  • Kofi anan 10 years ago

    The idiots are actually CAF. If your own CAF agreed the match be played in Cairo, then FIFA is telling you who the 1st fool is. Egyptians proposed a security guarantee for FIFA to accept and Ghana doesn't know the details-??? ...

    Secondly, Ghana would like to take legal action against this CORRUPT leader and his organiz ...

    SENSELESS SANTO, Good Answer is not asking the U.S. to help Ghana.

    CONFUSED?

  • RastafaraI 10 years ago

    It would be stupid for FIFA to sanction the game in Egypt knowing that it is dangerous and not be responsible for it....If they are not prepared to take responsibility for anything, the match should be moved.

    Mr.N i don't think you read the statement very well because your comment never fit to what they wrote there , In GFA's statement, they where asking of security and assurance from the FIFA incase something different happen.
