Ghanaian footballer Mohammed Kudus has voiced his frustration with criticism from some compatriots on social media regarding his performance in the matches against Mali and the Central African Republic (CAR) on June 10, 2024.
Despite high expectations, Kudus encountered difficulties during both games, leading to scrutiny from some Ghanaian fans who called for him to improve his performance and avoid complacency. In response, Kudus has asked fans to refrain from discussing his performance and instead choose to remain silent.
One of the criticisms was, “You people should tell Kudus the truth. He’s not Messi, nor is he Ronaldo. He should stop doing too much and release the ball quickly.”
The West Ham United star replied, “Masa, be quiet!!!!!”

Kudus played a crucial role as Ghana secured a thrilling 4-3 victory against the Central African Republic in their fourth match of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Jordan Ayew’s hat-trick and a goal from Fatawu Issahaku secured the win for Ghana, while the Central African Republic’s star forward, Mafouta, also scored a hat-trick. With this victory, Ghana sits atop Group I with nine points from four games. However, the outcomes of the matches between Madagascar versus Mali and Chad versus Comoros could impact the group standings.
