Following the defeat, football fans reacted angrily to the performance of the team.
No serious coach will invite Gideon Mensah to play for the national team

We are in 2024 and a player who plays and scores Man City in a Champions League comes and sits on the bench for us
Then we throw in a washed player, man what wrong did we do to deserve this pain? Why?

We couldn’t manage a decent performance against Cape Verde.
You’re not ready for the haramball you’re about to see against Egypt.

This is on Chris Hughton!
Poor selection, poor substitutions and overall poor game management.
He settled for a draw a long way from full time, instead of looking for a win.
We’ve fallen off so badly!

The relationship between the Black Stars of Ghana and their supporters is showing classic signs of a toxic relationship. The fans are always the givers and the Black Stars the receivers… there is no reciprocation.#AFCON2023
