Every Ghanaian is disappointed we did not qualify,\u201d Appiah told Happy FM.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut, the most important is, we as Ghanaian must sit down and analyze why we didn\u2019t qualify? Is it the ministry&#8217;s fault? Is it the Football Association? Is it the players? Is it the Coach? Is it the supporters or it is the media,\u201d the 57 year old queried.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we come together and access where the fault is, automatically we will be heading forward,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we don\u2019s access the situation, we can\u2019t find out where we are lacking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coach Kwesi Appiah then explained Egypt had a plan, which included having investors put in a lot of money in their qualifying campaign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEgypt for instance, had a plan, they had some many investors putting in some money that they had purposely to qualify for the world Cup,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, following the Black Stars absence for next year\u2019s mundial, the former Al- Khartoum Coach, who tasked with winning the 2019 Africa Cup of nations says the country must plan adequately if they are to make it to Qatar 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s all sit down as Ghanaians and plan the way forward for the next world and if we want to reach the quarters. We start from now so if we don\u2019t have money, we can find ways of soliciting for funds now and prepare adequately for Qatar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ghana missed out on the World Cup after three consecutive appearances starting 2006.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 71 updated by: 71 --><\/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>Sports News of Tuesday, 21 November 2017 Source: footballghana.com 2017-11-21 Black Stars Coach, Kwesi Appiah Black Stars Coach Kwesi Appiah insists Egypt qualified ahead of Ghana because they invested monies purposely to qualify for Russia 2018.
