    What about the Ghanaian fans, a very risky environment for Ghanaians supporters. Only Black Star and team officials are going to be safe, what about others?

    Thinking same thing myself

  • Mr.N 10 years ago

    Fifa said there would be enough security and our so-called GFA and Minister for Youth & Sports delegations had agree to the plan so what is your beef.There is nothing like total security you find total security in dead we the ...

    There were high risk lights flashed on the eyes of the Orlando Pirates keepers eyes for the start to the end of the game. I do hope GFA will get the tape watch the match themselves. I know the same thing will happen to our k ...

    Unless they search every spectator, those laser lights can be sneaked in. If you watch the match between Rale and Barca, those lights were on full display by Barca fans

    If ghana beats Egypt well in Egypt, there will be peace so we have to show them soccer in their home so that their fans will be silence cuz they think what happened in kumasi is luck..

  • Nyansasem 10 years ago

    Let's be grateful for the good work that GFA has done. Where have you heard about "absolute security?" Do you even think ALL football fans are protected in Ghana?

    The golden boys will encamped in Turkey, and fly to Cairo o ...

  • Adongo Johnson Kukurubini 10 years ago

    Why not send soldiers to go and support the Black Stars in Egypt ? they do go in their numbers for peace keeping operations ,they will survive more in case something happens there than the normal supporters .

  • Minta 10 years ago

    What else do you want mate? It is Football game not world war 3.I don't see the Numerous Ghanaian players who work and live in Egypt rushing out.We talk too much.

  • I M TIRED 10 years ago

    Is it fear of missing Brazil or security or both?

  • MENSAH 10 years ago

    I think,the fear is in both.
    Because,one fear(the angry mob's action) can scare them to lose concentration and therefore,the match.

  • I M TIRED 10 years ago

    Also I've just read from BBC news that hundreds of Al Ahly supporters clashed with the police before the kick-off between them and Orlando Pirates.

    anything that interrupts the game or player ability to play shd be brought immediately to the attention of the referee....those days that visiting teams are intimidated are long gone...

  • YAW#2 10 years ago

    THOSE ARE LASERS WHICH IS VERY COMMONLY USED BY EGYPTIAN AND EUROPIAN FANS TO TRY AND DISTRACT OPPONENTS BUT THEY DON'T WORK.IF WE LOOSE TO EGYPT IT WON'T BE BECAUSE OF THAT.GHANA BE BOLD, WE ARE HALF WAY THERE.

  • Yaw 10 years ago
