    I believe that any ghanaian that should experience any form of violence in cairo should sue the GFA,and the GFA inturn should sue FIFA for approving cairo safe to play the return leg.psa.

  • OSEI TAWIAH 10 years ago

    No the GFA should rather sue FIFA in the name of their supporters.

  • PHOBIA-PHOBIA--Leeds 10 years ago

    Many will agree with me that Nov.19 be declared a holiday or half of it(till 12 noon).Also the Ministry for sports must embark on a campaign to inspire confidence in the players and the officials who are supposed to be there ...

  • POW@ Appiah anaaaaaaaaa 10 years ago

    We don't have to send a lot of people out there. I'll suggest about 10 guys and 5 ladies will do. That's a total of 15 who can drum and sing till the final whistle or better still, let's leave our supporters behind. We'll fin ...

    My opinion is: Let's not send any supporters.
    On the match day, we play 4 - 3 - (2) - 1. We shouldn't attack them.

    The (2) means hard-running mid-fielders who can dash forward for surprises. I lie?

  • POW@ Appiah anaaaaaaaaa 10 years ago

    Just as we played in Kumasi, that's enough to finish these Egyptians. They can't out play and out run us. This is our trump card. We're going for another win out there.

  • OSEI TAWIAH 10 years ago

    Kwaku Duah has tons of macho men to beat up any presenter at every radio station in Ghana. GFA should borrow more macho from him for the game in Cairo.

  • Kofi Babone 10 years ago

    To even think of sending the Blackstars by themselves to Cairo is very selfish indeed. It is cowardly to say that supporters should stay behind so we do not risk more lives. There is strength in numbers and the presence of su ...

  • STARS NEED TO HEAR SUPPORTERS VOICE 10 years ago

    GFA, send well discipline people only to Cairo. Do not send any WRONG SUPPORTERS over there in Cairo to cause any COMMOTION.
    ZERO TOLERANCE
    Ghana supporters should be VERY WELL DISCIPLINE in CAIRO.

    Fifa very well knows that soccer is not played in empty soccer stadiums. They are played in front of supporters of the two teams. If FIFA has given assurance of the safety of the Black Stars it should include the safety of th ...

    The best way to avoid violence in egypt is to send many surpoters. If we many in egypt who are they to intimidate us. Pleasssse.. lets goooooooo....

  • RED-SOKOTO-GUDARI 10 years ago

    What does supporters do? is it not to show solidarity and unflinching force for the Black Stars' team? If that is correct, this is rather the time when the Black Syars need supporters most. This will prove that we are with th ...

  • ACCRAMAN 10 years ago

    If the players are going, then at least some form of support is warranted, be it small or a large group of people from Ghana so far as FIFA can guarantee their safety.

    I do believe FIFA investigated the security of both pl ...

    when Ghanaians are hungry, government should spend money on sending people to Egypt. this is a thought must not even be entertained.

  • Nanak 10 years ago

    GFA should write to FIFA concerning the protection of supporters. At least if we have the backing of FIFA then we are sure of supporters safety.

  • FUFUO DADESEN 10 years ago

    EVERYDAY LIFE IS A RISK IN IT'S SELF. NOBODY IS SENDING ANYONE TO WATCH INTERNATIONAL GAMES.PEOPLE TRAVEL TO SEE GAMES AT THEIR OWN RISK.GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT SPEND A PESEWA FOR ANYONE TO SEE GAMES,BE IT EGYPT OR WHEREVER.

  • mrcoolfire 10 years ago

    Hey folks, I was a skeptical initially about the whole cairo situation but I believe I people will be safe. The authorities in cairo are aware that, fifa will come down hard on them if anything should go wrong. So my people, ...

    "one advise though, please don't humiliate them in their own back yard, just play for draw!"

    fifa is unfair if it should be a western team they wil quickly move it from there but for blacks we should go and die they will be put to shame

  • Emmanuel Kofi Frimpong, Worcester, MA 10 years ago

    Out of at least 3000 fans needed to cheer the Players, 2000 of them MUST be "Men in The Uniform". It is important to
    Psyche 'our heroes' with the rectangular
    protection. Anyway, my opinion!!!

  • jahlove 10 years ago

    Ghana supporters should be encouraged to go to Egypt to support the Black Stars; in the same vein the FIFA PRESIDENT SEPP BLATTER should be at the military stadium to personally oversee proceedings.

    We can send about one hundred supporters, but and I mean but, the supporters must be made to wear the southern Ghana Traditional Chieftancy Kente outfits. The colours and formal manner of the outfits will subdue any unpleasan ...

    There are Ghanaians living in Cairo. Ghana has no problem with Egypt besides their fans were not beaten when they came to Ghana. Ghana's embassy is still open along with others. Our problem is we are always looking for easy w ...

    If the Black Stars fail to show up on the match day, fifa will give the match to Egypt plus 3 goals. We still will qualify for the world cup. Common sense please. GFA THINK CAREFULLY ABOUT THIS AND OUTWIT FIFA'S DEVIOUSE PLAN ...
