I agree with you my brother FIFA must change venue,the 2nd leg can be played anywhere in the world,we want to go to the world cup in peace
GHANAWEB, this article was posted and had a good number of responders. Why bring it again? Talk to GFA to act wisely. They wouldn't even respond to 3 emails I sent to them, not even an automated acknowledgement. They shou ...

What would cameras do? Could cameras physically stop fans from storming onto the field (remember the former Yugoslavia?) Camera's won't stop any crazy person who wants to cause harm. Just ask the GFA to demand that FIFA chang ...

I don't know which part of Atlanta you live in. Thus, I wouldn't jump into any hasty conclusions.
If FIFA came out to say "based on the security measures (what measures?) in place currently, we believe it is safe to play in ...

After the bomb, you identify the bomber, then what? wil that bring back the dead? You are questioning the guy's lesvel of maturity and yours is woefully lacking. What do you do in NC, a live-in homecare, wiping poop? Do you k ...

I install cameras for my clients - mainly small businesses - in less than 5 hours. and that's wide area connections.
if my maturity is lacking, i'd take that. and I'd learn from that.
if poop wiping would give me money to ...

Charles, Sasraku is hitting you because you dared insult Johnny's maturity when he insisted on venue change instead of cameras.
Who cares what cameras do after our guys are dead?
And who told you that these always- violen ...

I do agree with you hundred percent,all that FIFA will do would be a fine and the forfeiture of the points,which still qualifies Ghana as you have stated already rather than taking a gamble with these lunatics.
in Cairo to watch the match. if he can't then he should change the venue, sharp
I am rather surprised at your level of maturity. You want people to die for cameras to show evidence of people been butchered ??? If your brother was part of the team you would not give this suggestion.
Please if you have no ...

IF FIFA DON´T CHANGE THE VENUE GHANA MUST WISE UP, WORLD CUP IS NOT EVERYTHING TO RISK THE WHOLE GHANA PLAYERS IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT CARE FOR THEIR OWN LIFE
BLATTER AND HAYATOU DONT WANT TO SEE GHANA IN BRAZIL EGYPT WANT TO DO EVERYTHING TO QUALIFY. IF WE PLAY IN EGYPT REFEREES A WILL GET ORDER FROM CAF AND FIFA TO ELIMINATE US.
Balatter and hayatou are planing something against ghana.They dont want to listen to us and if ghana refuse to play in egypt,ghana will be disqualify like what hayatou has planed against togo after can in Angola.
mate,stop making racial and bigotry remarks.you are too civilized for such remarks,thanks
I disagree with you, how many lives must perish before one can say enough is enough? Black Africans are always looked down by the Arabs, if your coach need protection from angry mob, how can one secure our black stars and fa ...

Hello Mr Darko.
This is simple matter. Someone wrote that if Ghana defaults, they lose the match and three goals.(I am assuming this is true and correct). Aggregate? Ghana 5, Egypt 3. Result? Brazil 2014. Unless there is a ...

This is a play off not a league format where three points and goals are awarded. Egypt will be declared winners and qualify if we fail to honor the return leg, a must. What is to say Egypt can not duplicate Ghana's feat in t ...

Even if you are 100-0 from the first leg, refusal to show up for the second leg costs you qualification.
We must take part in the game if we want go to Brazil.
We sympathize with the Egyptian people as they go through a period of political crisis. What Ghana Must not do is risk the lives of these young players. Most of these high priced Ghanaian players are highly ensured by their c ...

Let's watch if FIFA can be sane for a change!

FIFA must not forget what happened to Togo. It is better to change the venue than to say we are sorry in the end. What happend to Togo was "sabotage" and the same thing can happen in Egypt because the opposition is doing all ...

Thank God Ghana's situation is not desperate. It is the Egyptians who are in a desperate situation. I am sure the Egyptians need change of venue than us. If Ghana beats them again in Cairo, this will incense the anger of the ...

I totally agree with you,these Arabs can't handle pain especially if they suffer a second defeat in Cairo.
Egypt had played all their matches without the admission of their fans.They have to show to FIFA that the political situation now has massively improved beyond reasonable doubt to make our boys and the fans safe for the matc ...

Indeed, match venue must be changed since the country Egypt, is in a political turmoil.
The football governing bodies ought to consider if both nations are safe should the match be played in Egypt, which undoubtedly is a b ...

In my order of preference,the following teams must qualify for Brazil:GHANA, CAMEROON,ETHIOPIA,SENEGAL and ALGERIA.
Well, too bad.
These are the ones that will qualify:
Ghana, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ivory Coast (all my wishes) and filthy Nigeria.
CAF is ridiculous. Why should safety even be debated. Hopefully FIFA will make the right decision.
Well said, Arabs are hard-nosed racists and ruthless in the face of humiliation. They will not counternance a repeat performance of the Black Stars on any Arab land, let alone on their own home turf. Ghana FA should protest ...

Excellent!
It is amazing how Ghana's FA is seating put until FIFA make an negative decision before complaining.
It is that simple, from the Egyptian FA the American coach may not be allowed to handle the second leg to protect his secur ...

yes it's true because even their American coach will not be on the bench for them
. if they could not assured the safety of their coach at that venue which stranger will be safe there?
The thugs have attacked a church and killed some Christians. What is the Black Stars to them? Yes, the venue must be changed.
Fifa should change the venue
if FIFA don't change the venue and any nasty thing happens we have to take FIFA to court as a Nation, cos i strongly believe that if it were to be a country in the likes of england,germany.italy,spain,agentina and the rest FI ...
