THERE IS SOMETHING YOU GFA AND MOST GHANAIANS DON'T KNOW IN FOOTBALL.
WHEN PLAYERS ARE PLAYING WITH FEAR, NO MATTER WHAT THE SO-CALLED SECURITY MAY BE, THEY WON'T PLAY WITH THEIR FULL VIMS. FOOTBALL IS PLAYED WHEN THE PLAYER IS 1000 PER CENT FINE, MENTALLY, PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND PHYSICALLY.
I DON'T PRAY THAT THE EGYPTIANS TURN THE SCORE LINE, BUT IF CARE IS NOT TAKEN GHANA MAYBE OUTSTED, IF OUR BUYS PLAY UNDER FEAR!!

Fifa is strong headed they know that they are untouchable until that day a small ax would cut them. What Ghana needs now for our players is Psychologist who would be able to psychic them up against their fears.

Close doors just like they(Egypt)played their previews matches,so with all the craziness that happened during and after Alhy n pirates game is a great testimony that Ghana was right on the dot about security.Look at what the fans did after a win what would would they do if they lose again am asking Mr Blatter?So the best way forward is a security guarantee that involves playing these last game behind close doors without spectators(FANS)these done I believe Blatter can sleep in peace,anything else besides that would lead to a call from soccer lovers around the world demanding Mr Blatters resignation,we shall enforce these we football lover promise SEPP BLATTER.There is no excuse for Mr Blatter to promise security when we are dealing with people who has nothing to lose,that would be a big failure on the side of FIFA boss and history would judge him as a man who had no good judgement

Will you be prepared to go and watch this match in Cairo?

The threat of violence is real.

FIFA may yet change the venue if the situation changes for the worse in the coming days.

I welcome intervention of CAF and appreciate the stand they took. The association should have fighter bombers close by for eventualities. This should not be only Ghana's problem. It should involve the entire continent. These sun niggers have no respect for human life. Ghanaians should not do anything to Egyptians in Ghana. I know civilized people like Ghanaians will not retaliate.

FIFA is being very unreasonable, just change the venue. Look at what just happened with Al Ahly vrs Orlando Pirates. The WC qualifying match will even be more emotional for these war mongers Egyptians

Blatter must void the Cup to Ahly and order a replay on neutral ground, or declare the Pirates winners.

HOW CAN THE BLACK STARS PREVENT THE GREEN LASERS USED ON FOOTBALLERS TO DISTRACTS THEM AND PERFORM BELOW STANDARDS. THE EGYPTIANS ARE USING THIS TECHNOLOGY TO CONFUSE THEIR OPPONENTS. CAN GFA CHECK OR MONITOR THE GREEN LASERS THROPUGH OUT THE TOURNAMENT IN CAIRO THIS 19 NOVEMBER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THIS IS VER VERY SERIOUS IF GFA REST ON ASURERANCE FROM THE VERY PEOPLE OF EGYPTIAN AUTHOURITY. GFA HAS TO DO THE CHECK THROUOUT THE MATCH OR BLACK STARS CAN LOST THIS GAME LIKE THE ORLANDO PIRATES SITUATION. DO GFA HAVE A RIGHTS TO MONITOR THIS GREEN OR WHITE RAYS ON THE PITCH? THERE ARE MANY NEW DEVELOPED HIGH TECNOLOGY IN EGYPT TO DISTRACT THEIR OPPONENTS TO WEAKEN THEM AND WIN THE GAME FOUL MEANS. THESE HIGH TEC MAY NOT BE KNOWN TO THE EGYPTIAN AUTHORITIES. WATCH OUT BLACK STARS IN DANGER IF NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT IT AND WAIT FOR GOD.

Like in the previews games and the match should not be played in the night due to reports of lazers lights use by Egyptian supporters on Orlando players.But why cant FIFA really and seriously change the venue?With all these reports of fans going crazy bf and after the match and using the light on opponents what is FIFA waiting for until someone is killed?Actually Ghana is very right bcos look at what the crazy fans did before and after the game on sunday,so therefore FIFA has seen the truth and its going to be on the head of Mr Blatter that he is a failure as FIFA boss,if he does nothing and allows the game to go ahead in Cairo.The game would still go on in Cairo,here is what GFA officials should do tuesday,demand that no fans be allowed in the stadium just like their previews matches,these done there would not be crazy fans to cause no problem.I believe Mr Blatter would not want any blood on his hands(on his watch as the FIFA boss)SO with all these negative reports of fans going crazy after the match and fans using lazer light on opponets,Mr Blatter should do the right thing no FANS at the stadium or neutral venue,do the right thing Mr Blatter because that is what great leaders do.

Why is FIFA so interested in playing the game in Cairo? Changing the venue for the game is the smartest thing to do because it removes all dangers and provides safety for all in attendance.
