When A Player Bcomes Bigger Than The Country..pathetic Case Of Ghana & Boateng by yoji: 12:07am On Oct 16, 2013
When Ghana qualified for d last world cup in south Africa, Kevin prince boateng saw a chance to play at the world cup cos he was never going to make it into the German senior team, so he switched allegiance to Ghana to realise the aim. Furthermore he used it as a platform to re launch his club career as A.C. Milan signed him up after he was relegated with portsmouth b4 d tournament.all of a sudden, he retired from international football citing an in ability to combine club and national assignments at the age of 24!
The president of d Ghana football federation and the then coach made trips to Milan to convince him to re consider but he refused and as such missed 2 editions of the nations cup where Ghana finished a consecutive 3rd place positions.
All of a sudden d final play off stages for d world cup is upon us and boom he's made a u-turn and is ready to play for Ghana again and Ghana seems to want him back. This is very sad and symptomatic of Africa's pathetic position in football.can this happen anywhere else?
With or without him, Ghana will not better their previous position in south Africa cos this team is weaker, so why throw a country's pride and dignity to the dogs cos of a player who will re-retire again after riding ghanian sweat to the carnival in Rio next year.
