Before you started the match, I was more confident you were going to beat Colombia than the USA.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason is this, when Ghana is facing tough oppositions, we play well. Colombia is a tough opposition and we beat them, but somehow there is this thing that as for USA don\u2019t worry we are going to beat them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe word here is complacency. It showed even in the first half. Well done but still this is a big lesson we all must learn,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Ocquaye, who visited the team after the match motivated them by praising the squad for their quality, adding that they were \u201dgoing to become the greatest Black Stars ensemble ever and so you will taste some defeat\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Ocquaye explained to the team that Ghana still supports them \u201cunconditionally\u201d regardless of the results.<\/p>\n<p>Ghana\u2019s next game is on Thursday October 12, 14:30 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium against host India.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: -1 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soccer News of Wednesday, 11 October 2017 Source: ghananewsagency.org 2017-10-11 Mike Ocquaye Jnr, Ghana\u2019s High Commissioner to India &#13;
