He added that officials of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) should stop interfering in the selection of players for the team.
“Four takeaways from this defeat; We need a proper coach with technical know-how. The GFA Executives need to stop interfering in team selection,” parts of the MP’s tweet read.
The MP, however, indicated that Ghanaians can find some solace in the fact that Uruguay has also exited the tournament.
“Even if we lost, we are going home with Uruguay,” Sam George said.
The Black Stars were eliminated from the 2022 FIFA World Cup after losing by 2-0 to Uruguay in their final match of the group stages.
Giorgian de Arrascaeta's two goals for Uruguay were not enough to get them through to the next round of the tournament as South Korea beat Portugal 2-1.
The Black Stars had a slow start in the game as Uruguay was on fire from the blast of the whistle.
However, Ghana's first chance in the game which fell to Jordan Ayew nearly saw him score but Sergio Rochet pulled a good save which saw Kudus go in for a rebound.

4. Now can our government officials come back home to their real jobs.
Black Stars Coach Otto Addo
