He should have slapped Nyantakyi and his gangsters for keeping the money in their stinky pockets
Wouldn't fault him if he had descended on them with a machine gun. They are all pieces of shit.
The name is APPEARANCE MONEY, in this case the moment the team qualified to take part in the world cup, the FIFA eight million dollars to the team was guaranteed and the moment GFA decided to pay them $75,000 each, they could ...

No, you are wrong Africans are governed by brainless idiots not bastards. Sometimes, I wonder how thought process work……..
Now we all know that is not the Government duty to pay appearance fee. Indeed Government is barred from interfering in football matters. Now Fifa has owned up. The shame is on you and your preposterous criticisms
The black man is capable of mismanaging his own affairs!!!!
Fifa, we want.to get rid of nyantakyi and aa and we don't care about the ramifications. We want to imposed tony baffoe as fa head and desailly as coach, abedi Pele as sports minister with immediate effect!
It's a disgrace to the entire nation.
And so what?!!!
And so suck my dick asshole
SARPONG YOU ARE SO STUPID THAT SOMETIMES I HAVE NO WORD TO DISCRIBE YOU. STUPID IDIOT YOUR PARTY HAS DONE BY DITCHING YOU FROM OFFICE. ABOABA WO MAAME TWE

SHAME GHANA SHOULDN'T HAVE GONE THIS WAY
WHAT ARE ALL THE WAMPAHS AND AMISSAH-ARTHURS AND THE EXECUTIVE DOING AT ALL---THE SETH TERKPERS
It's very true, the black person is incapable of using his brain. Am ashamed being a Ghanaian, am ashamed. Am truly ashamed.
African countries and African leaders are not to be trusted. Thes boys sensed something fishy. Before Ghana, other African countries did same. So shy ashamed? "If you dont sell your sickness, you will not get medicine".
This the difference between obroni and bibini management styles. A contract is a contract is a contract. You see why we have been paying judgment debts?
The most useless race in the world.People who think of money more than anything in the world.Place a child and money and ask black to select one,the black will first take the money and then take the child and sell the child a ...

When shall the MAJORITY of the Blacks in POSITIONS of Trust do anything worth praising ??
That is rubbish.bola,gabbage. batch of lies trying to manipulate situations. Corrupt referees.
FIFA says no government interference with football, so what FIFA must do is pay footballers directly from now on.
If there is any money to pay the association, then they can pay them separately minus the players money.
WE AFRICANS ALWAYS SAYS WE ARE DEMOCRATIC I CAN TELL YOU WE ARE NOT WE NEED WHITE PEOPLE TO GOVERNING US AGAIN.NDC IS A BAD GOV'T THIEVES MUMS AND PAPA,BRO'S AND SISTERS LET US KICK THEM OUT.
You FIFA had made the associations president's demi-gods who can't be removed whilst, they're wasting the African game of soccer,our monies and precious time.

In Africa our leaders are so corrupt that ,it would always be better for the world football body to pay the players directly instead of relying on these looters. Any player should expect his money from FIFA directly.
