Michael I understand your sentiments, but there are times you have to trust those around you.What else do expect GFA to do? In my candid opinion every possible avenue has been exploited and results have been achieved.GFA has even sought the presence of FIFA and as I write now she (GFA)is in Egypt on the same issue.I will humbly entreat you to concentrate on the game and leave the security aspect to those in authority.And please learn to keep your mouth shut.Do not bring down the morale of those who through thick and thin ,have brought us so far,when some of you refused the call for national duty.The young guys are ever-willing to hold the flag of mother GHANA high regardless of the place and time.This is what we proudly call patriotism.If one door is closed, many more are opened,and that's to say the kids are ready to step in and continue to do what they've been doing without you.

Ghanaweb must stop repeating what Essien said about a week ago when Ghana was still seeking security details. Those details have been satisfactorily laid to bare for the Ghanaian security delegation, so stop publishing the same thing over and over. Let the STARS concentrate!

The Egyptian government lifted their curfew today, why? Did the security measures put in place included lifting the curfew? The meaning is that brigands, vagabonds and galivanters are being unleashed unto the streets to cause mayhem if Egypt fails to qualify.

If I were Essien, who is reckoned as a top class international player, I would opt out of the tournament entirely because the Ghanaian officials do not seem to be able to stick up to their fears of playing in Egypt.

Cheap people like you Akoko Darko who want to risk the life of others only because you selfishly want to enjoy football are sickening to say the least. You are a backward moron.

This is an excerpt from the interview he gave before he left Ghana. He's NOT given any since then. This new report on an old story comes out right after a joint team from Ghana and FIFA had concluded that it's safe to play the match in Cairo. The timing couldn't be any better. Although it might send a message to FIFA that some members of the black stars are still not comfortable with the situation in Cairo it also has the potential to put Essien at odds with fans as well as push the panic button. Once again stupid journalism, Ghanaweb you can do better than this.

the writer is up to mischief. apart from this, essien went further to give assurance that they will play the match. why did the writer just quote essien out of context.

Essien has every right to air his and the teams view irrespective of all options being sought. the players will do their part, how many fans form Ghana awe go to Egypt from their own will if not being sponsored. it is not safe but it is what it is.

My advise to all the players is to reject that and ask for a neutral venue cos no one can replace life.The question is: Is Ghana worth dying for? Shd we wait for God to come down before we can see the volatile effect. Dnt!!

Essien, please concentrate on the match and stop all this fear mongering business..........I bet if Mourinho had asked you to play for Chelsea there, you'd would keep your mouth SHUT and gotten on with it!!!!!!

Just get on with representing your country and stop the whinging......or else your fear of playing there, will filter through to the other players and Egypt could end up stopping us from going to the world cup.

GOD BLESS GHANA!

Rocky, I take it that you are not a Ghanaian but, a foreigner trying to cause discourse in our society. It's obvious you live in Ghana to better your life....whatever, the situation here is....I'm convinced you are NOT a Ghanaian.

Your comment - 'Akan Niggers' places you as a racist bigot indeed and you need to be flushed out of our society..............
Since you are not a coward, please reveal your identity to us. It's people like you we don't need in our country and should be ashamed of your senseless comment, even if you are Ghanaian or not!. Thank you!

GOD BLESS GHANA!

Osama Bib-Laden,during his first interview,after the 911 brutal,savage event on the TWIN TOWER(NEW YORK) said:
I STAGED THIS EVENT,IN ORDER THAT AMERICA SHOULD ENTERTAIN FEAR.
These Egyptians lawless mob,can use fear on the BLACK STARS,to capitalize on it in the coming football qualifying game,for world cup 2014.
I love what ESSIEN SAID:
I DO NOT FEAR THE TEAM BUT THE MOB'S REACTION.
If they have the confidence to beat the team,they have to have the same confidence in God to protect them,as well.
That is my advice to the BLACK STARS.
Fear produces doubt,and doubt can stop the product of faith,and could even schedule disaster.
While faith produces confidence,that sustains one,to wait,in the incubate of time,to receive his miracle/an answer to a prayer.
Joshua said:
I put before you life and death,therefore choose life,so you and your children might live.
The BLACK STARS can choose to have faith in God for their protection,or entertain fear,for their own risk.

Shouldn't Egyptians be the ones shaking in their boots. We go in like the champs and show them who is boss. They will respect us more for acting like the champs we are than the sissy tweets and lines coming from players.
