Either God or Allah is great, Fifa has rules and must be respected by the players.
I heard the commentator said, with all his international qualities he could not remember to avoid this simple rule.
Remember in Ghana, we do things anyhow without due regard to rules and a more simple reason we fail to win the African cup.
Even a player as thick as Abedi Pele, made the same mistake and we lost bitterly to Ivory Coast in 1992.
I'm glad someone pointed it out that soccer is not just like kicking and dancing with the ball. That said our players need to be schooled about rules of engagement, in the game.
To win tournaments require extreme discipline. Thus silly things such as these that can steer controversy must be deep rooted in the players mind.
Soccer has and always had been business, that yield great monetary rewards, that said our players should go to the field to earn the money and not to play and dance after scoring.
Look at German and Barcelona, they will play to finish all games before celebration and that's a reason they win tournaments.
We need to win tournaments not just games and having a business attitude, should be the order of the day among our darling players.
Asamoah Gyan does not necessarily have to score goals. As long as, his performance is attracting defenders and opening up for others to score, he should be motivated to do what he has been doing, a decoy.

Ít's an entity attached to a shrine somewhere in Saudi Arabia and to be precise Mecca. Besides, there are so many things that followers of God do that is contrary to what followers of allah do. If they are the same, there shouldn't be that kind of controversies going on around the world. Every year in Mecca, during the trip to the islam holy shrine, there's always a stampede. Normal human beings walk on their fellows without the sense of helping one up for the fear of missing the opportunity to see that shrine. Religion has contributed to both peace and war with God at the center of it all watching brothers kill brothers. It takes the sensible person to say I'm for peace but not war and that if I have an issue with my brother, it'll make more sense to settle it ammicably without fighting. We all bleed red, all taste rain, all fall down, loose our ways. We all say words we regret and all cry tears. Sometimes we're strong, sometimes we're weak, sometimes we're hurt and it cuts deep. Yet, we live this life from breath to breath, we are all the same and we all bleed red.

I guess if this Mubarak Wakaso guy had "Meeewuradze Nyankopon “Kolomashie, Abontoa Bontoa and The Crusades” under his shirt we would have heard from the Islamic Jihads calling for his head. My fear is, if CAF and Fifa sanctioned him the Jihards would declare "honor killings" I say let him walk naked for three days.

Kneeling down or standing and acknowledging GOD is done by many victorious sportmen and women.Organizers don't want a particular religion to be identified.There are so many religions and I believe RELIGION is a very volatile phenomenon.Christians, moslems, buddhists,etc all over the world.And there is always rift amongst them,especially between Moslems and Christians.If Israel was an islamic nation,this long-standing dispute MIGHT not be prevalent today.RELIGION IS A BIG ISSUE.We are blessed in Ghana.We dont have major conflicts arising.We read heart-breaking reports from Nigeria and other parts of the world about christian-islamic confrontations.Lives and unimaginable wealth and properties acquired for the well-being of mankind are lost because of mere and avoidable misconceptions(misunderstanding) between groups who worship ONE GOD, indivisible.The Lord God(Allah)wants His children to love one another, devoid of rift and rancour.I wish there is only one RELIGION to worship one GOD. The world would be a peaceful place to live.I wish there was only one BIG NATION and one LANGUAGE and one SOVEREIGN AND OMNIPOTENT,OMNISCENCE AND OMNIPRESENT GOD.GOD only knows why He did it the way it is today. Let us all learn to live amicably together and make OUR CREATOR happy.Let's cherish one another and resist the devil from knocking our heads together.We are all brothers and sisters, the workmanship of GOD.LOVE,PEACE AND HAPPINESS.Please,let us do our best and please GOD(ALLAH).

You are wrong! He doesn't need to be banned, he's got a yellow card that's punishment for revealing the message and that's enough in itself. Most Brazilian and Italian players they show the sign of the cross as Catholics, I am one, and know what that means. If FIFA and CAF can stamp this out of the game then they can stop players saying 'thank you God'. I think most Christians are more intolerant than moslems and hide their intolerance behind all kinds of rules. When have you ever objected to any player saying Thanks be to God? Players thank God all the time with messages on their undershirts, stop trivializing this issue. Most players point their fingers into the sky to thank God for giving them the chance to score goals and the Moslems more recently pray on the playground for thanksgiving.

Rules and regulations are meant to showcase orderly behavior at all times.Painstil pulled out Israeli Flag after scoring in a World Cup game and he was reprimanded.Let's always respect the rules and play it safe.Our coaches should address issues of this nature before games.They should ensure players don't don outfits which are outlawed.The organizers know how volatile politics and religion are on international scene.Dont be surprised in the near future culprits could be banned forever in FIFA sponsored tournaments.Africans don't respect rules and regulations.The whiteman in the Western world recognizes norms and will always uphold them.Let's teach our kids right from kindergarten COURTESY FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.We dont have them in schools any more?

Laws are laws and rules are rules.I donot really know all the rules governing these games but ignorance is no excuse.Hopefully he will be given the benefit of doubt but this should go to our leaders.They need to educate our players on the full rules surrounding games such as these.They should be advised to celebrate but they should not allow it to go overboard.They should also be advised about how every player is very important at every game because what sense does it make if we are going to fly you there only to play one good game and sit out for thye rest or two of the games.That way you become more of a liability than an asset to the team so they should be mindful of yellow cards.Some of these cards are just unnecssary.They should watch the videos critically after each game and be the judge and advice themselves.If you have Drogba,Asamoah Gyan,Paintsil,Badu etc.sitting out at various games just imagine the ramificatins of their actions.Yes play it hard but play it smart.We need every player at this crucial time.Kudos to all the stars.

THESE GHANAIAN IGNORANCE WRITERS SHOULD GIVE US A BREAK.
You should give us a break
what of those show the sign of the cross after scoring a goal
TOLERANCE, MY FRIENDS, IS WHAT THE WORLD COMMUNITY NEEDS.
He was shown the yellow card for excessive celebration not for the shirt.
I AM A CHRISTIAN AND FOR ME, I CAN SEE THAT, THIS GUY IS PRAISING THE ALLMIGHTY GOD FOR GIVING HIM A CHANCE TO SCOOR A GOAL. THIS IS NOT ABOUT RELIGIOUS SLOGAN OR SOMETHIG.
God is great .this comment is offensive because it came from a moslem or what? Because if is fifa law then samir nasri of manchester city display happy ramadan after he score a goal and nothing happens. There are other player ...

Who complains when players like Messi make the sign of the cross when they score. ..this is absolute nonsense!
FIFA SAYS NO DISPLAY OF RELIGIOUS OR POLITICAL AFFILIATIONS ON ATTIRE ON THE SOCCER PITCH OR FIELD OF PLAY. MAKING A SIGN IS NOT THE SAME AS DISPLAYING SIGNS ON ATTIRE. READ N UNDERSTAND THE RULES OUTHERE...

I wonder if the disciplinarian coach Kwasi Appiah who dropped Dede for indiscipline saw the inscriptions on Wakaso's jersey & allowed him 2 wear it. What is more of indicipline than this. Surely that Wakaso guy is not educate ...

Did Wakaso make any statement contrary to the Daily Guide and Fifa rules? If that rule exists at all,it would require that the offender makes it with the intention of provoking something mischievous.My five-year old son can e ...

some of you are educational, please go back to school learn more.... NKWASIAAA'FU
How can a mention of GOD IS GREAT become a controversy!! We welcome CAF and FIFA to explain to us who is fit to be call GREAT.. Even the bone head SATAN knows GOD IS GREAT....
If the law has been made everyone has to abide by it. He did not abide by it and Ghana is facing the prospect of not having. I think the GFA should also sanction him for his doing it.
He should be rather send to Guantana-Bay or International Criminal court by writing God is great.But I want to remind you, not only Wakaso but entire Black Star Team.Before the Cmmencement of the match Black Star players geth ...

Iam a stunch Christian but if any of the Christian folks wear a t-shirt the says Jesus is Lord it will still be wrong. We must all learn to be under authority. The law is the law.

pplease my fellow christians do not be deceived that Allah is God. God has a son who is Jesus christ but muslims believe that Allah has no son. This clearly disputes the fact that Allah is God.
Does the GFA initiate any programmes for the training and education of these illiterate ghananian players ? How did Asamoah Gyan become captain of the Black Stars ? He surely must have bribed some people. The coach's selectio ...

wel l dont believe allah is god so islam is a doomemed religion...story end
Technical men need to always remind the playing body about the rules of the game. It's a shame that we are missing this player because of this irresponsible attitude.
Personally i do not see anything wrong if a player shows appreciation to God after scoring a crucial goal,FIFA should not be anti God
Was this guy told by Coach Appiah that such a behavior was against the rules of the game. I think Coach should have reminded about the rules.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm spare him n correct him.
FIFA RATHER SOLVE RACISM AND STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT TRIVIALITIES
