Ghana faces sanction, if this minister is allowed to stay on. Mahama, look at the shame you and your so-called minister are visiting on our country.

“I am not surprised with the draw between Ghana and Uganda as football always rewards the best team,” Cuper was quoted as saying by the Egyptian Football Association’s (EFA) official website after the match

It is only the ghana sports minister and his mob fan base who dont know that his actions and utterances since he took over has reduced the crest of enthusiasm building up nicely for ghana since our second place finish at the last afcon. The wise manage to change things without disrupting the way work is done. Look at what our sports minister has done. Football is part of showbizness and entertainment as an industry. It is not politics even if it look like it is so.At the moment the morale when stars are called must be real low. Their schedules when bs is called up is uncertain and dont forget this players are still young and fighting their feet eith their clubs. How can the situation be conduvive gor them eh?only in ghana

Well said my brother Jones. All this noise about Nii Lante boils down to the fact that he is determined not to be led down the same path as his predecessors, by these mean GFA and Black Stars management people. They are feeling the heat now that their sources of money looting have been blocked. They will use soccernet and other media, and even incite the players against the Minister, but the truth will always stand.

If the GFA is autonomous why would it want to depend on the government to finance the Black Stars? By the way, some Ghanaians are very happy the way things have started, let it continue like that so that eventually Ghana will not qualify for Russia 2018. After all, the politicians and the FA members alike are going to be the beneficiaries of the mischievous activities that go on during tournaments. If we don't qualify no money goes into private pockets, period.

They say you don't know what you have till you lose it. This is the second opposition coach advising Ghana. It is unusual except that these people see something Nyantakyi and Vandepuye don't!! They respect the Black Stars and inherently wished them qualify because of quality. Remember it is only Ghana which drew with eventual champions Germany at the 2014 World Cup: the dstv panel gave a standing ovation to Ghana after the match! All major world media praised Ghana then, claiming one of the best Africa performances had been witnessed in that stalemate! And just two godless persons want to ruin our football? Please president Mahama, either change Nii Lante or if he is your willful plan to oust Nyantakyi, then let FIFA come and investigate the supposed rot at the F.A so that they wouldn't criticize you when you fight them. As for Nyantakyi, stepping down doesn't mean you've lost, it means you're matured and love your country should NDC win. But if NPP win, I'm sure this problem would be solved. I just pray the players neglect the minister-FA feud and just win over Egypt for us. God bless.

Let's face the fact: our players lack quality. It's surprising we are still depending on Asamoah Gyan as striker; he is old, weak and uncompetitive but has no one to replace him.

Unable to beat Uganda, who are not good enough to hope of qualfying, we have put ourselves in deep trouble particularly as our main rival in the group, Egypt, won an away match.

So you guys here trying to put the blame on either the minister or the GFA want to tell me that,these players who has been playing football for well over 15 to 20 years,who we all refers to as professional players,playing in big european leagues will allow a common misunderstand such as what is happening between the GFA and the minister to affect their performance on the pitch.That is absurd,Our stars simply did not come to the party.They did not fight hard.Yes ,they put in some effort but could not break the tight defense of the Uganda's.We got lot's of set pieces and all were wasted.

What did these greedy politicians know about football. the name of this ugly minister remind me of another politician who went to Togo to defraud his friends. but end up losing both his job and property.

We should all remember that whatever affects the nose alter the total appearance of the face,that is what our elders always say.Football is ghana and ghana is football.Those of us who are still upset by the incident in Brazil should please ask themselves wether they are without sin should throw the first stone.Yes they erred and they have apologized sincerely lets move on.Let us find a solution to this fracas between the GFA and the minister because these two bodies need to work in tandem for the success of football in ghana.I know some of us are not fond of Nyantakyi which I agree,I personally don't like him either.But when two elephants fight who suffers?It is the poor grass,we need football because it is only thing that keeps some of us from going insane with all these corruption and sense of hopelessness that is going on the country.

The problem between the sports ministry and the GFA can also bring division between the players itself both physical and spiritual. Avram Grant is out of the team's draw with Uganda. The GFA perhaps may have its own boys in the team, likewise the Sports Ministry, so if this problem is not resolved immediately, then Ghana should count itself out from both Afcon and the world cup. It's unfortunate for this two parties to bring our hopes down. They should be ashamed themselves; and Ghana will never forget this mess they're creating for the nation. This matter should be resolved immediately before its too late. Mr President, John Mahatma.
