Strasbourg forward Majeed Waris has disclosed his most "memorable" game ever and this happens to be a game of international football.
Waris has picked the 6-1 thrashing of Egypt in Kumasi as the match he holds most dear.
He has made 31 appearances and scored four goals for the Black Stars since making his debut in February 2012 as Ghana played a 1-1 draw with Chile.
The former Nantes striker scored one and provided two assists in the 6-1 win over the Pharaohs on home soil.
"I think it was a national team game, Ghana against Egypt in the qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. We beat Egypt 6-1 and that took us to the World Cup," the 29-year-old told Get French Football News.
"A few Ghanaians were worried we were going to lose the game because Egypt had a very good team. We were playing in Ghana, it was great weather, a nice pitch and the stadium was unbelievable.
"It was crazy. We ended up beating them 6-1, I scored and then I think I set up two goals – the country went crazy."
On his omission from the team by coach Kwesi Appiah at the 2019 Afcon staged in Egypt, he continued, "For me, I think it’s always good to play for your nation if you have the opportunity because you can always count yourself lucky if your whole country is calling on you to play for them. You are lucky."
"I feel like I’ve played quite a lot of games, at the beginning, I used to be very happy any time there was a national team game coming up but I’ve grown up to understand that there’re a lot of politics around the national team when it comes to selecting players for the tournaments.
"That made me realise a lot of things and lose a bit of interest because the selection is not based on your merit, it’s only based on politics. I feel like this is not very good because it’s affecting the nation as well.”
