I am still reliving the Black Stars disastrous showing against Mexico on Wednesday, and I am beside myself with grief over the manner of the 2:1 loss.Was it strange that the Black Stars lost? No it was not. At least it was not the first time the team was losing a match, not least to the Mexicans who ran away with a 1:0 win two years earlier.Was it then strange that the Black Stars conceded two goals within the last 13 minutes of the scrappy game? Certainly not! Our own Samuel Osei Kufuor's streamy tears in defeat at the hands of Manchester United while he played at Bayern Munich is a great lesson for us all; football is won only after the final whistle, not even in 90 minutes!My beef with the loss, (or rather my bone), rests squarely with the entire team, coach Claude Le Roy and in a large measure, substitute goalkeeper Patrick Antwi.The entire team had a poor attitude to the game, displaying some air of superiority at the very team that once beat them, and for Le Roy, his growing desire for defensive play while his heart continues to sink low when he must make a decision to pull out any of the established members of the team.As for Patrick Antwi, he has himself to blame for blowing a fine opportunity to keep a jersey for himself in the national teams. As things stand now, something monumentally enterprising and convincing will be the only key to open the doors for him again.
