Ghana FA set to end Mario Balotelli chase

Abbey wants talk on Mario Balotelli to end
The Ghana Football Association looks to have given up the chase on Mario Balotelli after the youngster was handed his first Italy call-up last week.
The Inter Milan forward could earn his first cap in Wednesday’s friendly against Ivory Coast in London.
The Italy-born Ghanaian has turned down several offers to play for the West African country and Ghana FA spokesperson Randy Abby says the curtains should be drawn on the matter.
“We are not giving up and we are not chasing. The first thing is that a player must be committed to play. It is the player who must be willing to play and you can take the necessary step to make it possible for him to play,” Abbey told Joy FM.
“But if the player has consistently told you that he is not interested, he feels Italian, what do you continue doing? That is my personal opinion,”

THANK YOU
it is always silly on our part to have kept chasing this guy even when he had snubbed us severally. it is tantamount to chasing the balls of a bull hoping it will drop for you pick up! He would have clearly destroyed the unity in the team’s camp. he shd not be welcomed.Period!
what is wrong with Ghana FA? Is he the only best player in the world? fuck!
i totally agree with the fa,s spoke person.effort have been reach through several mediums to enable him the player mario to just say yes i want to play for ghana.but the plyer is not ready.and have vow not to play for ghana. so let end it and keep the dream of our local player high and confidence.
Mario is not that good anyways. why are ghanaians sweating this fool? Concentrate on developing Jordan ayew. We want players with pride.
we black and to be precise Ghanaians are very proud of ourselves and moreover love our beloved country.If we do not trust in our current Black Star Team then lets drop all n do new recruit new ones.Ghana is blessed with all kinds of sports with little training,a well built and behaved team is base on discipline so if Sulley has been shown the door out why bringing in someone we all know his lifestyle is full of INDISCIPLINE to HELL with his kind of play which without HIM we have been winning matches,GFA please spare us by not talking about this Black guy who thinks or look down on this lovely colour of us.Forget about him and let us all rally behind what we have and always say thank you to GOD almighty for bringing us a great and discipline TEAM
Mr.Abbey what about the case of Frimpong
People. Wake up and have some self respect.
He says he will not play for Ghana. He wants to play for a country that did worse at the world cup than we did… We do not need him.
One man does not make a team…not ronaldo, rooney, tevez, kaka.
Did any Italian score moregoals than Asamoah Gyan??
There are more players waiting to take over from Muntari and Essien. We have the golden boot star from the under 20′s…Does Mario have a golden boot??
I really dont understand what is wrong with this gfa guys.this guy has shunned us several times,so why did it take mr.abbey so long to come out with his opinion?and from the little i know of this guy he is indisciplined and arrogant even more than mutari so it could be a blessing in disguise not to break the unity in the team.lets leave him alone period.
Mario is overrated. What has Mario accomplished thus far? Mario Barwuah hates himself and his skin colour. Mario always condemns his biological parents but pictures that have circulated with Mario definitely not two years but atlast 10yrs laughing in the presence of his mother depict another story contrary to what Mario has been spreading. Ghanaians just dont give ther children. The Ballotelli family has done their best to brianwash Mario and keep him away from his biologiocal parents by virtue of their economic status. Mario will wake up one day but it will be late. Until then, Ghana, keep moving forward and th futureof the Black Stars with proud players loke Kevin Prince Boateng, Dede Ayew, Asamoah Gyan, Kwadwo Asamoah has never been brighter. Its only a matter of time Ghana will Ghana win the world cup
