Instead of calling it unfortunate this guy is telling us it is no mpney? Huhh! Seiously? Why in the first place did we need a customized armband? And secondly why should GFA pay 2500 cedis to satisfy one player? In the vent that it was an oversight, it would have been enough to just apologise to the good people of ghana instead of trivialising the issue.

Aftiyie''s comment is an endorsement of wrong n can best be described as stupid and divisive. You do this and to blame the Ayews as arrogant. I can't think far.

Yes let the FA pay the penalty from its own coffers. (Individually and collectively ) with their own cash. That will serve them right!

Anyway it may not be money to you cos you get it easily to steal so why won't you say that. After all the same people threw away over $300,000 to the Brazilians and nothing happened, so you can afford to say that from your ass wai

So you knew this was against FiFA rules and you allowed him to wear the band.
Use your brain in governance.

can u imagine the high level of stupidity and mismanagement ehibited my these black star manegers, knowing the law and delebrately flauting it to attract fines when such moneys could bechanelled to productive and more meaningful sports ventures. after all ,its not coming out of their pockets.
Mark my words , this is the begging of the second failure of akwasi appiah and his team with all the so called experience ex players

the coach should concentrate on pure football matters and stop encouraging disobedient behaviour. many watching the match could help but observe there was something unusual about the change of the captains band.

Even the legendary Maradona never wore it let alone the superstar Leo of Argentina. Should Ghana be fined for the offence, the management of the Black Stars must be made to pay from their pockets

I want to know if Asamoah Gyan informed the GFA Executive before allowing puma to customize the captains hand band, if yes, then it should be paid by the executives and from their own personal pockets, not from the tax payers money, if he Asamoah Gyan did not inform them, or they the executives do not subscribe to the usage of customized captains band, then he Asamoah Gyan must pay the fine from his own pocket, and must also be fined by the local GFA to infuse discipline in the team, our problem in this our dear nation is lack of discipline, better still, rule of law, Asamoah Gyan is not the Black Star, and the Black Star is also not Asamoah Gyan, what George Africa is saying, is what the most corrupt mind will be thinking of, I think better resigned, or removed from the executives if they the do not subscribe to what he said, other than that, the all should bow their heads in shame, this shows their incompetence, no wonder we are not able to win the cup for long time, they are only in to squeeze the Ghanaian hard earned funds that is been used to financed the team. This is a BIG SHAME to the GFA, they should come out to disassociate themselves from this irresponsible, corrupt, childish, subconscious talk.

This callous statement absolves people like Muntari and Kevin Prince Boateng. World governing bodies are very strict with breach of commercial rights. If FIFA regulations actually do not allow the use of customized brands in competitions and Ghana and Asamoah Gyan breached them then we should await a hefty fine. Taking a cue from skiers, when they appear for interviews no other logo apart from the approved ones must be visible on their outfit and skies. And if that idiot thinks Ghana has the money to waste then he must be fired. This attitude of “go and beat him, I will pay” cannot be exported. Not all judges collect goats and rams to give justice.

When an individual degrades the image of the country for self-promotion and personal glorification, it is an issue that must be discussed. Especially when the action is supported by some dead brain corrupt officials who see nothing wrong with it.
The Nation, however poor or rich, comes before any one individual and should not be subservient to any one individual. Not on the streets and not on the playing field.
May be the Asamoahs and the George Afriyies don't know this but the Muntaris do!

Any way, Asamoah's money and arrogance may buy some greedy corrupt minds but it will NEVER replace/dilute the proud colors or image of Ghana.

Was the FA responsible for the customization?? What was even the reason behind customizing the armband? Is this how they will be ready to spend our money on unnecessary "small issue"???

How come Kwasi allowed that to happen. The armband is not for Asamoah Gyan. Corrupt GFA you think $2500 is not money? OK use your pocket money to pay.
