Going to the World Cup on three occasions is a massive achievement and the fact that the Under-20 won the World Cup (in 2009) was also a massive achievement,\u201d Yeboah told Accra-based Starr FM.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Unfortunately in the last few years, a lot appears to be going wrong and unless something drastic happens, then I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The issue of matches of convenience (must be looked at). It is very convenient for administrators to play the ostrich and pretend everything is fine.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Those of us with roots in football know that everything is not fine. If I want to be uncharitable I would tell you that our league can be very filthy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s rotten. There are too many matches that are predetermined and easy for the GFA to tell you to bring the evidence. But, if you have the eyes you can see.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"related_articles\" style=\"width: 100%;\" readability=\"5.565625\">\n<div style=\"clear: both; font-size: 90%; background-color: #eeeaea; padding: 5px; width: 60%; margin-top: 10px;\" readability=\"6.85\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ghanaweb.com\/NewsArchive\/newsclick.php?ID=9924\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" readability=\"1\">\n<tr readability=\"2\">\n<td style=\"border:0; padding:0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.ghanaweb.com\/imagelib\/pics\/96124592.jpg\" style=\"padding-right:2px;\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:0; padding:0;width:100%; vertical-align:middle; font-size:11px;\">Courtesy of <b>GHANAsoccernet.com<\/b> &#8211; Ghana&#8217;s leading football news website.
