    Stop all these nonsense it only game I am sick and tired of fear. “Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself” FDR

  • Glover 12 years ago

    I support that . Egypt is playing Zambia on the same stadium before the Ghana Game so I am sure nothing will happen there . Let the Bs go and give it all they can and get it over.

  • Eric 12 years ago

    Yes, but Egypt is playing Zambia in a friendly behind closed doors ! Why do they want to play against Ghana in front of potentially troublesome fans?

  • NOKORE NA EYE OOH 12 years ago

    SUPPORTERS NEED TO BECAREFUL TO KEEP COOL AFTER GHANA WINS THIS MATCH.

  • Iwan 12 years ago

    I think the GFA should do everything to telecast the match live. The Egyptians will know they are being watched and our players will know we are watching. There is an Egyptian in every corner of the world.

  • Azonto Man 12 years ago

    The match is going to be televised live but GFA will have no control over the live shoot. CAF signed a contract to have all the final qualifying matches televised live. Live TV has never stopped violence at football matches ...

    What is this negative story? No Black Star player is afraid. They are going all out to beat Egypt in their back yard.

  • bashings 12 years ago

    do away with such negative thinking

  • Yaw 12 years ago

    Nyantakyi should stop the rubbish and only focus with his complaint to FIFA. Ghanaians have done nothing to
    Egypt. In-fact they will love us winning to show the so called military coup leaders where shame and power really l ...

    Who is this stupid journalist spewing garbage and creating panic in the public domain???

  • MAKA 12 years ago

    My brother, the writer of this article is a disgrace to sports journalism in this country.

  • MAKA 12 years ago

    I have been part of a voice that wanted the match played outside Cairo and also supported the move to get FIFA to gurantee out safety in Egypt,but people this very article is baseless and saddened by it. For Christ sake, we a ...

  • 4 Year Old 12 years ago

    This is a useless article meant to inject fear in the hearts of the galant BLACK STARS. This is a psychological warfare initiated by an Egyptian. The Pharaohs and their armies have gone under the sea

  • Adama, Texas 12 years ago

    What is all this nonsense? We are playing against our brothers who are going through tremendous crisis. At least, we should lend our support in their struggle by honoring their efforts of trying to get back to some normalcy, ...

    why don't you travel to Egypt to watch the game if you have a positive mind?

  • The Pan Africanist, USA 12 years ago

    If life is more valuable than this perceived fear, then Ghana should withdraw from the tournament and FIFA should send Egypt to Brazil.

  • The Stallion 12 years ago

    I thank you & the guy called Nyansasem.

    If we can't stop complaining, it's better we withdraw to allow Egypt, who are ready, to go to the World Cup!

    It's as simple as that!!!

  • AFRIQUE 12 years ago

    AS USUSAL, OUR "BUSY ABOUT NOTHING" OFFICIALS OF GHANA'S GFA AND MINISTRY OF YOUTH & SPORTS ARE JUST CREATING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR FREE JOY RIDES PLUS COOL "PER DIEMS" FOR SHOPPING AFTER "MEETING" FACE-TO-FACE WITH SEPP BLATTER ...

    It is difficult to understand why we want to frighten ourselves as if there is something to benefit from it. Let us be real. There is no contentious issue between Ghana and Egypt. We know it and the Egyptians know it. What is ...

  • Martin/PA 12 years ago

    To hell with this fear mongering. I have so many Egyptian friends who are looking forwards to a good game between Ghana and Egypt. The military government has promised security for the game. Where are these negative rhetoric ...

  • HAAAAAABA!!! 12 years ago

    I wish Ghana black stars all the best but, however if should any case they score neither of the players must run to the touch lines to celebrate but rather do all enjoyments at the center of the circle for safety wise. Please ...

    Bravo!!!me brethren,this is the time to support the Egyptians to honour our first president.Ghana,dont be afriad to play your soccer in Egypt be`cos they`ll recognize your solidarity and respect you even after the game.

  • danny 12 years ago

    This paper is being unnecessarily alarmist!

  • Ibn Batuta 12 years ago

    The only anxiety is on the part of this stupid writer whose only aim is to create panic and confusion. The Egyptians know it would be a tall order for them to qualify and hence have resigned themselves to that fact. It would ...

    BLACK STARS DO NOT NEED THIS SHIT TALK AND WHICH HATER IS PROMOTING THIS TRASH SHOULD STOP IMMEDIATELY. BLACKSTARS WILL BE IN BRAZIL EVEN IF WE HAVE TO PLAY IN WAR TORN SYRIA.

  • kwadwo 12 years ago

    Stop all these nonsense! The game is a 45 minutes game. Blackstars need to focus for 45 minutes in first half and ball game over. 5-4-1 formation for the first half. Up by 5 goals. Just play for a draw in the first half. Afte ...

    Egypt is a done deal and the Egyptians know it. The return match is only a formality. They have already blamed their lost to their current crises and their poor performance in the first leg. Therefore such piece of journalis ...

  • stray-bullet 12 years ago

    This paper is doing the bidding of the Egyptians rather than Ghanaians. Its rather causing panic among the playing body and officialdom. We must try to investigate the loyalty of this paper to the black stars quest of qualify ...

    the government to keep pressing for a venue change....Every person has only one life......It should be a fair competition...Ghana should not lose because the match is being played at a dangerous location...

  • OKOROMANSA 12 years ago

    THIS STORY IS VERY CONFUSING INDEED. IF EGYPT IS ALLOWING 30,000 SPECTATORS TO WATCH THE GAME AND GHANA WOULD NOT SEND ANY SUPPORTERS THEN THERE IS A PROBLEM. SUCH A CRUCIAL GAME WITH OUR PLAYERS AND OFFICIALS ALONE IN CAIRO ...

  • Joe Boateng,SA 12 years ago

    And so Alhaji Grusah, the fact that Egytians bear us no grudge is not the issue, the security situation is just not conducive for a fair game. FIFA is using us to unify Egyptians and do not care about the safety of our playe ...

  • Asem beba dabi 12 years ago

    Its the same fear mongering that Zambia entertained when they were coming to play in Ghana. The Egyptians know they are not going to Brazil. All they want is to redeem themselves with a draw or a win.

  • Joe Boateng,SA 12 years ago

    How do you compare the security situation in Ghana with the present situation in Egypt?

  • Supporter 12 years ago

    We all know that terrorists attack the security services in public, and if innocent by-standers get caught up in the chaos, who cares? So the Egyptians who may have nothing against the Ghanaians may decide to attack their own ...
