Black Stars: We need to be more aggressive with officials - Semenyo 

Antoine Semenyo, a Ghana forward, believes it is time he and his teammates stopped being nice towards match officials following the game against England. He stated, "Funny you mention that because we actually talked about it in training today. As players, we need to dangle around the referee and complain." This comes after match officials failed to check and review possible penalties for the Black Stars for the second time in a row, specifically after Prince Adu Kwabena was fouled in the draw against the Three Lions. Ezri Konsa fouled the Ghanaian forward in the box when he was through on goal, with no attempt to play the ball.

Kwabena's subsequent attempts to score came off Semenyo in an offside position, prompting the referee to award the latter while ignoring the first incident. Semenyo, a Manchester City star, was right next to the incident and was the first to put his hand up because he had a clear view of it. He believes that as a team, they need to be more aggressive around the officials, and players need to stay down a bit longer if they are fouled. The coach is also on the touchline putting pressure on the fourth official. The Black Stars currently sit on four points together with England in Group L. Their final group game against Croatia is on Saturday, June 27.
