Sometimes you just want to find to criticise the current FA management but the way the and where we are headed,you can't really complain,this is good, after getting the job almost done,we 're still approaching the second leg with all seriousness,good initiative,but we have to now pay very good attention to our local league, it can be a reservoir of talent for our various national sides.Thats maybe one thing you can say about the current FA management but well...

If FIFA and CAF connive and approve of the match to be played in Egypt, then SEPP BLATTER & and his Lap dog ISSA HAYATOU must be at the stadium to watch the match.

Why Nyantakyi still talks about going to Egypt when he has asked FIFA to move the game to a neutral ground? Is he not serious?

6-1 is a done deal. However, a determined Egypt can overturn the deficit in several ways. For example, a referee can send two Black Stars players off for minor offences. The Black Stars must watch out for the Egyptian tactics. We must only rejoice at the end of Nov 19 when the score lines have not affected our chances of gong to Brazil.

Nonsense.The Ethiopians, born and lived and played in Ethiopia lost to Nigeria in Ethiopia! And I am not sure of the impact on the Stars endurance with four or five days training in Ethiopia. Lungs do not adjust to altitude overnight. Moron.

I was going to ask a question to that effect. If the altitude counts, how come Ethiopia is fucked as a soccer nation?

If you are going to play at a venue at sea level, why train in Ethiopia with a higher altitude. It's not going to help the BS at all. And why is Nyantakyi the person to outline the plans for the BS. That is the Coach's job. Let Nyantyakyi stay back and let the Coach do his job. IS this the reason why GFA appointed a Ghanaian?

This don't make sense, you cannot achieve anything with that length of time training if you are talking about altitude, sometimes people with the technical know-how should be allowed to make and defend decisions

Look, none of you guys knows who Nyantakyi may have consulted with before the decision to camp in Ethiopia was made. On a second note, you guys are arguing that the players lungs will not adjust to the altitude change in a few days. If that is the case, can you imagine if they do not do any altitude training at all? FIFA rules govern the the earliest time a player will be allowed by his club to join his national side for a game. As a result, the players will not be released from their clubs for a long period altitude training anyway. As the saying goes, half a loaf is better than nothing, even if they camp there for four days, there are gains to be made as opposed to not going at all. As Nyantakyi stated, Ghana has camped there in the past and it worked for them, Saudi Arabia may be a new terrain that may present it's own problems. The GFA guys have proven in the past that they know exactly what they are doing. Lets support them rather than throwing baseless criticisms their way. Chill out guys

If the match is to played in Cairo, Cairo has a hot dry climate at sea level. Why train at a higher altitude when the game is at sea level. If the players have only 3 days to train before the game, a higher altitude is the last place to think about. Why not Saudi Arabia, Algeria or Maroc. They all have similar climates, hot dry desert climate. Sometimes the wrong people make the decisions and we end up with egg on our faces. Oh so GFA knows what it is doing? Is that why Kingson is in camp and in line for a big $15,000 payday or KPB keeps on screwing Ghana and the GFA does not care?
