    In this case,the insults are warranted.Most of us are aware of how Kurt is running GFA and football in Ghana down yet he has the audacity to make such comments

    We will even use more words if they were not unprintable. Kurt is a corrupt fool. No quality foreign born Ghanaian player should submit to a system of bribery, corruption and money dey work but baboon dey chop one.

    Is this Okraku guy serious! He was expecting Kobbie Mainoo to represent Ghana instead of England. Has he talk about what happened to Derrick Kohn yet. After convincing the player to switch nationality, they dropped him.

    Okraku it's because some of them already know you are highly corrupt and you have decided you will never change. Shame unto you.

    You want to reap what you haven't sown. What role did Ghana play in his football development? nothing, and yet you're disappointed he chose England over Ghana. That is greed and dishonesty to say the least.

    It was a sincere and useful decision made by Kobbie Mainoo for opting to play for England. A country called Ghana, shouldn’t be worth dying for. GFA itself is questionable let alone take their trust.
