No, they are not scared. It is a very good decision. Black Stars need to camp near Sudan for two reason, to become acclimatized to the weather conditions in which they will be playing, and secondly to minimize travel fatigue from camp to Sudan. They can't possibly play in the USA on the 4th and return to Sudan to play on the 8th and expect them to perform well. It is up to Mexico and Japan to reschedule for a mutually convenient date.

Africanus, you said it all. There is no way the Black Stars could succeed by traveling to US and be back for the qualification matches performing well. If Mexico and Japan want to play us so bad, they should call back when there is time enough for us to play them. I even believe the GFA will take their offers with a two day between each match if both venues are appropriate and and will benefit the team.

Thanks for your comment, Bro.

And apart from that, the game against Sudan is so crucial that this is not the time to go and break our legs somewhere. Even I suggest that the trial match with Kenya be cancelled!

Is "reject" the appropriate word to use here? Can we be a little polite with our choice of words at least against other countries? It sounds as if we snubbed the two countries when in fact we just could not accept the invitation because of pending crucial assignments.
Decline instead of reject 11 years ago

The verb decline or refuse would be appropriate here since one cannot reject (an offer) while on the receiving end.

Most people get the meaning of the article- one speaks correct English any more.

I was at Baba Yara and made sure the Sudandas ware brought to the shore to smell the real Brazil hunger from the fans. After the match, I had a few moment with Coach MRAA and assure the boys that, all the formers at ghanaweb were 100 + 1% behind them.

Now we dey tuk about Brazil and you dey tuk about kuu-di-tat, are we moving forward or backward?

We all know why, The coach does not want to expose his situation. Every one knows he is not good and this would just go to prove that. He wants to secure his job till the World cup, that is even if make it there, but remember, it is better to fail a mock exam and make adjustment, that to wait till the final exam only to find out you are not there yet.

What would have been the gain? Travelling all over the place and getting exhausted and risking injuries only to lose? Guys get serious. Players are HUMAN and need rest

The Sudan and Lesotho games are too close to each other. There is no need to force another friendly. There is nothing to prove. We need to win both games by good margins. I suspect Zambia might mess up one of their games and put Ghana in a good position. The key is to win group D and get to the final stage of World Cup qualifying. This is not a time to play around.
The Stallion 11 years ago

Were you reading my mind? I had a feeling that Zambia will mess up one of their 2 home games before they come to Ghana.
Sudan has a score to settle with them. Dem (Zambia) go talk true.

Read the facts presented in the report. We have two crucial away matches in one week -- both of which will be an all-attacking game -- and you expect us to go and break our legs somewhere before the matches?

Ghana Black Stars should NEVER be allowed to be MONOPOLISE in any way by any one. For it is the people of Ghana's National Team. Not owned by anyone person but all the people.

It has been the wish that Ghana plays good teams with Japan and Mexico included but at this time I believe GFA has taken a very good decisions for an important and obvious reasons.

How do you reason? Welbeck has opted to play for England. What has that got to do with Ghana rejecting friendly matches with Japan and Mexico? You are a disgrace to monday borns if indeed you are one.

How much do you earn a month for a living? If an imbecile earns more than you do a month, who is worse?
The facts laid down in the report is as clear as crystal; I don't know what is wrong with you guys. We have 2 matches within a matter of a week; these two matches are away matches; it will be a disaster to even play a draw in either of the two matches; and what that means is, we will be playing an attacking game in the people's country. Do you want us to go play Japan, Mexico, and come out with injuries?
Now you are calling someone who is better and earns more than you an imbecile. If he wins against Japan and Mexico, and loses against Sudan due to injuries, are you not going to be the very one who will insult him? He is more intelligent than you are!
Ghana should even cancel the trial match with Kenya.

Do you think they care! They want to invite a country with a good FIFA ranking to their building to beat and boost their ranking. The match would have been a waste of time....

We do not even have quality players to honor that encounter. We need a better coach to blend both local and foreign based players before we can think of playing any european team. We are just not ready.
