   I don’t think this shd be something caf shd worry their already useless heads about. The standard of the african game in this tourney is poor, attendance is horribly pathetic, n the prize money is woefully inadequate, vis a vis how much countries spend in peparation to the tourney. That walking dead man old evil dwarf greedy Hayatou is a monster. There’re more pressing needs they shd worry their brainless heads on other than on a kid who is soo excited n thanking Allah for helping him score a goal. Mtceeeew…

   Its easy to assume that a Professional will know everything about professionalism, i wonder whose duty it is to teach Wakaso. What a shame. I wish someday we (Ghana) will be represented by highly intelligent professionals.

       @ Baba Musah, you must be a watchman Kwasia who will hate Islam after all the good things it has brought to mankind, you are a total deviation from people of reason.
       This suspension is so unprofessional and can easily be avoided. Somebody above him is responsible, we love Wakaso all we are saying is he will have been better off with game saving card than this right here.

   Either way, FIFA rules also don’t allow players to display political or religious slogans on the field.

   What could count in Wakaso’s favour is the fact that Egyptian star Mohammed Aboutrika was not punished by CAF for a similar celebration at the 2008 African Cup of Nations.

   THIS SHOULD BE A LESSON. DID JAMES AKWASI APPIAH NOT SEE HIM PUTTING ON THE SHIRT? DID ANY OF HIS FELLOW PLAYERS NOT SEE HIM WEARING THE SHIRT OR WERE THEY SIMPLY NOT AWARE OF THE RULES?

     Appiah and his team do not know the rules.. look at Boyes and the Dauda handling the ball outside the box.. either Boye or Dauda or both did not know it was against the rules….

   Point of correction guys, Wakaso was not book for showing the inscription ‘ALLAH IS GREAT’ in his shirt but rather for covering his face with his jersey.

   No religious signs? What a bullshit!

   Then what about the countless players who make he sign of a cross after scoring? Or pointing their fingers and head upwards to thank heaven? Or the Egypt team that do the islamic thanking on their knees whenever a goal is scored?

   And now they want to ban Wakaso? Bullshit.

   That will b unfair. Even Pantsil was not banned for showing a zionist flag at worldcup which had nothing to do with ghana so CAF has no case. Wakaso… go scotfree and sin no more.

    Its funny how people can rush to judgement when something of that nature happened. If they ban Wakaso for the inscription he had on his under shirt, then we are all doomed be we CHRISTIANS OR MUSLIMS! Anytime the players walked into the field of play, it is the will of God that guides them. Didn’t we see the picture of the Nigerian footballer who collapsed and died afterwards with angels. Even though it was an art and not actual of the incident however, FIFA had it on fifa.com. Ignorance will never fade out of the face of the world. Ban Wakaso, and there wouldn’t be any religious person playing the beautiful game anymore. For about 80% of footballers are religious. Yes they are. How many players bend on their knees with their heads pressed to the ground thanking God for scoring a goal. How many player made the sign of cross before and after entering the field of play to appreciate JESUS and the scriptures. Nonsensical warning

    Kaka, was wearing a t-shirt says Jesus during his celebration in real madrid and why he wasn’t punished? This is not any political or religious thing cos we all say God when we are in good or difficult situation. Wakaso, good job and next time introduce Jesus and let see what the haters of Islam would say.

    They can never extinguish the light of Allah no matter what they do. Allah is the Greatest, unto Him we worship and unto Him we seek for help. We are not going to give examples of players that displace about Jesus. Let the world decide if what they did is right. Wakaso we love you
