As I watched the game between Ghana and Ivory Coast, I noticed the black stars did pretty awesome and should not be blamed for losing the cup to their opponent. Both sides were good, and they gave their all, both sides had a couple of chances which they could not convert to goals, and in the end, they had to resort to penalties to decide the winner of both sides.
However, I noticed some mistakes. I don’t know why the strikers did not play first before the defenders, and lastly, the goalkeeper, or perhaps they were all scared of the blames. Another one was when opponent managed to miss two penalties in a roll, that was the perfect timing and opportunity for the Ghana black stars to emerge winners but they followed suit and also missed two goals which got a little messy resulting in the goalkeepers having to play to decide the game.
Therefore, I do not like the fact that some people would blame the goalkeeper for the slightest mistake because he did not make any. Yes it is true that he could not make a save and missed his shot, but even the players who were supposed to score missed, so why should the goalkeeper whose job is to just catch the ball be blamed for not being able to score?
