  Kofi Adams, the Sports Minister, who does not understand sports. Fifa pays appearance fees to participating countries meant for the players. Is he going to invest that cast in a hausa kooko and koose business for himself? Is this the same one who wants to impose 'spent' cartridge shells on the coach?

  I and my family, my people from today will vote NDC, this is a serious government. The president is gradually writing a history for himself, bravo Mr. President and Mr. Minister. I support this decision and I am very happy

  Don't even start any thing to derail the good chemistry in the team.
  We are so corrupt we dont even think before talking. Where is the motivation for the players if the appearnce fees from FIFA is scrapped?

  DKC, good point there. I was thinking same. Let's hope and pray that is not what we are thinking otherwise this minister will be reshuffled.

  Why can't we ever go to the world cup without any incident of some corrupt activity? The minister has to come again to clarify his statement to avoid any problems in the camp of the Black Stars.

  These ministers forget that they brag about victory and even campaign on victory when Ghana Blackstars win their watches. The Ghana Blackstars is a national brand. Its bigger than any individual

  There is no hiding here because it is the same DKC posting same. FIFA appearance fee cannot be scrapped. All players are entitled to it . Have you heard of any country trying to scrapp it , if not Ghana, now? What does that even mean scrapping a motivation for players to do their best at the highest level of soccer competition if you claim you are a football nation?
  
  Apart from the appearance fee, every qualifying country is entitled to a huge million $ amount for infrastructural development.
  
  Your Blackstars are currently in Austria and training in their national Soccer facility.
  
  Do you have some in Ghana? How many times have you been to the World Cup and how much have been given to you for infrastructural development?
  Prrrrrrr...its a shame ....Upon all of this missing million $s, you still want to scrapp appearnace fees for players?
  
  its a non starter. Don't even go there. You don't even need to contemplate that to breakdown the motivation in Camp.

  The appearance fee is part of the reasons why they want to go with their so called loyal players instead of calling capable players
