Dreams FC has conceded 14 goals this season, excluding the 3 in Kumasi now, but their defender Philemon Baffour still finds himself in the Black Stars AFCON squad.
infact they have the weakest defence in the Ghana Premier League, surprisingly has the best defender in the league— Chief Seidu Adamu ???????? (@Chiefseiduadamu) December 21, 2021
The Black Stars won’t win anything with this squad

I’m wondering why Ghana black Stars leading striker is Jordan ayew. A player has just scored just a goal in 13 month.
Meanwhile we have yahaya Mohammed and many better strikers who are performing will— Akrasi Benjamin (@akrasi360) December 21, 2021
Ah at Valladolid, CK Akonnor called him for the game against SA in Cape Coast. I think this was 2019 and he rejected it. He’s been rejecting call ups till now. Which U23 did he want to play if you’re rejecting Black Stars

Salis Abdul Samed is one player I am so happy seeing in the Black Stars squad. If you are someone who follows Ghanaian players abroad like I do, you would appreciate his inclusion in the team by Milovan Rajevac.
Congrats Salis. pic.twitter.com/xu8GzpPaQP

Why the fuss?
It’s not like there are some better players somewhere who haven’t been called up. As for Philemon Baffour, I can only assume he serves a living ‘god’. pic.twitter.com/llWpL2aGrU— Hans Mensah Andoh (@hansandoh) December 21, 2021

Philemon Baffour cannot fail as a footballer. oh no he can’t. The foundation has been laid for him. The support, the criticisms, everything that happens around him. The expectations are so high that he must win at least 3 Fifa world best awards. he cannot fail Ghanaians.
