By this admission Bob Bradley had ruled Egypt out for the 2014 World Cup, if Egypt would have a nervous breakdown in Ghana how would they be able to stand the pressure when they show up at Kingdom of Soccer.

The name will send chills down the spines of any player and coach in Africa. This is the most feared stadium for any visiting team on the continent. Though a harmless place, Baba Yara Stadium's sheer volume, attendance rate and partisan support can scare dead any visiting team. It is now Ghana's official national stadium. The honour of the Fulani legend who made Ashanti and Ghana proud shall remain forever. Hairy face Oko Vanderpuye and his cohorts can continue to change names of parks and stadiums in Accra while we honour our present players and legends in Kumasi. Thank God, they can now only watch Black Stars games in Accra during friendly matches.

In their little minds and obtuse psyche, the Egyptians notoriously DISRECPECT other Africans, simply because they are a little lighter in skin tone than us.

Before the game, the same BOZO coach of the Pharaohs, said, "...they respect Ghana but not too much." YEAH RIGHT, FOOL!! Now your ass will certainly show Ghana a great deal of respect from this humiliation and we thank our boys for such magnificent show!! You guys have made us proud.

So, because of their callous and untamed disrespectfulness for other Africans, they were OVERCONFIDENT to beat the hell out of the Black Stars and, thus, never took their pre-match preparation serious, which led to this disastrous defeat. Now what, African Negroes??

So, lastly, to the Egyptians: SHADE OFF your damn silly and negative attitudes towards other Africans and count yourselves as AFRICANS and not Middle Easterners. You are Africans and if you are not, SOME TRUE AFRICANS HAVE SHOWN YOU THE STREGNTH OF AFRICANS. "Go home in shame and we will beat your ass again in your own country in November." WHAT A SWEET WIN??

For the first time, I am impressed in one Trokosiman, Christian Atsu, a naturalized Ghanaian of Togolese origin, for doing something good to help his adopted country, Ghana. The rest of his lot are out there stealing cat and fowls , killing and threatening judges, and looting dry the nations coffers. I hope the rest will emulate their brother, Atsu, and do something good to help their adopted homeland.

In my opinion, the GFA must insist on a neutral ground for the return match with Egypt. It would be unwise to play the return match in Egypt, 'cause the PLAYERS as well as the fans will be intimidated to achieve their means, to score 5 goals without a reply from the Stars. Secondly it would be unsafe for the Ghana support fans travelling to Egypt. FIFA must take a wise stance on the matter. I'm really worried.

Isn't the same BRADLEY who said:

I knew he was a joke,because,he himself was scared to death.
Fear produces doubt,that can stop the product of faith,and can even,schedule disaster.
Faith produces confidence,that helps one to wait(in the incubate of time) in expectancy,to receive his miracles.
Of course,Bradley people do not know this.
ALLAH DOES NOT TEACHES THIS.

Ghana Black Stars always dance to the stadium:
THAT EXPRESSES AN ACT OF FAITH AND CONFIDENCE IN THEM.THEY DO SOMETHING CONSISTENT TO WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN:
PLAYS GOOD.
They win in the end.

The first time,they showed up at the WORLD CUP,they greeted everybody on the stadium with a dance and singing.
I saw faith in our boys,then.
NO DOUBT,THEY PERFORMED BEYOND WHAT A STARTER(PROTEGE) COULD DO.
Ghana will win hands down in Egypt,now that their back is against the wall,and we know they are scared of us.

I won’t be surprised if the military junta in Egypt sends him a special plane to New York instead of Cairo. I am not very sure if Mr. Bradley knows what soccer and qualifying for the world cup means to nations like Egypt. Yes they might have lost to a better side; but his comments after the match will not sit well with a soccer-crazy nation like Egypt. I am sure he will hear from the irascible crowd of Egyptian soccer. By the way, why did Egypt hire an American coach for their national team? This is not basketball

Egypt will not sack coach Bob Bradley after play-off loss

By Ian Hughes & Inas Mazhar

BBC Sport:
Egypt will not sack coach Bob Bradley after the side's 6-1 defeat by Ghana in Tuesday's World Cup play-off in Kumasi.

Reports have suggested the American would be sacked following the first-leg loss that all-but ends Egypt's hopes of qualifying for Brazil.

But Egypt would have to pay Bradley about US$366,000 in compensation.

And Egypt Football Association chairman Gamal Allam said: "It is not logical to sack him and pay a big fine for the last match of his contract."

However, it is understood that the Egyptian FA is looking at the possibility assistant coach Diaa El Sayed might have to take charge of the team for the 19 November second leg in Cairo because of fears over Bradley's safety.

The humiliating defeat in Ghana has led to anger among some Egyptian sports fans and the police were forced to increase security at the airport ahead of the team's return home on Wednesday morning.

Allam believes those angry fans will not allow Bradley to lead the team in the second leg.

In the past two days the police and the army have clashed with with fans' group, Ahly Ultras, who tried to attack the Ahly handball team after they were beaten to the gold medal in the Champions Handball League by a Tunisian side.

Last week, Ghana wrote to Fifa to ask for the second leg tie to be moved from Egypt because of safety fears and Fifa has given the Egyptian FA until 28 October to provide security guarantees.

Listen Bob, your team run into a motivated, concentrated team comprising of many world class players. Didnt you expect your team to be nervous when faced with such quality, experience, poise and superior know how? Accept it, you were thrashed by a much better team, period, blaming the loss on nervousness is lame, irresponsible and therefore does not wash. I think your P45 is in the post from the EFA. My boys will beat you at home as well, what excuses will you give then (assuming you will still be their coach then)?

Thanks for suggestion this. The black stars should not go to Egypt.

Mathematically wrong! Points are awarded only in the Group Stages.
We are in the Elimination Stage now; so if you fail to turn up in a match, you are automatically eliminated.

Shut the fuck off wanna be an American hero. Your big mouth took the same team and beat the weak teams in the D. group. "We respect the black stars but we don,t fear them". Now you respect and fear them. This is not the American thrash talk sport. Ghanaians are humble arrogant people. Don,t thrash talk because you pee them off. So keep talking again and see what will happen on the 19th of Nov. The score is really 6-0 but your Arab brother cheated for a penalty so you don,t go home with zero in your pockets.
