  • Akwasi 12 years ago

    FIFA should evaluate the state of security prevailing in Egypt now. This is not about Egypt ability to host this game but about enemies of the Egyptian govt; any terrorist can sneak in to cause harm just to send message.

  • Rasheed@Rasheedmulor. 12 years ago

    It seems Mahama has lost control of everything, and is now chasing "Shadows". What is the work of the GFA boss then?, Who is Abedi?Is it because you know him from Tamale during your school days?

  • AKB 12 years ago

    Rasheed your mother anus, Abedi is powerful figure in football, so what is wrong if Mahama uses him to convince FIFA, Kwaseeeaaaaaaaaaa like you.

  • Rasheed@Rasheedmulor. 12 years ago

    Congratulations on your comments!. AKB.

  • Dt 12 years ago

    Nice comment AKB. Abedi was on Blatter's bid to be FIFA boss so if anybody in Ghana has the clout and/or personal relationship with Blatter to convince him, it's Abedi. Good job Prez. Mahama.

  • Rasheed@Rasheedmulor 12 years ago

    So does it mean Blatter only listens to people who have clout and not those in authority,like GFA.I had expected Maham to rather charge the GFA boss to his job rather than falling not a "friend".

  • johnny 12 years ago

    Asking Abedi is a good thing, actually, the President's 'friend' or not. We need to get this game out of Egypt and I don't care who helps to get it done.

    You realize that I spoke about clout and personal relationships. If requests come from several avenues, that creates a pressure situation where FIFA is forced to listen to you. As it is, Africans are never taken seriously in ...
