It doesn't take a genius to realise a game of this magnitude will certainly set emotions of the loosing team flying. Fifa is putting our fans and players in harms way and every Ghanaian across the globe should protest. Imagine if it was England or Italy that was to play Egypt, do you think fifa will ever hesitate to change the venue? enough of hypocrisy!

Once in one's life one has to apply common sense just check the track record of Fifa we are wasting time and money for nothing we made our point move on. Stop wasting our money.

Ghfuo must start changing his thinking first.In what way do those you've mentioned have better brains than Nyantakyie?.With the exception of TOny Baffoe who speaks and writes good english,even with that he cannot compare himself to Nyantakyie.What does Abedi know? apart from being good on the field and good at creating division among players, due to jealousy.

You told GGHFUO to start changing his thinking, yet you decided to go LOWER than he did.

The rock in GHFUO's and RASHEED's eyes, the SPECK in others'.

Istanbul to Cairo would be less than 3hours flights. Our players are professionals and must have faced such challenges a couple of times. The movement timings, in my opinion, are the best security=wise.

Simple logic and FIFA is beating about the bush,if only about 200 supporters would be allowed to travel to Cairo for the match then definately something is wrong with the security of that Country and FIFA should change the venue,is Fifa saying they can tell a country to send only 500 supportets to watch a match in come Brazil 2014 ?be fair and transparent FIFA human lives are at stake here for goodness sake .

If we take that route [ie if we refuse to play] Egypt will go to Brazil. This is 2-leg, it's not like the previous competition with 4 teams.

If you could afford not to play by giving up 3 goals then how will any team be allowed to over turn a 4 goal deficit?

Another Egyptian Strategy could be food and/or drink poisoning. Should this happen,they can score about 10-0 and go thru.

The FIFA president should personally be in Cairo to receive a Peace Award after the Ghana Egypt encounter on 19th November, 2013.

Yeah, that's how it should be! Congratulations to Hon. Sports Minister, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah and GFA boss, Kwasi Nyantakyi for their great efforts and everyone who sent their protest note to FIFA HQ in Zurich, Switzerland. Our voices need to be heard, because we CANNOT afford to shed a drop of blood in this return encounter with Egypt. We want our entire contingent to Egypt back wholesomely, just as they left Ghana. That's the bottom line! We should thank the Mighty Lord for listening to our prayers. We're aiming to win in Egypt; we're not afraid, as the Egyptians Pharaoh and his army believe. We're battle ready and that should be clear in their minds!

Coach Kwasi Appiah should instruct his players to aim at dominating the entire game (60-70%) possession. It's about playing total football. We can do lots of things with the ball, or control the game when we have greater possession.

We should also be mindful that the Egyptians have by now rehearsed about how to return the scores that they suffered in Kumasi. They've probably perfected lots of ways, including falling to the ground, that'll call for penalties or direct kicks around the "18" yard box of our end. We must avoid reckless tackles and unnecessary provocations ect. Let's play a clean game. We should shock them in front of their own fans.

let's hope the rowdy Egyptian crowd could exercise self-control for a fair and beautiful game on Nov. 19.

We cannot afford to put lives at risk due to the impudence of Sepp Blatter.

What is the US, UK, EU & Brazil saying about the likelyhood of trouble breaking out in Cairo, because Morsi supporters are going to demonstrate? What about playing at Wembley or at the San Sero as an alternative venue?

2. WILL FIFA INSIST A WORLD CUP QUALIFIER BETWEEN SWITZERLAND AND EGYPT BE PLAYED IN EGYPT IF THE MILITARY GOV'T AND THE FA GIVE ASSURANCE THAT THEY WILL GUARANTEE SECURITY TO THE SWISS
PLAYERS BUT NOT THE SUPPORTERS?
