    Same atmosphere like our match with Zambia is needed if not more to overcome the Pharoahs of Egypt. we need more goals in the first league!

  • John,Tema 10 years ago

    There'll be no intimidation but we'll still beat them,I even have a feeling that we'll also beat them in Egypt.South Africa & Mali were also intimidating in 2006 & 2010 qualifiers but we won with the right mindset.

  • Nii 10 years ago

    Nyantekyi should stop the nonsensical tribalism. The pushing of the campaign that "Kumasi" is "good luck" stadium and Accra is "bad luck" stadium is a campaign Kuffour and his ready Ashanti hegemonistic and tribalistic hand-t ...

    Nii , people like you are plain pathetic. Who cares where a match is played if the results would be favourable? Back to your tribalism issue, Kumasi stadium is still named after Baba Yara but the ohene Gyan name of the one in ...

    That moron called Nii and his stupid family have sold their land to Akans and blames Asantes for his family's stupidity.

    nyantakyi is not ashanti, he is from the north. you are just jeolous of ashantis or akans. ashantis are the least tribalistic in ghana. stop this nonsense talk.

  • NO KUMASI NO GOAL+++ 10 years ago

    Where else do you want the game to be played? In accra, people are poor, they can't afford even kenkey so they surely can't buy ticket. Kumasi is the real deal, fool.

  • HAWA YAKUBU 10 years ago

    proximity is the major factor here my brother.don,t regurgitate any tribal bullshit.

    Ghana is going to beat Egypt by 4 goals to nil

  • The Stallion 10 years ago

    Now do you see why a local coach who scores more goals is better (even though we should be out-played and out-classed)? Go take the Serbians to score 1-0 for you, with all your 100% possession and "fine fine" game. The Egypti ...

    I say we need to score more goals I do not care 4 or 5 the Bob Bradley-led squad would do everything in the book to find an edge during the return match. GFA should start thinking and plan ahead. No stupid and foolish friendl ...

  • KojoLee@Dilemma-Situation 10 years ago

    We have to do everything in our power to hammer them at Baba Yara and go for draw at Egypt. I am not scared about the return match because Black Star is good at away matches than home.

    What is the fuss about? If Ghana dreams of winning the World Cup then it should fear no foe. If you are scared of Egypt now, wait until you get to Brazil to see your real opponents. Determination is everything. Good Luck.

    ALL THE BEST GHANA BLACK STAR

  • Martin 10 years ago

    Why is the match scheduled to be played in Kumasi and not Accra or Tamale? What is the rational behind playing in Kumasi? Does playing there provide the Black Stars with any measure of advantage?

  • the truth 10 years ago

    YEP, our chances in Kumasi is much better than anywhere else in the country. Full attendance and support is always guaranteed

  • Ern 10 years ago

    What are you talking about? Full attendance and support is also guaranteed at the Accra sports stadium.
    There are 2 advantages to kumasi:
    1. Bigger capacity (60,000 vs 40,000 in Accra) and
    2. our opponents have to land i ...

    Kumasi favours the Black Stars - they perform well there.

    The Stars struggle in Accra, and Tamale is rather small.

  • KojoLee@Dilemma-Situation 10 years ago

    Exactly! Kumasi carries all the advantages.

  • Dunaa, Chorkor 10 years ago

    Ghana must not enter the war of words that the Egyptians have started waging. Let Egyptians must be allowed to start and end that war alone. We must not be part of the "who owns the bragging rights" argument. Our concentratio ...

    Lol, Apia, with a name like DUNAA, Chokor, you should know that this guy is probably my fellow Ga Man, and the probablity that he follows Hearts is about 99%, and Kotoko 0.1%!

    I WATCHED THE MATCH BETWEEN GHANA AND ZAMBIA AT KUMASI AND AS A MATTER OF FACT THE PITCH IS TOO POOR AND EVEN SOME AREAS HAD NO GRASS AT ALL. IS ACCRA STADIUM NO MORE USEABLE. THE KUMASI STADIUM IS BELOW INTERNATIONAL STANDAR ...

    The Kumasi stadium is bigger (capacity of 60,000). Accra Sports staduim has a capacity of 40,000.

    The only reason for GBS playing outside Accra is the condition of the pitch and the entire state of the edifice. Other than that matches should be played in Accra.

  • Ern 10 years ago

    We need to score enough goals in this tie to make the return leg irrelevant. If we win by 4 or 5 nil, that would be good. We MUST keep a clean sheet as any goal they score may be multiplied by 2 due to the away goal rule. If ...

  • Appletus 10 years ago

    I agree with your comment. They are good at that-dramatizing.
    They will do anything for a penalty. And so the only way to take care of that is to score more goals in Kumasi-period.
    Then we can defend and counter in the retu ...

    Rhetorics should not lead us this time but action. How much time to do we have to assemble these players for the match? They are Essien, Muntari, Asamoah Gyan, Andre Ayew, Kevin Prince Boateng, Kwadwo Asamoah, Agymang Badu, J ...

    The goals scored by Muntari,Kevin and Dede in the Eurupean Champions League today would worsen the situation of the already terrified Egyptians.The buttocks of their keeper would be shaking tonight.

    YOU ARE VERY FUNNY, BECAUSE MUNTARI SCORED A GOAL FOR HIS CLUB DOES NOT MEAN THAT HE CAN REPEAT THE SAME FEAT WHILE FACING EGYPT. THINK AFRICAN, THINK!!!!
