instead of waiting to dismiss KPB and muntari after game, the let their stupid emotions and egos get in the way of objective and country. those who wanted a local black coach by all means deserve what we got.

the coach has lost respect from a section of the players how can he continue as coach. GFA WILL TRY TO KEEP HIM BECAUSE THEY CAN USE HIM AS A PUPPET WHICH THE SERBS WILL NOT TOLERATE.

If, as I understand it, FIFA formally allocates some financial compensation to either the national football associations or the players, then I put the blame squarely on the lateness of FIFA to make available the money to the various associations - especially the African teams for obvious reasons.

Of course as for our GFA, we have many reasons to distrust them, based on many past underhand dealings with money issues, particularly money issues due players. But in this particular instance I think that it is FIFA that has not done well.

The measures that FIFAs Gen Secretary, Valcke, is now proposing is something that they should have been routinely and fairly doing years back to all World Cup participants. It wouldnt surprise me that, in their typically racist nature, they would routinely and promptly honor these obligations for other European teams and take care of African teams later as an afterthought.

So you are saying that the players mistrust of GFA is due to racism by FIFA? Why do we always blame racism for all our shortcomings?

Who told you the money was in Ghana? Was it not the same thing the GFA said in 2010? Where was the money when the players returned from South Africa? It was Paintsil who made it known then that the GFA was refusing to pay them but the then Minister Sena Dansuah refuted the allegation which was later found to be true. You fucking Ghanaians have no memories.

I totally agree but I believe the players have reason not to trust the GFA hence their unfortunate action.But why were the contracts not produced?

This lets u know how corrupt our leaders are and some fools blaming Muntari for slapping that old corrupt mother fucking bastard. Fuck Nyantakyi, Akwasia Appiah and the rest of the GFA members but especially to the useless ugly flat face minister Ofriye Ankrah or whatever his name is. I hate that man with passion. May he die and rot in hell in Jesus name Amen. These men are taking us for granted by killing our nation. Even the white man can see we are doomed by our fucking useless leaders. I hated Mahama but i am beginning to feel pitty for him now because of these thieves. God bless Ghana

Can you blame the players. How the players were going to These problem should have been taken care of in advance. Once Appiah had decided on his players; it was automatic that they were due the first phase money and that should have been given to them in travellers checks or bank credits.

I am not going to waste my time supporting the Black Stars any more. They are just a bunch of money- grabbing, indisiplined, incompetent illiterate young men mostly with embarrassing haircuts and poor taste in girlfriends. Even when they win they are embarrassing to say the least. They have just made Ghana the laughing stock of the world made worse by the ridiculous action of a whole president flying to Brazil with $3 million in cash to give to them then showing a stupid player kissing his money!! Oh Ghana, what has happened to our country? This whole world cup episode has made me embarrassed to be Ghanaian.

This is long overdue. I remember making the suggestion when the players from Cameroon came up with a similar demand in 2010. I hope FIFA will go further by insisting that any qualified country when submiting the names of their players must include their bank account numbers and also set a standard appearance fee all participating players . It is simply unacceptable that players from
Germany,England, Spain, Holland etc become
bigger appearance fees without any
argument whilst those from Africa always
have to fight before they become what is due
them. It time to cut these bloodsucking
wannabe politicians from what bring us
together as a nation.

You will be pleasantly surprised to find out later that it may rather be FIFAs incompetence that has caused this mess.

We are too quick to blame and insult ourselves for crimes committed by others against us.

Nii, Do not blame the players but the GFA. I think they would have found reasons to delay paying the players after the world cup. GFA have had the money from FIFA for a long time and all they had to do was to request the players bank details and pay the money into their accounts whether they have Ghana Bank accounts or not after all the money was paid to the GFA in dollars. You don't get on a flight to a country and tell the airline crew I will pay you when we get there! I was even surprise they got to Brazil before demanding the money. The GFA and coach/manager for the Black Stars should all be sacked! This should never have happened. It shows how corrupt the leaders of our country are! They obviously use the money to pay for flights + hotels of the many hangers-on of ministers who were there just to enjoy themselves and not help with the team in anyway!

Please stop abuse the black race or castigating any race at all. France went on strike at South Africa 2010 on a similar issue. Same for South Africa in the past. Nigeria and Ghana then followed suit. There is no reason to blame any race or the Officials. The problem was that of mistrust amongst the players for the Officials which would be solved once there is a contract and the money can be deducted from source by FIFA. All in all, our 5 Teams in Brazil have not disgraced Africa or the world. They deserve our commendations. Look at what Suarez of Uruguay did and what would you call it? Disgrace or what?

It's time FIFA interven and stop this nonsense that is disrupting the beautiful game for some time now. FIFA should design a plan to pay these Appearances/ bonuses Fee"s directly to the players and send the rest of this guaranteed money to the then national Sports Ministry. Afterall they are playing under FIFA.
