B, behind Cape Verde, Egypt, and Mozambique, after conceding a late winner through Garry Rodrigues, who earned all three points for the Blue Sharks in stoppage time.

According to the BBC, Ghana faces a difficult assignment against Egypt in their next Group B outing on Thursday, January 18, as a loss for Chris Hughton’s men could mean back-to-back group stage elimination from the AFCON.

While some are brimming with expectations, one Ghanaian fan has given up on the team’s chances as he blasted the team and Mohammed Kudus in particular following the loss to Cape Verde.

Ghana missed influential forward Kudus, with the West Ham man absent with a hamstring niggle, but the 23-year-old forward should be fully fit for the tie against the Pharaohs.

Ayew brothers are a curse

Meanwhile, Andre and Jordan Ayew have been targeted by fans following Ghana’s surprise loss to Equatorial Guinea, with some speculating that both players have been a curse to the Black Stars, GOAL reports.

Angry fans took to social media to express their disappointment, with some blaming the “Ayew brothers” as the reason the Black Stars have been unsuccessful in recent years.

Ghana has failed to win a senior title since 1982, and the Black Stars look likely to continue their drought after having a rough start to their AFCON 2023 campaign.

Ghanaian mascot reacts after loss

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that the Ghanaian national team's mascot, dressed in team colours, was seen carrying a blazing terracotta pot on his head, apparently shaken by the Black Stars' loss.

The mascot's facial expression sparked a wave of comments on social media as some fans joked that he had a headache after carrying the terracotta pot while watching the defeat.

A costly defensive mistake by Mohammed Salisu led to a late goal from Rodrigues just two minutes before full-time as Ghana suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 loss.
