You see how they plan to neglect Ghana's protest? They want to give him this post from Cairo so Ghanaians forget about the injustices done to the national team in Uganda. Ghanaians must understand that politics and corruption reigns in football. That is why we should have taken our games seriously. Our leaders have been selling us out since colonial times. The GFA will give up on the protest and Egypt will go to the World Cup. But Mohammed Salah and his colleagues are not up to Ghanaians in terms of quality. It is our own mistakes that has cost us this. Now, the FA officials whose greed led to all this will finish us off, by allowing themselves to be bribed. These Arabs have always known us to be daft and timid people. It is sad they are simply proving it to be right. It should not have come to this!
