    We will still not go. They should let thier $100,000 support them. I am not wasting my time to go and watch this fools score own goals and kiss their $100,000 after.

  • CITIZEN ONE 9 years ago

    Wait a minute, I have to assume that this is standing room only and at ground level. How are you going to allow a stampede into a real stadium if the gates are left ajar?

    Such unintelligent human species. Why did God creat ...

  • Iwan 9 years ago

    You pay to cheer them to qualify and the next thing you know the lucky ones called to the tournament will ask for a frogs liver each before they play. The supporters are right. What's the point?

  • Akadu Mensema 9 years ago

    Boycotting the black star matches by the fans is the only language that would force both Nyantakyi and Kwesi Appiah to resign.
    Even if I would get paid to watch it I will not watch. They are trying to be smart because people ...

    Look at the clueless coach trying to shift blame and put it on the players instead of himself.

    I do not know how some of our ministers think. because they want to appease fans, this why we are where we are even now. What is the rational in this?

    bunch of greedy, money chasing group led by corrupt officials. They are not sportsmen.

    my folks in kumasi shouldn't support the stars after what they did to the nation. we supported then to qualify only to boycott and not train for their matches. even if it is free, the supporters should not go.

    The minister should call on the NDC supporters to go to the stadium. We know that the Black Star is for NDC according to Joseph Yammin. Their supporters escaped after the world cup to USA etc so their numbers had decreased
