2026 WC: Thomas-Asante played when it was necessary - Carlos Queiroz
Carlos Queiroz explained Brandon Thomas-Asante's limited involvement at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, stating the forward was used "when it was necessary." Thomas-Asante, a Coventry City striker, provided an assist in a 1-0 win over Panama in Ghana's opening group match. His influence was limited thereafter, featuring for only 20 minutes in the 2-1 defeat to Croatia and not playing at all in the Round of 32 loss to Colombia.
Queiroz acknowledged his side were second best in the defeat to Colombia, stating, "I am disappointed with the result because the boys work hard, they tried their best, but the reality is that on the day, especially in the passing and controlling of the game, the Colombia team was better." Ghana's World Cup campaign ended after Jhon Arias' first-half goal secured a 1-0 victory for Colombia. The Black Stars had progressed from the group stage after finishing third in Group L before bowing out at the first knockout hurdle.
