Appiah Calls for Greater Commitment from Black Stars Players.

Former Black Stars captain Stephen Appiah has urged players of Ghana’s national football team to show more dedication when representing the country. Recently, many Ghanaians have criticized the Black Stars for not exhibiting the same level of commitment they display when playing for their respective clubs, particularly following underwhelming performances in both the World Cup and the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournaments.Speaking to Parliament’s Sports Select Committee, Appiah emphasized that playing for the national team is a privilege, one that should not be taken lightly.

Michael Essien Reflects on Career: No Regrets Despite Injuries with Black Stars.

Former Ghanaian football star Michael Essien has shared that his most severe injuries happened while representing the Black Stars. Despite the setbacks, Essien holds no resentment towards the national team, where he played in two World Cups, including Ghana’s debut in 2006, and helped secure a third-place finish at the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).The first significant injury occurred in a friendly against Senegal in 2007, followed by a knee injury during a match against Libya in 2008, which sidelined him for much of that year’s UEFA Champions League group stage.
