    Keep your food and water safe. It's easier to negatively impact the players performance via food and water tempering than physical attacks. Ensure security measures from all angles. Good luck and God bless.

  • JOMO 12 years ago

    IN GHANA, AND INDEED ELSEWHERE, IT'S EVERY GHANAIAN FOR HIMSELF, GOD FOR US ALL.

    THIS NOTION OF SELF-CENTREDNESS AMONG GHANAIANS RUNS THROUGH THE ENTIRE "LEADERSHIP" OF GHANA RIGHT DOWN TO THE "COMMON GHANAIAN".

  • Esi-Nana 12 years ago

    It looks like sending the players to Damascus to play a game. Just move this damn game to somewhere safe.

    What GFA should have requested is:

    1. that the players should be airlifted by military helicopter to the roof of ...

    it's a go, there's no turning back now. all ghanaians travelling to egypt and back at home must stick to a positive thinking and a strong belief that no ghanaian will be touched on the pharoah land.

  • eric 12 years ago

    but with all this promises about security,do you know what is in one man mind? why laser beams and fire crackers at stadium? why not other place pleas? i love my players and the supporters.God can save only ones.

  • Wofa Ben 12 years ago

    The Ghanaian players should be conscious of their role on the pitch and leave the security duties for the Security Services of Egypt. they should not allow themselves to be distracted by helicopters hovering above the pitch.

  • mallam, md -usa 12 years ago

    Haba this is record setting....more than presidential security?

    Hope it is genuine

    Best of Luck BS...pls do not concede PENALTIES and score quick to annul the Egyptian's away goal

  • nii 12 years ago

    If one has to go through all these security before the matched is played then Fifa should right away change the venue because it is not safe. Why do you make such preparations if there isn't a threat? The threat is clearly st ...

    This is still rubbish. Football cannot be played under these circumstances. This underpin the fact that Egypt is still volatile. Ghana is taken for granted by FiFa and CAF. Would they do this to any European teams??? How??? W ...

  • T'pau 12 years ago

    GFA should have given their side of options too. For example, if laser beams and firecrackers are used in breach of the promises, the match should be stopped and Ghana must be declared winners.

  • jimy somer 12 years ago
