  • Rasheed. 11 years ago

    Despite my lack of confidence in wimpy appiah and our mediocre team,yet, I believe we beat Niger hands down!.

  • The Stallion 11 years ago

    This is the first time you have faced realities, Mr. Rasheed. Good show!
    Meanwhile, I don't know why this story was allowed to be published.

    BULLSHIIT, NONSENSE, Stupid and unprofesional stomach journalist

  • OZA 11 years ago

    If they call this victory a "scandal", let them do so. It provides a "slur" for whoever believes it. After all who is this Dankwa? Is he an Osei Kofi, a Ronaldo, Pele or an Essien or Ayew?? Bull!!!

  • THIS IS NONSENSE! 11 years ago

    With Kofi Dankwa or without, Ghana can beat Niger up to about 7 goals to nothing so I don't see any reason why Ghana will spent even a bottle of beer on this. Makes no sense. Even if they went out or communicated so what?

    To start with, how on earth should a full blooded Ghanaian, who was born, fed, schooled and played for the Satellites take on the citizenship of Niger? It's just like a USA born taking on the citizenship of Eritrea, for what? ...

  • Africanus 11 years ago

    The Nigerian coach shouldn't have featured Dankwa in the match against Ghana. Dankwa didn't need to be bribed, he is naturally inclined to want Ghana to win over Niger.

  • Mr.N 11 years ago

    Just like we should not have allowed Serbian coach Milo to be on the touch line when we did play Serbia his naturally inclined would have been that he had wanted Serbia to win. When you are a professional you do a professiona ...

    The only good player on the Niger side, is their captain, Masood or whatever his name is. The entire team is rusty and how could have beaten the Black Stars? This allegation is the most stupid I have ever heard.
