Minister. frank talk. In the minds of the players they are doing us a favor by playing for the nation. Why should they be paid winning bonuses for qualifying matches when sportsmen in other sporting disciplines are negated? These players are already receiving huge honorarium and coefficients in Europe. How did they get to the limelight? It is through the magnanimity of being invited to feature for the nation. But when they get to the top they want the nation to beg them and to be paid huge bonuses. No invitation for foreign player. Let the local players play. After all what do we as supporters get for supporting them. These players are milking us too much.

blackstars invitation is not compulsory.. it is voluntarily.. so the players can choose to accept to come and play or reject the offer.. therefore we determine how much we give them

The sports minister has a point. Ghana is not a rich country by any stretch of the imagination. Therefore, Black Star players should not fly business or first class when invited to play for the nation. As professional players, they are capable of upgrading their tickets to business or first class. The GFA should only pay for economy class and any player wishing to upgrade their tickets to business class at their own expense, are welcome to.

You get what you put in. If you think poor your will always be poor. Have high standards for the GFA and the players and you will get good results. If you keep saying you are poor so let us fly coach, you will play like poor people flying coach. Germany play like rich people flying business class. There is a psychological component to everything.

What is good for the Black Stars players is equally good for all athlete and sports men and women in the country.
It's okay if players feel insulted ...after all they have insulted all Ghanaian with their attitude in Brazil...Thanks you Mr. Minister.

The Black Stars are basically the main "brand" of Ghana. People around the world who do not know much about Africa know of the Black Stars from Ghana. This helps every Ghanaian around the world when it comes to starting conversations with people that can lead to business or social opportunities. The Black Stars are actually a marketing tool for Ghana. Their success or lack thereof reflects on Ghana and Ghanaians world wide. This is why I say pay them well because they are basically an extension of the diplomatic core. In fact, there is an argument that they do more work than our diplomatic core. Thank you for listening to my analysis. I look forward to responses.

YOU ARE PAID WELL BASED ON YOUR RESULTS. NOT WHEN A GROSSLY MISMANAGED, CORRUPT NATION LIKE GH DECIDES TO PURPOSELY NEGLECT ALL OTHER SPORTING DISCIPLINES/NATIONAL TEAMS IN FAVOR OF BSTARS. THEN SAY...OH, BSTARS IS OUR ONLY MARKETING BRAND...HOW? HOW MANY PPL HAVE HEARD OF AZUMAH, MARGARET SIMPSON, MARTHA BISSAH, KWAME NKRUMAH ETC.

I hate to tell you this but the days of people talking about Nkrumah are gone. In fact, many youth who grow up in Ghana do not even know the history of Ghana well but they can give you a starting line up for the Black Stars. Kids in America do not know where Ghana is but you will see American kids wearing the Ghana Black Stars jersey. In fact, there was great demand for the jersey the wore playing the USA in 2010. Even non soccer fans know who Asamoah Gyan is. Ask some kid in America who the president of Ghana is and they will not know. Face the facts please.

NDC and their "buga-buga" tactics won't last this time around! Nii "Alonte Vampire" is a blood sucker who doesn't care a hoot about the development and progress of our National Team. It's up to the clueless Mahama-led NDC to find ways to fund the other disciplines or our sports and stop this crazy threats to the FA and the Black Stars. Ghana had never appeared in any WC tournament until ex-Prez Kuffour and his NPP gov't came unto the scene.

The NDC are a kind of covetous and envious people who don't understand why Ghanaians who are sacrificing for the nation should handsomely be rewarded. They only use dubious ways to wrestle with Ghanaians in everything including politics and elections. Just listening to the what this NDC apparatchik is saying about our Black Stars and the GFA make one's stomach turn.

The GFA is a corrupt association and for the many years we haven't won any cup what have we done to GFA as a technical body? These guys must be the ones we should attack not the Minister.
