Ghana coach, Chris Hughton says he must be blamed for Black Stars' 4-0 defeat to the United States of America (USA).

The West African country were hammed heavily by the US Men's national team at the Geodis Park in Nashville.

Speaking after the abject performance, Hughton apologized for the performance to Ghanaians and acknowledged his role in the loss.

“I am very conscious of what the game means in Ghana I am very conscious. For any performance that we put in like we did today or the score line that we did today, we are very sorry. I take responsibility for this. I work with a group of players and I determined the tactics I picked for the team.

“It is my responsibility to make sure that we have two games in November…we start to see a performance that is going to win us both games.”

Ghana commences its 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification in November with games scheduled against Madagascar and Comoros.
