GFA should contact FIFA seriously against playing any where in Egypt,bcos of the the political situation in that country.This are people(muslim brotherhood) who would not mind coming to attack our players just to get even with their military leaders,bcos they do not care and would want the worst to happen to their rulers leaders.We should insist on a neutral venue like it was suggested in your letter to FIFA

To avoid "had I know" go to a saffer avenue for the second leg. After all Egypt cannot win to qualify.

I was listening to ESPN commentators and was surprise hear how the Ghana team that defeated Egypt 6-1 made some basic mistakes.Like the goalkeeper not coming close to punch the long balls out or not concentrating 100%,and the Black Stars players coming in three's just tackle one player.According to the experts if you play against a good team one would be punished.So I hereby call on the coaching crew to watch the match again and fix any mistakes before the 2nd leg in Egypt or where ever it would be played.ESPN also spoke about Ghana defence,so pls try to fix any mistake bf we go,wishing the boys and Ghana God's blessings and the courage to beat Egypt once again and go to Brazil,pls guys do not play defensive put more pressure on Egypt and play your game,pressure is on Egypt,try to score

Some referees hold some countries in a high esteem, hence they favor their players in terms fouls, red cards and yellow cards, weakening the unfavored teams to play under potential fear of those penalties.

Ilike their style of play. Not formation but out of formular, yet potent in goal scoring from all angles.
Very difficult to read them, meaning unpredictable, just playing.

Ghanaians should not jubilate yet because we have to go to Egypt and play the second leg. Despite winning the first leg, we shouldn't be that swollen headed thinking that we have the upper hand. The Egyptians, during the group series, won all their matches by scoring more goals. They had a bad day in Ghana and who knows what awaits us in Egypt?

It will be unthinkable for us to lose five goals to nothing but soccer is a game and anything can happen. I am not being a pessimist but as I said, soccer is a game. I hope the coach having played for a long time, will see through the veil and ushered his men to go and kill the game. They should not be defensive minded as that will put the team under intense pressure to commit serious and unpardonable mistakes.

We have one leg in Brazil so, let's hope for the better. Good luck.

You must be optimistic about life. It will be a tall order for the Egyptians to over come their 6-1 defeat.

Tell you what FIFA, your bias is dumbfounding as well as it is a big joke. Ghana, Nigeria, Ivory Coast will beat most of the European teams ranked in the first 15 spots. Thank God the WC is just a few months away and we will see which teams in the so called top 10 will beat the three West African teams I mentioned above.

What does FIFA know about Ghana Football? They only speculate about Africans and their activities, which I think is unfortunate. I challenge FIFA to rethink thrice before ranking teams from Africa. We have quality players, like the European teams. Our African brothers are playing excellently in Europe. I would like any team in Europe to come to Ghana and play with Ghana Black Stars. Sure, they will experience bitter humiliation in the hands of the Ghana Black Stars. I personally do not trust the so called FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking that FIFA is so proud about. FIFA must be realistic about their rankings or else they will be considered unrealistic, unreasonable indeed. Some of the people at FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking, hold prejudice against African Football teams. Yes, I said it, and it is true. The perpetuate discrimination against African Footballers and their teams.

Please go easy on FIFA.African teams should pull their weight a little bit more.Is it not disheartening to see four out of five sides sent packing after group stage in WC tournaments? It looks like many an African team earns WC berth by defaults.Ghana is Great as a result of hard work,dedication,commitment,and determination - a normal corollary to success.

FIFA should understand that it would not be safe to play in Egypt because the country is at war. It is divide with one part doing all it can to bring down the current government. They would do all they can to make the encounter unsuccessful and that may put the lives of our players, officials and hundreds of supporters in danger.

I have been silently cursing(perhaps this is too strong a word) the FIFA for making out right group winners play the play offs instead of group runners up.Africa will lose some of its finest when the soccer fiesta begins in 2014 in Brazil.
A case in point is Ethiopia who has never appeared in any of the world cup meetings but were on the verge of qualifying through sheer hard work but had to play mighty Nigeria in this play off.To me this is not fair at all to Ethiopia.Another country that stands to lose out is Egypt who had to face Ghana only to be thrashed 6-1 when they could have qualified already.
Meanwhile in Europe, they know their winners and teams have already started the booking of hotels among other things
Finally, african teams involved in the play offs have to keep their fingers crossed hoping that their players do not get any injuries and wait for the various teams to release them when we all know the various leagues are gathering momentum and releasing of players is a big issue.SOME ONE REGISTER THEIR DISAPPROVAL TO THE CAF AND FIFA!!!!!

Look here guys FIFA can rank Ghana last in the African continent. But truly no African team will like to play the Black Stars now. From now on anytime the black stars want to win a game they can.
