Thank u my brother. FIFA is being racist. It is taking the safety and for that matter the lives of Ghanaian fans, players and officials for granted. The pain is that we seem to be urging them on. Egypt is in a state of turmoil. The situation on the ground and the mood and actions of Egyptian football fans in the event of another loss to Ghana on home soil is unpredictable. Any assurances and guarantees of safety by anyone is a hoax given the context of daily happenings in Egypt. Yet instead of Ghanaian officials standing by principle and insisting that FIFA change the match venue, the Black man seem to have sucked it up again already. If I were a Ghanaian player, aka KPB, I will turn down the invitation to play. And if our officials 'got any balls' between their legs we should boycott this match. Let the Egyptians go to the world cup. That will restore some dignity for the black man. After all we still remember what happened to the Togolese on their way to Angola 3 years ago. FIFA or soccer did not bring any dead player back.

yes you are right,if we can score them 6-1 at home so can they also score us 7-1 in the home soil. If complacency take place on our part.

Why would Ahinful think the BS are not focused on the match.. If they didn't speak out on security, which at this point is very important, you would be here saying the BS should focus on security. Just STFU!!

Why do you insult Ahinful for being honest to all of us. We better prepare well for the second tie irrespective of the venue. It is safe to play in Cairo. All we need is the GFA to prepare the boys well.

THE FEAR OF THE BLACK STARS IN THE HEARTS OF THE EGYPTIANS IS ENORMOUS. THEY ONLY WANT TO SEE THE TEAM THAT ROCKED 6 PAST THEIR TEAM. LET'S GO AND SHOW THEM THAT WE ARE A "JOSHUA GENERATION" TEAM. NO FEARS AT ALL

Pinhead the Place is not safe thats why the captain of the team want venue change for his team mate and supportors of the team. Have you even Heard just a gun short in your Life Before?

Look at your grammar, and compare it to Ahinful's grammar, and see who is the real pinhead.

3 friends an Nigerian,Ivorian and Ghanaian bet each other $100 who could make their wife scream more from sex. The next day the first one who is a Nigerian said "I made love to my Ethiopian wife for 2 hours and she screamed for at least an hour and a half!" The next one who is an Ivorian said he licked his wife a Senegalese for 2 hours and she screamed the whole time plus a half hour after that! The 3rd one said "that's nothing. I made love to my Egyptian wife in Kumasi for ten minutes, I came a couple times, then I wiped my dick in the curtain, and she's still screaming!"

The boys have to stay focused and concentrate on winning the next game.
Let the GFA, FIFA and Egyptian FA worry about the security and the venue.

I believe FIFA will take the right decision.

With all the concerns that's been raised in the past weeks, I believe that Coach Kwasi Appiah has mapped out his strategy ahead of the November 19 encounter. I believe our coach is aiming at another victory in Egypt or wherever FIFA may instruct us to play. And I believe that Mr. Kwesi Nyantakyi and his GFA team have also locked horns with Prez. Sepp Blatter in Zurich to settle matters regarding the safety of Ghana's contingent to Egypt. As I mentioned earlier, all of us should try to post our petitions to FIFA HQ in Zurich, Switzerland so they may listen and consider moving the return game to a safer venue.

For those who want to send letters in future, this is the address: FIFA Strasse 20, Zurich, Switzerland. Letters should be addressed to FIFA's boss or Secretariat that way our voices could pique their interest for the necessary action to be taken. GFA cannot do it alone. The only condition is that letters must be formal and all correspondence should be professional and concise.

MR. ARHINFUL, THE SAFETY OF OUR PLAYERS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE GAME. AND REMEMBER THAT IF WE BEAT THEM AGAIN, OR EVEN IF IN THE END WE QUALIFY AHEAD OF THEM,OUR BOYS AND OUR SUPPORTERS WOULD BE IN DANGER IN CAIRO. LOOK, ALUTA BY ARAB YOUTH IS NOT LIKE THE ONES WE SEE IN GHANA OKAY. GFA MUST NOT STOP THE PROTEST AT ALL BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A MATTER FOR JOKES. REMEMBER, INCESSANT HECKLING,JEERS AND TAUNTS CAN COST US A HEAVY DEFEAT.

What are you people worried about? They have to score 5 goals to qualify..and the last time I checked the size of the football field is the same everywhere..it should not matter
