If Lantey really wants to reform Ghana football, he should investigate the GFA and have them prosecuted. Then reform it. He is only talking. Yes, the GFA is bad but he is worse. He has hidden motives. He is a idiot.

Am not privilege to his contract but Ghana stand to benefit if they fire the coach. He has been disrespectful typical of Israeli, defiant and has not been able to produce or discovered one local player because he is always abroad monitoring instead of discover. No previous ghana coach gas stayed away from the team.. He should use local players which is for the academic purpose only

Masa be reasonable. What prevented the minister from discussing it with the mgt n coach long ago so that agreement could be reached. He waited until the list came b4 coming up with this nonsense. Stupid minister.

The minister is fooling. His attitude will only destroy team. Sensible minister will use consultation and will not wait for list to out issue orders to coach to change his list.

I think he is right to ask that local players are featured against Rwanda. When will the local players get a chance to play? Coaches most often select players based on opponents that's why you won't Messi, Aguero, Ronaldo and co playing small cup matches and qualifiers. It need to start now, "rest" our top players for tough opponents that way we'll even good relationship with their clubs. The players obviously want to come because of per diem. These are the same who will refuse to go to Sudan and Chad to play for BS.

You're totally right.

They're local because they're not good enough to even go and play elsewhere in Africa.
If they were, they would have left.

This is the last game for each side.
Rwanda (6 points), Mauritius (6) and Mozambique (4) are fighting for second place in this last round.

They're very serious about qualifying.
It's a 3-way race.

Rwanda can beat us if we send out kokonte players, and then we will sink in CAF and FIFA rankings, and we all know what will happen when CAF and FIFA seedings come up: we will be will be seeded low and then matched against tougher opponents because our rank has sunk.

So all those saying local, local must just go drink their akpeteshie and go to sleep.

Local for what?
They have their CHAN.
Let them go and qualify for 2018.

Nii lante typifies what is wrong with ghana bush man bush actions and disgracing our image and not care two bobs. There is a problem with athletics and other sport. You think he will call an enquiry of some sort and come with a plan but here we go. The whole world knows why we dont care or have any respect for people who are called to represent ghana. I dont think this minister cares about fifa rules, bs players,coach or anyone nor has he any common sense as an adminstrator. From what i heard he is family but he is a disgrace for disrespecting everyone including bs players.

I am sorry but this behavior of this minister cannot be acceptable anywhere in the world, he is a backward individual and watch out, Ghana sports will suffer. Soccer is the only thing that keeps the nation together and brings smiles on our faces, and now waaa look.

Who says Ghanaians are interested in Ghana qualifying for the World Cup? We have had enough of players bluffs, indiscipline, management thievery and coefficient nonsense.

Qualifying for the world cup benefits the players and their families and girlfriends. It also fills the pockets of the useless coefficient crooks at the GFA. Tell me what the people of Ghana have benefited ever since THIEF Kwesi Nyantakyi became GFA president. No cup, No sponsors for local league, no profit for clubs, no discipline in refereeing, no Ghanaian club playing in Africa, no attention for other footbal divisions, no local player in black stars, no good pitches, no respect for Sports Minister, no attraction for GPL, no respect for Dzamefe Commission and we all all watching this nonsense.

Football people should organize and demonstrate all over the country to get Nyantakyi and his coefficient criminals out.
