Supersport football pundit Mamadou Gaye
By Ameenu Shardow
African football pundit Mamadou Gaye has again predicted a first round exit for Ghana at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Black Stars have been drawn in Group B alongside Mali, Niger and Congo DR for the tournament which kicks off on January 19 in South Africa.
Ghana are overwhelming favourites to come out of the group as the top side as they aim to end a 31-year wait for an African title.
But the Ivorian football analyst who made a similar prediction for the Black Stars at the last edition of the AFCON in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea is again adamant Ghana will make a shameful exit this term after the first round.
“Let me tell you this group belongs to Mali and Niger,” Gaye said with a lot of panache on the weekly Soccer Africa show.
“With all these problems you are talking about in Ghana (referring to the recent disciplinary issue of Andre Ayew).
“I tell you Ghana will go home after the first round. You let’s just wait until January and see.”
Gaye’s comments about Ghana’s prospects at the 2013 Nations Cup is likely to attract a lot of bashing like it did earlier this year when he first made a similar prediction about the Black Stars.
Ghanaians in that episode however, accepted the challenge and proved the “Assassin of Abidjan” wrong as the Black Stars progressed all the way to the semi finals.
His latest negative expectations of the Ghana team is thus expected to have a similar effect of gingering the Black Stars to personal and national glory in South Africa.
Ghana opens its Group B account against Congo DR on January 20 before taking on Mali four days later.
The Black Stars will then finish of their group campaign against Niger on January 28 with all of its matches to be played at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth.
Hater!!
camon mr gay u cn kip hatin cos it maks us stronger
Dis is y i hate Zambia so much..they inflicted too much damage to our ego and now every team in Arfica think we de whipping boys!!!
He is entitled to his useless comments.After all that is what democracy is about.
Anyone can wake up, take some bottles of alcohol and effuse any comments they like al in the name of punditry.Wonder on what premise they make their analysis??? Who even made him a soccer pundit?? This guys always get it wrong with his bais and immature analysis but is still allowed to go on???
This gay man has never predicted in favour of Ghana. Even when the odds are obvious. Consequently he has never had any prediction right. He isn’t an analyst but rather an emotional soccer fan. I remember when he predicted that Mali was going to qualify instead of Ghana to the 2010 WC. I am surprised he can’t learn that he has lost respect because he never gets his predictions right. Unfortunately, his Ivory Coast may never equal the achievements of Ghana in his lifetime.
Ghanaians why eveyone who thinks oherwise ends up being un instant enemy….the man is a soccer pundit 4 Godsake!!!ataseee
I congratulate the Ghanaian man who stoled this mans wife,thats why he is mad, you are not great if you dont have haters,GH4LIFE
the same guy that predicted a 4-0 win for ivory coast in the final at last years afcon lol…gimme a break
Not last but this year. He predicted that Ivory Coast would wallop Zambia by 4-0 in the final, but alas he was shamed. Useless soccer analyst. He is just wishing good luck to Ghana and bad luck to Ivory Coast. His predictions are always not correct.
Gaye is jealous of Ghana because we’ve achieved more than his country. Ghanaians shouldn’t worry, these critisms make us stronger. We shall defeat any opponent including Cote D’lvoire.
MUhahhaaa, this fools is just like donald trump and RUSH LIMBAUGH. THEY WILL SAY ANYTHING RACIST AND DUMB TO GET ATTENTION. ASK HIM TO PUT HIS MONEY WHERE HIS MOUTH IS…KWASIA
Well, ghanaians will prove him wrong by winning the tournament at the expense of his native cote d’Ivoire, thus rendering his halucinatory analysis to that of a preschool toddler.
well l think he is helping Ghana. he is pointing Ghana’s weaknesses which would be strengthened n improved…he will be proved wrong.
I wont be surprise if he speaks under the influence of alcohol.
Dis guy keeps smoking da wrong stuff n its fuckn wit his head..he should bet his lyf savings on such predictions.
Gay is always biased against Ghanaian and its Players , He sees nothing Good in Ghana. But God is not an Ivorian . Does he think with his aging team they can win something. Super sports has given this unknown man a forum and he always makes statement that does not follow any logic.
Errrrrrrrmmmmmm.
no comment.
It will be a repeat of last years final..THE MIGHTY ELEPHANTS VS THE CHIPOLOPOLO!!!
I think this man is sick in the head and need to be checked.
And after what?
this man shud rather pray for de ivorians to qualify from their group than wishing de exit of Ghana. Ghana will surely do more than he can imagine.
GSN should point better team issues for us to deliberate on and stop invoking insults with unecessary news items
This is a wake-up call, embrace it and let it be your yardstick cos the face of African soccer is in a renaissance.In reality, we need strong players with a die-hard attitude. Arise Ghana !
This Gaye man is nt serious n envies d youthful Ghanaian team as against his aged Ivorian ones, of an average age of 31. We ll prove dis pundit wrong by lifting d Cup..
His face like shit wey don fall inside water!
The mean reason why the ivory coast has not won the troohy is due to the foolishness of this so called stone age african soccer expert!! U see alot of people see africans as stereotypes due to the stupidity and carass foolishness by this gay of a guy!! By their deeds we ll know them and see them and most people see africans thru the eye and image of this stupid son of a bitch… sometimes it saddens me a lot to see such a big entity as supersport which has a lot of world wide view to entertained such a manic, colonial and mentally deranged fool and an imbecile like this gay guy in their studios!! My closest friend once told me,he doesn’t understand why most western countries are called civilized countries because for him,the people are not civilized and i rightly corrected his erroneous perception!! I told him listen man,they are called civilized based on their state institution and we all have an idea how is run over here and he instantly understood me!! I can authorivately say then that supersport is an uncivilized institution run by highly untrained staff judging from this stupid son of a bitch gay of a guy!! So many countries has say a lot of bad stuff about this dude but he doesnt want to changed his so called militant way and this defines this gay of a gay as still living in his colonial abidjan era!! Better international football centers and its experts give u proper analysis of the game without any biased emotionals or sentiments!! This foolish son of bitch attacks a whole country without any proper reasons and is about time supersport called him to order before is too late because everybody loves his country and attacking one country in the name of football by this manic,depressed and xenophobic idiot will one day results in a very bad news for his family,loved ones and supersport because the last time i checked ivorians are killing one another with matchet without any reasons and hence this fool should use this platform to educate,inform and educate all africans irrespective of nationality!!! I think supersport dont know the implications of their actions(gaye) and before they realized they have set one african nation against another and least i forget it ll happen live in their zululand!!!! A word to the wise is in abidjan! !!! Vuva the revolutioncioooooooooooooool! !!!!!!!!
selfmade i second you to what ever you have said, i think it will be even better for his name gay to be changed to lesbian, because i think he have the right of a mind like a man, he always see things in football from women’s perspective. fool and and suck your mother.
Selfmade i second you to what ever you have said, i think it will be even better for his name gay to be changed to lesbian, because i think he don’t have the right frame of mind like a man, he always see things in football from women’s perspective. fool, go and suck your mother
Hey Selfmade i second you to what ever you have said, i think it will be even better for his name gay to be changed to lesbian, because i think he don’t have the right frame of mind like a man, he always see things in football from women’s perspective. fool, go and suck your mother
If i have an opportunity of meeting mahama,the first ques i ll asked him ll be this….. why did u said that u are the first post independence leader of ghana? Why?? I think mahama knows why he said that having had the opportunity of being the vice president of ghana…there is much to it than meet the eye because africa had not developed to the standard required because of pre independence born fools like this gaye guy!! This people find it hard to embraced change(highly conservative) and mahama havjng worked with a no of these people migjt have noticed some awful behaviours of these people!! There are a lot of highly vibrant and exuberant african youth from soweto to king solomon islands who are highly passionate,eloquent,articulate and can dissect the modern game to it zenith but such old militant like this stupid son of a bitch gay guy who highly watch european football and cannot even see properly because of old age will never ever give the youth the chance!! Supersport has to know that football is a game for the youth and old men parading themselves as so called african football experts should be relegated to the background and ll only be needed when we want some dates involving some african teams around the 50s or 60s!!! These supersport so called experts are archaic,colonial, biased,emotional and does offer any meaningful analysis of the modern game because they doesnt even have enough time to watch modern european football and i can confidently say that, they are still living in their colonial football era thats why this stupid gaye guy predicted that ivory coast ll beat zambia by six or seven goals during the last afcon but never happened!!! If this is not disgraced to.supersport,then i wonder if they even care about their corporate image!! This can only happened in africa(?), where one eye is a king among blind people!!! I definitely know that supersport is owned and run by white people and i can confidently say that this gaye guy is their puppet to show how stupid africans are to the rest of the world and i ll take an interlligent ghanaian like me to see thru the lines!!! If supersport was in any western country, this guy will have being fired long time but in africa,it wouldnt because is another way showing african stupidity thru this ivorian fooool! !! I hope a clever person will alert him on this!!!!! Viva the revolutioncioollllllllooo! !!!!!!!!!
Considering the fragile relationship and high tension between ghana and ivory coast now,is it reasonable for this guy to inflame unnecessary passions like that? What is his motives? Is it football motives or pure xenophobic hatred? Has he ever think about the dire consequences of his actions not only against ghana but other african countries and even players? We living in africa where anytime can triger a big volcanic inferno and we are all living witnesses to wars being started in some african countries by such ridiculous utterances like what he is doing in supersport studios!!! Ghana and ivory coast already has history concerning football violence( kotoko and asec mimosa) and now there is rebel thing as well as the oil shit, so he needs to be mindful of his utterances because though he is old,i think he lacks pure common sense and the songs of solomon said that grey hair doesn’t always means wisdom!!! Be interlligent and having common sense are but different… one helps u have a living and one is life itself…. had i know is always the philosophy of gays!!!! Viva the revolutionciooooooooooolllllllll!!!!!
Leave the man alone,its his opinion!!
There goes that useless man again.
Chipolopolo all the. Bring on any team especially Nigeria so that we teach them a lesson too. Ghana and Ivory coast supporter please tell Nigeria what Zambia is all about.
This time, Zambia’s best striker Jacob Mulenga will be at 2013 AFCON. His combination with Mayuka will hammer Ghana and I. Coast with easy. When will be the world cup qualifier non Zambia and Ghana? we want to hammer Ghana at their own backyard by just 2:0. No going the Senegal way rioting please.
Folks who is this gay guy,I have read what he said about ghana once and he is still saying stupid things again,this is real hatred lets pretend like he does not exist.
Lets be sincere, there is an iota of truth in what this guy is saying. GHANA HAS GOOD PLAYERS BUT LOW TEAM CHEMISTRY. If we want to prove this man wrong then AKWASI APPIAH should assemble the team in camp ASAP and let his first eleven play among themselves and play friendlies before this tourney starts in about 2months time. If we builf enough team chemistry the coaching job will even be easier for A.A himself. A word to the wise…
Why are ghanaians not seeing any positives in what this man said but would rather rain causes,it tells a lot about the quality of human resources in terms of reasoning and constructive criticism without malicious and vulgar languages being produced by the new generations of ghanaians.Reason why you haven’t won Afcon for 31yrs and are still waiting.You like being boastful and underrating other teams which has always been ur bane.If we are to rate teams in terms of quality of players,clubs the play for and individual performances in their respective clubsides I think ivory coast,nigeria,mali are way ahead of ghana but football isn’t won with just that.Please you guys should see some positives in what mamadu said and build on it eventhough I wish chipolopolo defeats the super eagles in the final to revenge the 94 afcon defeat.
It is amzing how this foolish french idiot who even doesnt understand the english he is speaking can open his stinking mouth with a rotten teeth can open his sily beek to say nonsense abt our BS.The same lunatic who call himself analyst predicted a first round exit for Gh becos we are in a grp with his mali and in the end Gh prove that he know nothing abt football by playing in the third position.
It will be a repeat of the ’74 final…DRC CONGO VS ZAMBIE!!
This idiot is always jealous of Ghanaians, i don’t blame his he is from ivory coast and he is an ivorian,and ivorian in french means blind person and think all invorians are blind and talk the same, they always think their the best in africa but they are all idiots and primitive, if you go to their country all of them talk premitively they talk as if God did not give them scence they are local people.
I want this blind ivorian bustard should know that they it they want to compare their self to other countries they should compare them selt to MALI BUKINA NIGER i meam all this those poor countries invorians have been jealousing for long tym, no mater what they will say we still pass them for football history, they can’t even near us at all. so they should go to hell,
How’s Mr. Gaye feeling about this prediction now that Ghana has won the group by humiliating Niger and sending them home?
u will forever be a jerk………….onye gbmei waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
what are u going to say about d humiliation ur team surfered at d hands of the chickens.
Now that Cote d’Ivoire has been booted out of AFCON 2013 at Quarter Final stage, by a Nigeria without so much of big names in football, what is Mamadou Gaye going to say. In addition, Ghana is in the Semi Finals, a feat that his country Cote d’Ivoire has failed to achieve despite their lofty ranking in Africa and the world. Mamadou Gaye is licking his wounds and humbled like a whipped dog with its tail in between its legs. You should learn lessons from your usually wrong, emotionally-filled predictions which you take for analysis. Your have disgraced yourself and confirmed to the world that you are not a soccer fan but a charlatan and empty tin making the most noise. Hope Super Sport will never ever bring your back to that panel of analysts. Sunday Oliseh, Sammy Kufour, Ruud Gullit and others give us sober, insightful and technically sound analysis, not your thrash you nincompoop!!!! Saves you well, this ejection of Cote d’Ivoire and bravo to Nigeria and Ghana. Zambian!
It will do Mr. Gaye a lot of good if he apologises for embarrassing himself and country. Good analysts always eschew sentimentalism in the field of work. It looks like Mr Gaye is the unrepentant type. If that is the case, then God help him. let me give him an advice in my own French: “le whyee de kwasie netia pa duo.” Meaning; “the testicles of a fool is not stepped on twice.”
I am Zambian and I love Ghana and the Ghanaian people and since we are out (Zambia) my money is on Ghana as has always been the case at world cups and African cups where Zambia has not been. I am glad Ivory cost were booted out. Go Ghana Go. mweemba.mwiinde@zambia.co.zm
GEEEEZ i hate this fuck face!
