  If those who claimed to be superior cannot act like what they claimed to be by behaving like wild animals, then they are the inferior ones. They have demonstrated clearly that their brains don't support what their mouths confess. Even most animals co-exist peacefully.

  I can assure you and for that matter every African that they won't have any problem in Russia 2018.Notwithstanding the few racist chants in that country,they're friendly ppl.This racist chants started soon after the collapse of the Soviet Union which were copied from the former East Germany as some of of the youth thought that bad behaviour was a more fashionable way of intimidating their opponents.Unfortunately for the authorities in Russia,they're finding it difficult to handling it bcos of the harsh way they dealt with it during the former Soviet era.Infact I am told it was a prisonable act for a Russian to attack a blackman verbally.Russians indifference to race is partly the reason why they can easily marry from other race,no Russian will attack you for taking their ladies as a friend.Seigei Alexander Pushskin,a famous writer and a son of an Ethiopian is almost equated to the same level of respect as that of Lenin and streets are named after him in every state.Racism in Russia may also be a problem being over-blown by the Western press due to their propaganda against that country,our players shd be careful they don't allow those things to go into their heads.

  Goal.com, what's wrong with you today's journalists, with regard to the kind of English language you write? Consider the ff.: "Frimpong was expulsed after raising a finger in reaction to chants from Spartak Moscow supporters, and was subsequently handed a two-match ban."
  
  Is there in the English lexicon a word like "expulsed" that you've used? What I know is that the verb from "expulsion" is "expel" and not "expulsed", as you've used it here.
  
  The kind of English I read from you Ghanaian journalists these days reminds me of how low Ghana's educational standard has fallen. I don't really blame you journalists; I blame our successive administrations for the way they've been toying with our educational system, considering everything with the view to gaining some cheap political points. How does it make sense to reduce the duration of secondary school from 5 or 7 years to only 3 years? How much can really be learnt in three years? Even the United Kingdom and the United States where English is their language have 5 to 7 and 4 years, respectively, of secondary education. Why do our Ghanaian political leaders think that our children who have to learn the English language can master it and do well in second cycle and tertiary educational institutions like the British and the Americans? The current educational policy just doesn't make sense!

  Racism can negatively be used psychologically as tool to undermine the performance and the out come of matches of Africa countries participating especially when official racists condoned like in the case of Frimpong.
  
  Until FIFA cleans up the racist mess in the game to be taken place in such notoriously known racist country, Russia, Africa countries must unit to decide for a boycott until we are assured of tight security control both on pitch and off the pitch for our teams and supporters.
  
  This is serious issue which need all attention to control the cancerous racial sigma than to ignore.

  Russians are not all a uniform mass in behaviour or intellect. Your skin colour alone is enough to provoke those who are racists, anywhere on the planet. Tolerance of wrongs of any sort perpetuates such wrongs.
