  • Topsey Speaks.... 6 years ago

    Maybe the guy who wrote this article was tired since the game was on really late. Or maybe he needs glasses because that was a blatant penalty.
    We need to find another defender because Boye is a liability. He has so many hi ...

  • Yaw Manu 6 years ago

    Why is it controversial?

  • D'more97 Atlanta, Georgia 6 years ago

    John Boye did NOT go for the ball, and certainly there was a CONTACT.

    Cry me a river!

  • kojo 6 years ago

    idiot its a clean penalty u monkey. If this is controversial obviously u know nothing about football

  • Baron Obuoba Boadu 6 years ago

    That was a stonewall penalty any way you look at it. What was the defender thinking?

  • Kay 6 years ago

    How can a journalist call this penalty a controversial one. Lets be serious in this country.

  • Sam k 6 years ago

    This is a complete penalty. Our defenders must be very careful such situations because Aful did the same thing during our much with Egypt. Better luck next time.

  • alex, Toronto 6 years ago

    It's clear penalty! What is controversial about it?
    Players know that they have to be really careful when tackling in the 18 yard box.

  • Addo 6 years ago

    We shouldn't worry because referee Suker does worse things than this locally but we appreciate that.

  • Mr. Appiah 6 years ago

    It was John Boye's fault.

  • Mr. Appiah 6 years ago

    John Boye should not play against USA.
    He should not play for Ghana again. He tends to make too many mistakes.

  • ScHoly 6 years ago

    This was a clear penalty without doubt

  • Ndc 6 years ago

    Football is a contact game.
    There was minimum contact and the intention was not to foul the attacker.
    A clear case of diving or simulation.
    This penalty is controversial.

  • Abewaha 6 years ago

    New lessons for Appiah.

  • James Narh 6 years ago

    In fact we have been following football and we understand the rules very well. The penalty was fair - good officiating.
    Our defender should be ashamed for giving the opportunity to the Mexicans - he gave the attacker too muc ...

    aside from not respecting the players the ref got in the players path too many times, he was slow, with his belly I wonder how he passed the fitness test and oh the ball hit him which should never happen at this level.

  • mayoka 6 years ago

    Penalty scored in 31st minute by watching the clip, the rest of the playing time what happened? Cudnt GH have equalised and go ahead to score the winning goal? Appian will break gh's heart again!

  • KG 6 years ago

    It was penalty. John Boyle was playing too rough and rusty.

  • Soja 6 years ago

    why would someone born in Mexico with Mexican parents, having most of his family in Mexico referee a game involving Mexico.

    He comes from a family of referees, his father was an international referee from Mexico.

  • Soctrates 6 years ago

    Why did have a clear contact in the penalty box without touching the ball? it was a clear penalty

  • Aristotle 6 years ago

    Despite the guys were defeated, I had the opportunity and watched the game at work; they played a nice game, especially within the first 10 mins.

  • Kass 6 years ago

    That was a clear penalty to me.

  • Kingsley Kofi Osei 6 years ago

    There is nothing controversial about this penalty, it's clean be'cos there was contact on de attacking player by de defending player.

  • Al Hajj AAA-Rashid[OH.USA] 6 years ago

    What is controversial about the penalty? John Boye did not go for the ball but went in to physically make contact with the advancing player in his bid to score, and in the process the player was brought down. This is so simp ...
