Gaf please get your lawyers working now and serve Fifa and Caf notice that if a single hair on any of our players are touched, they will pay for it. Also request for the presidents of Fifa and Caf be present at the game. I've never trusted these North Africans/Arabs. They have no regards for us black or dark skinned Africans. Black Stars go there and show them you fear no foes. Please don't drink their water nor have them prepare your meals. Take everything you will need and have security 24/7 with you, not one of their own, but take one of ours on the trip. We do not want any excuses should the contrary happen. Caf have always had it for Ghana, even when it benefits them. Go Black Stars, Long Live Ghana!!!!

You wait for Asamoa Djan and Dede Ayew go to Egypt and be killed by the Islamic terrorist and after that you go and hold Fifa responsible to bring the dead back to life, Ghanaians are fools. Ghana needs Niaja to teach them wisdom--If it were Naija, we will go to Fifa and force them to change their decision before the match

I am saddened by the nativity of the comments on this page. How can someone just get and call the GFA boss a bad lawyer and manager when you have no idea what the fact are in this situation? The GFA has adhered correctly to the charter between FIFA and the soccer nations. Don’t forget FIFA owns the competition so they have the right to change rules or venue. If a nation wants a venue to be changed the FIFA constitution says they have to present their case with facts and supporting data and the GFA has done that very well. If a ruling goes against you it does not mean just sue FIFA. They actually listened to Ghana’s petition and sent a delegation to Egypt to ascertain the situation. This is not the only FIFA sanction competition Ghana will be involved in so it’s best we stick to the code of conduct which we signed when joining FIFA. We can take it up to the CAS (Highest Sports Arbitration Court) but we will be better served preparing for the match than fighting FIFA in court. Although I don’t really know much about soccer in Ghana, taking all things into consideration I think the GFA have been very professional and represented Ghana very well in this matter.

Fifa didn't have to ask Egyptians about security assurance before taking decisions to move the match to a different venue.
In Egypt's place any other country would say it could guarantee security for our players. But most of us who know Egypt well know how much this decision is very risky. All we could do now is just keep our fingers crossed.

I don't understand GFA. How can someone see danger signs visibly written on the wall and dare to take the risk only to turn round to blame somebody else? If Ghana does not honour the match, FIFA will sanction Ghana and allow Egypt to go to the world cup. This is all FIFA can do (or want)and the whole world will know how biased the organisation that preaches fairness is. Will FIFA allow an european country to play in Egypt under the prevailing circumstances? Your guess is as good as mine. The two reasons given by FIFA for allowing the match to be played in Egypt are rather frivolous, if not absurd. Any check and balances by FIFA itself? If yes, then GFA must be briefed about the security measures in place and must be seen to have been satisfied with those meaasures. Otherwise, I would advise GFA to forgo the match and save the lives of our players and officials. A word to the wise is enough.

Because of what happened to Togo, we cannot take chances.

NYANTAKYI, lawyer, must file a lawsuit at the International Court of Justice and pray the court to overrule Blatter.
18 days to go.

Fifa is racist. They are saying the match should go ahead in Cairo, hoping Ghana will lose the match or be intimidated by the egyptians. If it was England playing egypt, am sure they would have moved the match elsewhere! Ghanaian fans should not travel there for their own safety. I will support Ghana but will not travel to an unsafe place. Ghana can beat egypt in Cairo, if the players focus and do their job professionally. Ghana is a better footballing nation than egypt.

Do not wait for something to go amiss.

Lodge a Formal complaint with FIFA now, and ask for the game to be moved to a neutral ground.

To deter truancy and rowdyism such as throwing of smoke bomb on the field of play while game is in progress, it is very important to invite the FIFA PRESIDENT SEPT BLATTER AND CAF PRESIDENTS to be personally and physically present at the CAIRO MILITARY STADIUM on the 19TH NOVEMBER 2013; when Egypt plays Ghana on the return encounter.
Besides Egyptian Security, AU, US RUSSIAN AND EUROPEAN SECURITY FORCES AND INTELLIGENCE SHOULD BE DEPLOYED BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THE MATCH TO PREVENT RIOTS AND LOSS OF LIMPS OF EGYPTIANS, GHANAIANS, REFEREES OR FIFA DELEGATION TO BE LED BY THE PRESIDENT, SEPT BLATTER.

You will hold FIFA responsible if black stars are killed. what good will that do?
Forfeit the match, Egypt will be declared a 3-0 winner, Ghana qualifies on aggregate.
