Poor Bradley not in 99.9% safe Egyptians.

Ladies and Gentlemen. Its now cristal clear that the once beloved country and "our wives" is NOT SAFE to play the return match there, due to present violence situation in the country.
If their own coach is not safe to handle their national team, then what do you think will happen to the Black Stars and their supporters and even those residing in the country? So GFA must force the FIFA to change the venue for the return match.
Even they can play it in TOGO OR BENIN.

This is one of the many evidence FIFA should consider to move the return game from Egypt. If the coach is not save how about out team?

With all due respect to the Egyptian FA, military, police and sports ministry, the most obvious and sensible thing to do is to shift the match away from Cairo or even outside Egypt.
It would have made sense if there was a maximum deficit of three goals but with five goals, it is all but a lost cause. That is not to say, Egypt cannot score more than four goals but the quality of the opposition makes this a very uphill task.
The likelihood of political unrest is much higher than qualification. Give it a rest and keep the peace.

Moving the match to a neutral grounds should not be negotiable, considering all the violence in the that country. This is human life we talking about here FIFA.Given the Egyptian FA until 28 October to provide security guarantees is a senseless talk from FIFA, the safety of our players shouldn't be negotiated in any shape or form. GFA wore be ties you to dare go to Egypt. Stupid FIFA, don't have any respect for mankind, it clear their country is not safe, not even for their citizens.

I dare to say...letting this game continue will become a disaster because if Ghana wins hell will break lose in Egypt and thus FIFA should now if something happens to even 1 single player or handler of the Ghanaian team, their days will be counted..we have to sue them in every country possible and take them to justice since they know the situation at hand!!

These are all warning signs to Ghana, even the Egyptian players and the coach fear for their safety, how about the Bstars who has beaten them in a match. I say, the FA should not take the black stars to Egypt period!

This clearly shows that Egypt is not safe for the return match. GFA should stand their ground and ensure that it is held at a neutral venue outside Egypt.
