Dr Tony Aubyn, a member of the Ghana FA executive committee, has claimed that it is unnecessary for anyone to call on the Ghana FA to apologize for the Black Stars' dismal performance at the World Cup, given that even giants Germany were booted out of the Group stage.
The Black Stars of Ghana exited the tournament early after Uruguay beat Ghana 2-0 on 2nd December at the Al Janoub Stadium.
Ghana won one group game against South Korea at the Education City Stadium and was beaten 3-2 by Portugal in the first group game on the 24th of November.
Black Stars coach Otto Addo announced his resignation after the Uruguay game.
“I will not speak for the GFA on whether to apologise or not but personally, this is a World Cup we failed to qualify in the past years,” he told Akoma 87.9 FM.
“In our previous participation at the World Cup, two were successful and the other two including this one didn’t go well. We just have to learn from our mistakes and avoid the talk of whether to apologise to Ghanaians or not,”
Even the favorites, Germany, were booted out, according to the GFA ExCo member, who questioned whether they, too, need to apologize.
“The materials available was what the coaches used, the FA did everything right (via motivation), we just didn't do well. Will the Germany also apologize for their exit?"
“Because people tipped them(Germany) as favorite but were eliminated, they told themselves it's a building process same as Morocco.We just need to give our players the needed time since we are building,"
