The Black Stars have returned home
from Brazil after their first round exit
in the 2014 World Cup.
The team touched down at about 2pm
GMT on Sunday 29th June but there
were no usual cheers and crowds to
welcome them back and the players
were even on the quiet as they were
not too eager to speak to the press.
Rather, they quickly boarded the
team and departed for their hotel.
However, captain Asamoah Gyan
spoke to the press and apologised to
fans for the displays of the team in
Brazil that were not good enough to
give them a second round place.
The contingent that arrived at the
Kotoka International Airport had
about 17 players of the original 23-
man team.
While Sulley Muntari and Kevin-
Prince Boateng had already been
expelled from the team in Brazil for
disciplinary reasons, Adam Kwarasey,
Michael Essien, Christian Atsu, and
Albert Adomah went straight to their
European bases.
Ghana failed to record a single win in
Group G from the three matches
played against the United States,
Germany and Portugal.
The run in Brazil was blighted by
player demands for their appearance
fees and the eventual airlifting of 3
million US Dollars to resolve the
issue and alleged altercation between
Sulley Muntari and a member of the
Black Stars Management Committee.
Meanwhile, some supporters have
also arrived in Accra. They included
some government officials, officials of
the headline sponsor of the Black
Stars, GNPC, and ambassadors for
Ghana’s campaign in the World Cup.
