its a very difficult situation,i can undstnd both sides but challenging fifa time is gone.
lets stop the distraction and the propaganda and finish the job.fifa is a big authority and im sure they've done their homework,i shudnt think,i shud know but I think and hope the players would be safe.
its the Ghanaian fans i'll advice 2 stay at home as a precaution,not good for the match of that magnitude but its not goin to help with a little more than a week 2 go.

This is a fabricated story devised by Egyptian interests seeking to play mind games with Ghana ahead of the match. I will not be surprised if a Nigerian was behind this mischief.

Which of the Stars has expressed anxiety to whom? Have they not all been saying that they will win the match against Egypt? This fake story ought to be deleted from this website at once! But as usual, black Africans are prepared to destroy one another at any cost.

It is easy to sit behind a computer and write your mind. One one hand you say players will be safe but supporters should stay home. What kind of good environment can be this bias toward two different groups? The same environment should be good for both supporters and team. what is Fair Play by FIFA when a team can celebrate well after a goal because there is no one to celebrate with when everyone is against you. Have your seen the youtube video of the attacks on players and fans IN THE STADIUM in Egypt that led to the cancellation of their league? why dont you go with them and feel safe? One should not play a game with fear that after a good win their lives will be at stake. Those security personnel can reduce in number to afford an attack after the game. You have to also remember, they are not just driving from the airport to the stadium to play and back right after. I remember due to scheduling conflicts Zambia had to train on the parking lot of the Baba Yara stadium. I hope the black stars dont have to subject themselves to similar incidents to expose themselves.

Supporters are going to Cairo, sleep in their hotels, go to the game and come back to Ghana. As long as they keep together as a group and stay in their hotels and only come out to go to the game, there should be no problems. To ask the supporters not to travel is sending the wrong message to the players. We should stop this negativity and behave like the gallant men that we are and face the game without any fears. I would go to Cairo and watch this game without blinking an eyelid. Come on guys, where is our bravery?, we are not sending an army to enter enemy territory to fight a war, we are sending a sporting congregation to go and play a game of football. Lets stop the over analysis and get on with this game, come on.

AS USUSAL, OUR "BUSY ABOUT NOTHING" OFFICIALS OF GHANA'S GFA AND MINISTRY OF YOUTH & SPORTS ARE JUST CREATING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR FREE JOY RIDES PLUS COOL "PER DIEMS" FOR SHOPPING AFTER "MEETING" FACE-TO-FACE WITH SEPP BLATTER AND FIFA.

GHANA'S USELESS "LEADERS" BEHAVE AS THOUGH OUR COUNTRY DOES NOT HAVE ANY FINANCIAL AND BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS WHATSOEVER.

OH!! WHAT A COUNTRY CALLED GHANA AND ITS VISIONLESS "LEADERSHIP"!!!

WHAT'S THE POINT IN TRAVELLING TO MEET WITH FIFA "FACE-TO-FACE" OSTENSIBLY TO SEEK "SECURITY GUARANTEES"?

THAT'S NONSENSE!!!

FIFA, AS WE ALL KNOW, WOULD LIKE TO SHOW WHO THE BOSS IS BY REMAINING INTRANSIGENT. NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT!!!

THIS PROTEST SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE BY GHANA'S LAZY USELESS LEADERS RIGHT FROM DAY ONE WHEN THE DECISION WAS MADE BY FIFA TO PLAY THE RETURTN LEG IN VOLATILE EGYPT.

HEI! GFA AND SPORTS COUNCIL "LEADERS", IT'S TOO LATE NOW TO MEET FACE-TO-FACE WITH FIFA TO SEEK "SECURITY GUARANTEES".

JUST GO TO EGYPT AND GET SHOT IN THE FACE BY EGYPTIAN FOOTBALL HOOLIGANS, BLACK FOOLS!!

THAT WILL SERVE YOU RIGHT, FOOLS!!!

SO IN THIS 21ST CENTURY COMPUTER AGE, GHANA GOVERNMENT AND GFA STILL DO NOT HAVE TELE-CONFERENCING FACILITIES FOR SUCH WORTHLESS LAST-MINUTE "MEETINGS" JUST TO SEEK "SECURITY GUARANTEES" FROM FIFA?

GHANA'S LEADERS SHOULD CONTINUE "CHOPPING" GHANA'S MONEY ON SUCH FRIVOLOUS TRIPS.

WE SHALL ALL SWIM IN THE SHIT!!

You are very ignorant. You obviously havent followed the story until now, yet you make bold statements of accusation. Seriously, how ignorant. GFA has taken all the right steps since this venue was announced. Letters have gone to the UN and all necessary avenues all in a timely manner and according to what the politics surrounding the situations requires. This face to face meeting is one of the last resorts to fix the problem. If you have not followed the news dont criticize. Hold your peace.

With all honesty, it is not wort any Ghanaian live to travel to a nation such as Egypt at this specific time.

Those who are like people should go, you go yourselves. Cairo is unsafe and most western nations have warned their nationals to travel and what do some stupid supporters union do? Want to go to Egypt.

Do you know why someone will be willing to harm our players? Just to ask for attention on their situation. They will try something just to seek PR!! Morons!

I believe GFA should not travel....because making this decision will give them much more respect from the whole world than going there and something happen with even 1 Ghanaian and getting bad publicity!

There are Egyptians living in Ghana so why worry ?
Go to that country and give them a very good lesson on the pitch.FIFA is watching and we are all following the developments with very keen interest.

What about the ambush of the Touareg from Mali ? What about Al qaieda sympathy for the Toureg ?

Why is Blatter gambling with Ghanaian lives . What happens before, during, and after the match ?
What happens to the Black Stars players psychologically if gun fire and demonstrations are heard before , during and after the match ?

What happens if there is a counter coup and the military is overthrown, whilst Black Stars and fans are in Cairo.

Blatter shd not lead us into temptation . Nonsense

It is not so much that Egypt has any problem with Ghana. What is happening in Egypt is their internal politics, and Ghana has played no part. The issue however, is this:if Ghana beats them there, their anger and frustration may turn against our players and supporters. There may be a kind of momentary trnsferred malice against our people. In case we lose there and either qualify or eliminated, there will certainly be no problem. This scenario, though possible, but not probable. It is a remote possibility. All those sounding the caution are not talking about any problem between Egyptians and Ghanaians, but the likely transferred malice as a result of their frustration and pain from their humiliation and non qualification. This is the issue, and we must take it serious.

Attention Black Stars and GFA some enimies of progress are at work here.Who the hell wrote these reports I want the Ghana Police to look for these writer and have him oe her arrested immediately.Because these are all false news yes Mr Nyankatachi made those stupid remarks about supporters,but we are going in thousands bcos thanks to Alhaji Grushah who put more lght on the issue we are Ghanaians coming to support our team and we have nothing political with Egypt,their problem is with their govt not Ghana or the Black Stars.,And they knew that the best team won in Kumasi and we treated them with love and respect and even feel bad for their polical situasion,but this is soccer we have to go to the worldcup.The writer of this article is an enemy of the state for and should be detain and questioned on who told him what and findout if he is a Ghanaian,bcos these article paint Ghana negative as if we cannot play a game in even Syria with crazyness going on yes we are ready.Yes the boys have come a long way to turn back now,we shall go to Egypt and beat Egypt once more in their own backyard no matter the crazy crowd or intimidation.The whole world is watching.Guys go and no fear beat Egypt and play like you need a win inorder to go to Brazil,you are top rated players frm Ghana make us proud once more you have just 90mins to Brazil,no joke,no fear we are praying for you,forget these stupid writer who should be arrest for insightng fear mongering while we have all the advantages of going to the worldcup
