Teammates Kevin-Prince Boateng and Sulley Muntari were sent home from the World Cup last week ahead of Ghana's final group stage game against Portugal.

Now Boateng has spoken about the shambles that was Ghana's World Cup campaign.

It took 19 hours for them to travel from Amsterdam to their training camp in Miami.

We flew to the first training camp from Amsterdam to Miami. However, we travelled in two groups, since there was no space. One group flew through Atlanta, the other New York. We sat for around nine hours at the airport - a total of 19 hours on the road.

The following week they had a 12 hour economy class flight from Miami to Brazil while the Ghanaian FA president enjoyed all business class had to offer.

The flight from Miami to Brazil a week later took 12 hours and we sat and concentrated in economy class. The legs ached. It sounds strange for an average citizen, but for a competitive athlete that is a disgrace. The Ghana FA president sat in business class with his wife and two children.

A footballer not having boots at a World Cup. Not ideal really.

And then in Brazil, we finally had a charter flight but my luggage was lost. Two days without football boots – it was a disaster.

Finally, he intimated some details about the in-camp squabbles.

There were two or three players who were just glad Sulley Muntari and I were suspended. They said it to my face. We all know that I have never insulted the coach. Nevertheless, they have turned the manager against Sulley and me. I am very calm and relaxed, because I definitely know that I did no such thing.
