Egypt stand in Ghana’s Brazil dreams

Share

  1. Zambia knows how to hundle Egypt but with these guys especially if they play later after 18 in flood rights only their teeth will be seen.

  2. take them to tahira square to train. Or may be better you take them to top of the pyramids for training. Leave them there and the following day leave them in front of the stadium , but they should not enter it. All their delegates should be handed over to the Moslim Brotherhood for check-ups until the second half when they shall be release. Useless Ghanaians.

    • Africa needs it best teams in the World cup,and between Ghana and Egypt on the International stage- Ghana is way better that Egypt. Egypt has done very well on the continent but not on the world stage.

  3. Won’t be mere sailing through for either team. Egypt have had their issues lately and Ghana boasts of legion of European-based stars.

  4. my God this is a tricky one for ghana, but i still would put my money on ghana . it pains they eliminated us ofcourse but i think ghana is the best team and only hope for africa out of all these ten teams to represent us. cote’d voire cant be trusted, nigeria is just like zambia [wins through luck] , cameroon are a shadow of their former self, egypt and tunisia are fearless against world class opposition but the arab uprising has had its toil on football standards in these countries.

    • In their tussles, both Egypt and Ethiopia will sail through . The strength of Egypt is in Bradley, their coach. He is up to speed. He does his homework. The strength of Ethiopia is in running the full 90 minutes without a sweat.

  5. its time egypt did us a favour, all the demostrators at the mosques, tahrir square,cairo university should use their newly acquired terrorists techniques from al-queda, al shaabub, to defeat useles primitive ghananian khaki stars.

    • Don’t forget Zambia started the cold treatment of its visitors in the first leg, I read it on BBC. from what I read, Zambia’s travel preparation to komase or Kumase was everybad, Camping in SA, etc. That did them in.

    • @kabova. Ghanaians are not stupid, Go back to your parents and learn some manners. They beat Zimbia because they are better side, well organised with quality and class. Ask Bob Bradley and he will tell you Ghana is not the side he would have prefer. Bradley have suffered two defeats in the hands of Ghana. Football is a game not war!!!!

  6. Egypt will end Ghana’s dreams….I guess payment for mistreating Zambia.Egypt .CIV is thru,1,2,3 VIV Algerie,Cameroun thru and a shocker as Ethiopia stuns the super eagles.
    so it will be..Egypt,CIV,Algeria,Cameroun and surprise surprise Ethiopia.

  7. Zambia’s preparation against Ghana was very poor. Why attempt to fly to a local airport from Zambia? Why cry foul when you arrive more than two hours late for your training? I pray that the best teams win to represent Africa in Brazil. Discipline is part of the game of football

  8. Ghana bazamutimba kuyipa ba Egypt.

    There is nothing special about their squad- The first goal we conceded against them was a school boy error on the part of Mweene. You should never take things for granted until the referee blows the whistle no matter how obvious the circumstances may seem.

  9. @umwina Zed,

    Ba Cape Verde fielded an ineligible player- the same way we won 3 points from Sudan but failed to exploit the windfall.

  10. The current black stars makula if you watched the game clearly there first goal was by chance.Mwene and the defenders saw as if the ball had gone out of play.. while the second one was either a try goal or a fluke.This was how they won that game..there goals were nothing to write home about.The real black stars are gone now these were likes of abedi pele & team. This time they are in for rude shock against Egypt.Just wait and see.

  11. Ghana can’t beat Egypt wat ever happenes if you remember in angola last 8 were beaten 4 -1 and won the african cup.Egypt always defeat western guys.EGYPT,ALGERIA,CAMEROON,NIGERIA AND IVORY COAST would qualify.

  12. Apart from Zambia, all the group C mates of 2013 Africa Cup of Nations Ethiopia, Nigeria and Burkina Faso have gone through to the 2014 World Cup playoff qualifiers , just an observation. The painful point to note, though, is that despite failure to qualify, it is only Zambia from this group that were given free points by FIFA and Renard has the audacity to rate himself well!

  13. My fellow Zambians here are acting like ostriches, trying to hide from the truth. Discipline also counts in football, the GFA told u your plane cannot land in Kumasi Airport cos it’s not an international airport but u insisted because u know what u are up to, secondly your team arrived two hours late which by that time the stadium was closed. Lastly u lost the game on the pitch against a well determined side, which Kalusha Bwalya is aware of. Just accept your defeat and let Ghana be in peace.

  14. Remember that its not just about playing football, it’s about the eligible country to lift high the flag of Africa at the world stage. Ghana Black Stars is the team to do that.

  15. Zambians don’t worry your justice is coming nxt month,we saw what happened in Kumasi .I just want to let you know that Ghana are our babies .

  16. U people can go ahead and cry till your tears come blood. We have eliminated u from going to Brazil. You don’t have experience to play at the world cup. Whether u like it or yes, Ghana will qualify to the world cup, Egypt can’t stop us.

  17. I’ll be surprised if Ghana fails to beat Egypt –

    This farmer has about 500 hens, but no rooster, and he wants chicks. So, he goes down the road to the next farmer and asks if he has a rooster that he would sell. The other farmer says, “Yep, I’ve got this great rooster, named the Black star. He’ll service every chicken you got, no problem.”
    Well, Black Star the rooster costs 3,000,Cedis a lot of money, but the farmer decides he’d be worth it. So, he buys black Star. The farmer takes Black star home and sets him down in the barnyard, but first he gave the rooster a pep talk. “I want you to pace yourself now. You’ve got a lot of chickens to service here, and you cost me a lot of money. Consequently, I’ll need you to do a good job.! So, take your time and have some fun,” the…
