FIFA must caution "racist" referees against African teams. @Sometimes you wonder why African teams are caught off side but the other way round by the whites are on side.Sometimes you wonder why 50:50 in tackles most of them are always foul against Africa but not foul against the whites. Sometimes you wonder why Ghana in a knock out stage one key player is shown the exi, foe example Michael Essien 2006 and Dede 2010 World cups respectively.We are now in 21st Century and i hope things will inprove.

Well researched article. Africa is moving slow but steady. I believe that with luck, Africa will go beyond the quarter final. Insha Allah.

Kofi, the Tunisians did not walk out on Ghana after Razak's golden goal. They walked out on Nigeria during the match for third place

Thanks, UncleMo. You're very right. Now that you pointed it out, I remember it too. It was in the third place match against the Nigerians featuring Odegbami and co. We did beat the Tunisians in Accra in the semis while the Nigerians lost to Uganda in Kumasi - to the greatest delight of Ghanaians. We were afraid of the Nigerians in the finals. Remember they led us in the opening game of the tournament before we drew the game. I was there in the stadium. Many Nigerians had travelled to Ghana for that game. Many of them had lived in Ghana before - it was just a few years after the Aliens Compliance Order.

My memory failed me there. But thanks, Uncle Mo, for setting it straight.
