Ghana-Liberia friendly unlikely to gain FIFA recognition

Ghana-Liberia friendly unlikely to gain FIFA recognition

Ghana trails Liberia by 2-0 at half time

The Ghana-Liberia friendly is unlikely to gain FIFA recognition after the referee shortened the duration of Tuesday’s game.

Liberian referee Jerry Yekeh played just forty minutes of the first half of the game which was delayed for over one hour.

According to FIFA rules, matches must be played in two halves of at least 45 minutes each.

But with the match not played to its full duration FIFA is unlikely to allow the result to be considered in its monthly ranking system.

Wins in friendly matches normally attract one point in the FIFA monthly ranking system.

It is not known why referee Yekeh reduced the duration of the game which led to protests by some of the Ghana players at half time.

The Black Stars were trailing 2-0 at half time in the game being played in Monrovia to mark Liberia’s Independence.

    Thank God because we are currently loosing… I am listening to the commentary and it sounds like there is nothing we can do to revert the scores. It is currently 2-0 against Ghana.

  2. Young says:

    This sounds very fishy – No wonder its not being televised..

  3. Dr Who says:

    The referees are bias

  4. frank mensah says:

    why is it that we Ghanians let our self so cheap that little penny other country give to us for us to play friendly match with them we follow all what i mean is our players play nation cup qualifiers just three days ago and GFA send them to Liberia to play dis match for what reason our leaders is killing Ghana football when referees cheat us and we lose a match or a game and it affect our FIFA Ranking then people will sit some where and say our players are not serious FA president should be boot out from the office waa look at what is going in liberia now any move our players take is eir referee rule us offside this is what happened if we ve vision-less leaders handle our football

  5. kimco says:

    did someone say the ref are bias, they should end the match to help us avoid more embarassment really

  6. KWAME NAAGBEWA says:

    WIKILEAKS…some elements within the blackstars were bought PLUS WE all know the referees were bought = ghana loose by 2 early goals.
    I VERY MUCH SUSPECT THE LOCAL GOALIE FATAU DAUDAU AND ONE OR TWO DEFENDERS KNEW ABOUT THIS. KWARASEY WOULD NOT HAVE AGREED SO HE HAD TO BE RELEASED AFTER THE MALAWI GAME! 2 EARLY GOALS IN 5 MINUTES RIGHT AT THE START OF THE GAME MY ASS!!
    ANY SMART PERSON CAN TELL. hahaha corruption for you. MAFIAS WITH NO DIGNITY!

  7. Mojahadine says:

    This is stupid and counter productive for Ghana. Are we now selling games for money? Under no circumstance should Ghana ever trail Liberia in any game. What is wrong with this Akwesi Appiah Guy. Is he an idiot trailing Liberia in a football game?

    This is shameful the least, None of the foreign coaches would have gone along with such an idiotic and disgraceful venture. Akwesi Appiah is showing how unethical and inexperience a coach he is, humiliating the Ghana Black Stars in such a manner?

    We need to get rid of Akwesi Appiah, Nyantakyi before it is too late. Akwesi Appiah is corrupt and weak. May be his genetic makeup predisposes him to go along with such a fraud. This is what the Blackstars have become? Unbelievable.

  8. Anifoli Bismark says:

    We have to think otherwise our leader will disgrace us badlly

  9. papi says:

    Ghana lucky the ref. ended the game at half time, LIB was going to give Ghana 5-0. all these ghana fan can cry all day, LIb dont care about fifa ranking, we just want to have fun. Ghana can take all the ranking points, but remember LIb beat your 2-0. hit me on twitter @icecoldliberian

  10. Tesla Addo says:

    LET US ACCEPT DEFEAT IN GOOD FAITH. WE WERE BEATEN BY A BETTER SIDE. OUR COACH IS NOT UP TO SCRATCH. HE CAN’T READ GAMES. HE DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO PLAY AWAY GAMES. HE IS PURPOSELESS, VISIONLESS AND FAVOURS PLAYERS WHO PLAYED FOR HIS FORMER TEAM.

  11. adangabe says:

    and u fink KPB has insulted Ghanaians? The next news item u will hear shall be ‘kwarasey plays selective matches’ so that Ghanaians will crucify him just as KBP has been taunted.oh GFA WHY ALL THESE???

  12. GHANAarmedROBBER says:

    When we lose we look for excuses …….tell me why wont Fifa recognize the match or is it because Black Stars is involved???? Rubbish…..accept defeat and stop looking for excuses or where or whom to put the blame.

  13. franklin says:

    why must this result have all Ghanian saying the match was sold to Liberia….have you people of Ghana forgotten when you was hammered by the lone star of liberia 3-1 at the stadium in accra in a world cup qualifier match…so tell me what strange about us beaten the black star….you people have to remember we are the only country hold a world best player in Africa..king George Weah

    • Mojahadine says:

      Just one recognized player and you are so happy? Just keep quiet. Do you consider an 80minute game refereed by your refree a game? Anything could have happened within the 10 unplayed minutes. This game was not finished by your countryman, the referee. What is your overall record against Ghana anyway, if you can selectively remember your wins?

      Just enjoy this meaningless birthday gift given to you by our idiotic GFA boss and his lunatic coach. The whole country knew what’s up when they decided to play a game with a liberian team on a muddy Samuel K. Doe stadium? What’s up with you guys? still giving credence to this SKD?

  14. adolphus says:

    we did not pay to win at home against nig.is it a game that was meant for fun and building the relationship between the two countries?
