    The players need to play where their minds will be at rest and focused on the match, not where there is maximum security presence which in itself is a distraction!!

  • Omanba kwaku 11 years ago

    William , you are right. What is comprehensive security when their own kind is being killed every hour? GFA better insist on change in venue before they come telling stories with human sacrifice which cannot be replaced.

    Any signatures that endorse and accept that the game be played in Cairo (GFA, CAF, FIFA) should be at the stadium with their friends and families and at the same hotel until the blackstars leave. That will eliminate fears fro ...

    The world has gone 'bananas'. Why should Black Stars be sent to a lions den? Moshi supporters may do the unthinkable by firing a missile at the Stadium. Please do not make the trip to Egypt.

  • AKK 11 years ago

    Did the finder newspaper take anyone to Cairo, or did it just concoct this story like they do with their political stories? I very much doubt this story. A third of the Egytian population is Black.

  • Michael 11 years ago

    Please as a visitor to cairo i do not recommend the team playing there. I fear their safety. the situtation is far from secure. it should be played in morocco or sudan.

  • Rasheed@Rasheed anaaaaaa 11 years ago

    God has created human beings in his own image and you call such a person dog?You people are very gullible. This is a "cock and bull" stor ,created by GFA just to force FIFA to change the match venue.

    This is pure fabrication by GFA to force FIFA to change the venue of the return match. Is the story coming from Ghana Embassy in Cairo?

    Rasheed, I think ,even if we win the W/C, you would not be happy. Are you really a Ghanaian or what. You knew definitely that Egypt is not safe for the return match, but you insist for Ghanaians to go there. Do you want to h ...
