    Ghana should never go to Cairo even if FIFA sanctions the match! It is better not to go to Brazil than lose any lives.

  • K.Y. Asante 10 years ago

    Imagine what will happen if Ghana beats Egypt in Cairo?

  • jimy somer 10 years ago

    Blatter and hayatou hate ghana.

  • AZAA FIFA 10 years ago

    WE SHOULD PROTEST AGAINST THEIR CHOICE OF REFEREES TOO!!! WHY ALL ARAB REFEREES? FIFA WANTS GHANA OUT OF THE WORLD CUP AND WE MUST UNDERSTAND THAT.

  • HAWA YAKUBU 10 years ago

    My brother you got it all figured out. With this in mind the black stars need to thrash these guys with numerous goals.

  • WILLIAM 10 years ago

    Why must GFA step in? Ghana must be extra ...

    Stop your multi name trolling.Again Fifa will let us play in Cairo....my opinion,then the Egyptians will use it as a platform to their political ends.The match will be stopped and Ghana awarded the. ticket to the WC.

  • Yaw Pii 10 years ago

    GFA shd act quick ASAP...that stadium is even worse than Afghanistan ....

  • anokwale 10 years ago

    It is dangerous in Cairo at this time. I really think this game simply needs to be played in Dubai. It is not worth the risk for either team to have this game in Dubai.

  • Slimzay **Unshakable Shaker** 10 years ago

    I don't see why lodging a complain has as this one has to take time. This is a perfect situation to base the case on. Therefore why wait for this week but not now? GFA is just joking because they take longer to take action.

    We shouldn't have agreed to play in Cairo in the first place... The uncertainties are to much.

  • RED-SOKOTO-GUDARI 10 years ago

  • Nobalace 10 years ago

    These people can do anything unexpected, especialy when we beat them. i support the protest.

  • Kwame London 10 years ago

    It will not be safe for our players to travel to Egypt. Ideally, the game should be play behind close doors otherwise our boys will not be safe.

  • RED-SOKOTO-GUDARI 10 years ago

    I was the first to coment and proposed that Ghana protest the venue in cairo due to the political unrest, but GFA foolishly and with her shortsightedness came out to affirm the venue saying Ghana can play in any environment a ...
