Southampton defender Mohammed Salisu has changed his mind after initially agreeing to play for the Black Stars of Ghana in the 2022 FIFA World Cup playoff against perennial rivals Nigeria.
According to Ghanasoccernet.com Salisu has been angered by one of the Ghana Football Association (GFA)’s judicial body’s decision to consider a protest by a club contesting the status of the player which previously affected his club career.
The powerful defender has now been forced to reject the chance of playing for Ghana in the two-legged playoffs.
Salisu had finally decided to play for Ghana after several months of engagement by several Ghana FA officials and the approach of coaches Otto Addo and Chris Hughton.
After he rejected several calls from Ghana, the engagement of the two coaches seemed to have brought about a change of reluctance toward the Black Stars which led to the public declaration by his relative that he will finally play for Ghana.
Ghana will host the Super Eagles in the first leg on March 25 at the Cape Coast Stadium.
The reverse fixture will take place four days later at the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja.

Lol….e don start. Confusion everywhere for their camp of the enemy. They want to do like naija but never knew even (though they now know) that we are miles ahead of them in everything. Who in his right senses would want to play for a country and team where juju, wickedness, hate, jealousy are the order of the day?? . I cant fathom the attraction. So, my dear sali, better steer clear else them go deal with u with their juju, hate and wickedness.
The most juju nation on earth is zoogeria lol
Ritualist nation haha
It’s on YouTube the Juju Andrew Ayew did that is haunting Black Stars. No wonder since you were given birth you have not won Afcon yet Nigeria has won it thrice in this Past 30years. Ghana made go and hide inside your stinky face.
See this ritualist bastard! Lol
With his stupid name lol
U dumb like a pair of socks! Lol
Get out of here
That what the Lazy Ghanaians use as excuse to remain poor so I won’t blame you.
If you call Nigeria a zoo what is your father and mother ? Your father is lazy man who’s a weaker person while your mother is a prostitute who always sleep with the animal in the zoo for 1ghc while you’re from a mixed race of human sperm and animal sperm. Stupid weak country call Ghana always fighting their superior and always crying for help from the Nigerian for everything shameless nation

Oakfield great to hear from you bro
@Cute, good to hear from u too…. One love
Ghana isn’t prepared for these fixtures even the coach is yet to name his squad and the game is weeks to come. And about Salisu I don’t think he is worth all this, he doesn’t have daul nationality so he just dislike the idea of playing for Ghana
Selfmade or Ghanamade that came here ranting is a very big example of cowardice, a country that reasonable people has deserted the idiot is here making noise. Shameless idiot the frustration no be here!
The guy trouble is too much apart from partey he should mention any Ghanaian doing good at the moment, even their sulemani hasn’t sparked during and after the afcon so only partey and the guy dey scream, at least Nigerians are now doing okay expect from those at Watford and our other keepers expect form okoye the rest are doing considerably okay
Dennis is doing well in Watford.

Read this article and educate ur ignorant self
Read this article and educate ur ignorant self lol
I know u don’t have 24/7 electricity and hence can’t read enough to broaden ur horizons so l ll help u here haha
This is an article written by SEGUN so read it
As a result of the harsh economic conditions in Ghana in the late 1960s and early 1970s hundreds of Ghanaian footballers flooded the Nigerian league. The best of them were in every big club in the country from Mighty Jets of Jos, to Stationary Stores of Lagos, to Shooting Stars of Ibadan and even up to Sharks Football Club of Port Harcourt. It was very easy to distinguish them at that time because of the flair and flamboyance they brought to the game. Most of them were showmen. Unlike the typical Nigerian football player that played only with speed and power, the Ghanaians played the short passing game, with plenty of exhibitionism, and a certain air that verged on ‘arrogance‘. Their influence was greatest in clubs like Stationary Stores and Shooting Stars at the time, both of which had a large number of these Ghanaian players in their squads. Their football became markedly entertaining, stylish and attractive to watch. Within a few years this impacted very much on Nigerian football generally. The mix of the Ghanaian style of football with the indigenous Nigerian style evolved into a new generation of players with power, speed, individual skills and style. That‘s why and how Nigerian football caught up with and even overtook Ghanaian football – as a result of the fusion of these two different football characteristics. Ghana‘s football resembled that of Brazil, whilst Nigerian football was grounded in the typical kick-and-rush style of the English.
Ghanaian players in
the Green Eagles
Many Ghanaian players became so integrated into the Nigerian environment that many of them ended up playing for Nigeria without the authorities being able to (or chose to disregard) separate their nationalities. That‘s how Willie Andrews, Yakubu Mambo, Baba #$% Mohammed, Johnny Orlando, Phillip Boamah, Raymond Quakopone, Sani Mohammed, Leotis Boateng, Mohammed Lawal, Adokwa Laryea, and so on came to play in Nigeria and for the national team, the Green Eagles. There were many others in clubs across the length and breadth of Nigeria, playing and raising the standard of the domestic game: Joe Appiah, Edward Ansah, Joseph Carr, Arthur Moses, John Benson, Husseini Alabi (a Nigerian, but born and raised in Ghana), and so on.
Back to Annas Ahmed
Annas Ahmed was one of that army of imports. He came with a flair that was very uncharacteristic of a defender. He played football like one dancing, very elegant and graceful on the ball, and a beauty to watch. He floated his passes with such exquisite delicacy that the ball would ‘hang‘ in the air as if begging for a head to connect. That‘s where some of us, good with our heads, thrived! I scored many a memorable goal with those floating passes, particularly at training sessions.
Annas was one of the two pillars of the Raccah Rovers defence in their most glorious years. The other was Ahmed Abubakar, who has relocated to the US and now lives in New York.
In Kano to see Annas
So when Shefiu Mohammed told me last week that Annas was in Kano, I was so excited and curious I could not wait to see him. We had a remarkable reunion, just the three of us, over lunch in my hotel reminiscing over past times. Annas has a remarkable memory. He remembered every single detail of our times in camp recalling them with glee and amusement. His passion for the game (the stylish one) still remained as he lamented the lack of focus on that aspect in the development of the present players. Annas has not changed much except for the forest of grey hair on his head. He still walks with a shuffle as if there is a spring in his feet. So, how has he been doing all these years? He simply retired into the cocoon of his own narrow interest – wood work and design. He has been working for a Lebanese-Nigerian in Kano, assisting with the wood work and beautification of his hotel. He has not been involved in any aspect of football (not even watching) for a long while. He often tells his children stories about himself and some of us when he sees us on television. Otherwise, he has been away from football.
Life may not be a bed of roses for him but he is doing okay. He would love to still do something in the game like teaching young kids some skills and techniques.
So, I am thinking. Where in the football firmament in Nigeria would an Annas Ahmed fit into? I think I have the answer and I have told him so. He is excited. I guess the next few months will tell if I am right or wrong. But which way, any way, it was truly a delight to meet up with one of the great Ghanaian players that helped in the development of Nigerian football to the levels that we have attained today.
As for his kingship, he has passed that on to his son who has relocated to Ghana and is now being groomed to assume the position. His son, after his studies, will ascend the throne of his forefathers!
@PunchNigeria
GLASS EYE STRIKER haha
He can’t afford his mother a house but he can afford u as his mama HOUSE BOY haha
An inflated Ghana is better than THE LIGHTLESS, bokom haram enclave u call a country haha
Are we talking football or something else?. It’s shows your level of maturity.
Ghana made you know what I’m talking about. When it comes to class Naija is more superior that is why you’re Pained. I can’t imagine Davido’s mother driving Toyota talkless of Kia. Yet you guys always quick to raise shoulders with your seniors. You know I gat you here!!!
Ghana people are fund of comparing themselves to our beloved Nigerians
I remembered my time in Ghana when some Ghana boys assembled and were arguing that Kidi is better than Wizkid not even before I open my mouth to interfere 2 little boys were singing wizkid song with Beyoncé Brown skin girl
KWAISA, at least they can’t gather unlikely ur filthy, lightless and dirty country where the kids can’t gathered because BOKOM and kidnappers ll either bomb them or kidnap them lol
U classless, filthy ZOOGERIAN ANIMAL Loll
No one should take the confusion in the Ghana camp for weakness oh……just so you know, these people could have another thing coming; you can see how they’re withholding the release of their final squad list until 4 days to kick-off, well, you might say this Salisu’s issue might be one of the reasons for doing so, but then, let the other team not go to sleep over this! Cos this is football, and ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN if you’re not careful.
Let’s not just conclude we would steamroll over these seemingly “dim” Black Stars! The game of football can be indeed funny sometimes.
Super Eagles; DO THE NEEDFUL
U smart unlike these generator infused idiots here lol!!
The smart ones always are humble
The rest of the idiots here has an iq comparable to a cage baboon hahha
They ll see the MIGHTY GHANA that’ll turn out in cape coast
What I actually know during my time in Ghana is that the Ghanaian hate Nigerians a lot to the extent that they police will fly the fence of Nigerians to go inside the house and arrest innocent foreigners because the Neibough were jealous I think this is an opportunity to let them know that we’re better than them in every aspect of life
Let the super eagles win them in their domot and disgrace the black star people later in Abuja
I want the attacking combination of Osimhen,Iheanacho,Simon to score 4 in cape coast and let Etebo,Ndidi,And Aribo to be key in keeping the ball possesion
And let our 2 central Leon Balogun and Ekong production a white central defense performance no staining let Zaidu sanusi and Ola Aina play from wing back
This match is 4-0 first leg at Ghana home
Write it down
With or without him, Nigeria will trash Ghana!
Bet ur life savings on this let see!! Bet let see if u have HAIRY balls and we ll believe u haha
U know u won’t because ur ashy, hairy balls DINGLING between ur thighs knows better lol
I said you were funny….Damn bro dingling balls is way too funny
Bet ur life savings on this let see!! Bet let see if u have HAIRY balls and we ll believe u haha
Please my brothers and anyone here that can get to the coaching staff of Super Eagles of Nigerian should pls tell them to be very careful of the Ghanaians they are so cunny.at this moment they will be exploring the weakness of the super Eagles that is why they refused to make there invite’s public till now
These idiots here didn’t even know that, when Ghana beat Nigeria in 1992 afcon, abedi pele name was missing from the list till we met on the field !! The Nigerian squad was shocked to see him knowing he was among
Ghana taught Nigeria how to play football and hence we have all the tricks to beat u always in a DERBY haha
Just we ll shut ur way one, tactless team in Kumasi
Trick that can not win you an AFCON Trophy for more than 30 years now and still counting.
There’s a difference between a tournament and qualifier lol
I have already said it, most it these Nigerian bloggers here have an IQ COMPARABLE TO A PRISON DOOR KNOB lol
They can’t reason beyond their hairy noses haha
That’s why am here to pump some GHANAIAN SENSE AND SMARTNESS into ur brains that has been destroyed by the generator fumes u have been inhaling in ur one NAIJA FAILED COUNTRY hahah
Tricks don’t worked in a tournament but it surely does in a two leg qualifiers heheh
Grow some BRAIN CELLS dude
Imagine trick don’t work in a tournament,but it surely does in a two leg tournament. That kind of a trick is useless. No wonder Ghanaian football is dead.
That was 1992 bro. This time around, you’ll be the one to eat what you’re cooking.
That’s what I told that useless boy called self-made that ghanians are turning down the chance to play for them,he was busy talking about 2006 ,living in the past
Ur mother is uslesss and not me! Lol
Just as I told u early, ur brains has not developed enough to know what’s FAKE NEWS lol
Grow some brain cells because ur brains are over simplified haha
Ur white mother is withing in pains now goat
Ghana does not need footballers born in white man’s land. We use our African born players.
We are not like Nigeria that 90% of their players are borrowed from other countries. Thy are not even Nigerian citizens. I can name them for you:
1) Your captain is a white man ( I mean the defender that plays for Watford)
2) You have two other defenders that look like white men (one of them played from the right side of defence in the last Nations cup)
3) Even your basket goal keeper is also half white man
4) Alex (the former Arsenal man) is a British citizen
5) Even Aina (I think he is also a defender), though he is black and have African name, is also from Europe
Etc etc
And I know that one other player has just agreed to play for Nigeria though they are foreign Nationals.
It is because you people are borrowing your players from outside Africa that is why you are complaining about the grass in our stadium. You can take the game to England if you like. The Black Stars can shine anywhere.
The Black Stars are the true representation of African blood.
Be comforting yourself. Truth be told you guys are going to lose this match up
No they don’t have Nigerian blood in them…..They have alien blood from saturn….Abeg ignore this monkey eating retard like their posts don’t exist..
Just because the black stars have failed in their recruitment drive doesn’t mean you should take it out on us..The NFF is doing a great job in convincing them to play…We almost had Abraham and Saka
Your federation the GFA isn’t doing enough..they are incompetent… gone are the days where your local talents were enough
Even though they’re half Nigerians,They are still Nigerians
You should vent all your anger towards the GFA for failing at their scouting and recruitment
What of Kevin Prince Boateng?
Djiku, Wollacott your goalie, Schlupp, are they Ghana-born players?
You conveniently forgot about these ones?
So it’s ok for Ghana to use their foreign-born players, but you cry foul when Nigeria does the same thing?
Confusion is a bad thing!
Hahahahahahaha!
This Ghana team was lucky to have missed playing the new generation of super eagles
Let them tell our coach
Not to go there and look for a draw
I always like our former coach the white man
But nonetheless there’s no hidden place for this worst Ghana team of all time
If Super eagles win Ghana 2-0 in cape coast I consider that as failure
Ghana is one of the worst national team in west Africa now
I can’t remember any big name player in Ghana now except Partey
The two Ayew are O2 big one
Strikers that can not score a goal for a full year
And is still their captain
Yeye nation
Even Black man Afena Gyan Of Roma your only reasonable winger that will play in our u20 is rejecting Ghana because of Juju. So is he also foreign born. Villagers you guys are too low in IQ to further conversation.
Where did this kenkey eating bastards come from?
We came from the filthy, lightless and ritual kidnappers hell hole u called a country haha!!
Am even wondering why u can type on this site knowing ur light ll be taken away very soon haha
KEEP TYPING HERE, NEPAD ll mute u very soon haha
The one animal kingdom known as ZOOGERIA has failed haha
We came from the filthy, lightless and ritual kidnappers hell hole u called a country haha!!
Am even wondering why u can type on this site knowing ur light ll be taken away very soon haha
KEEP TYPING HERE, NEPAD ll mute u very soon haha
Last I remembered this is a Nigerian soccer forum…Why are u here??? Lol. This fool is already preparing for their loss hence he decided to resort to bs here….My guy nobody has your time. Nigerians are always on the move.
Because they don’t have a Soccer forum as good as this one.
Who need a soccer forum when these criminals has created one haha
Am sure this web server is been powered by a stolen generator haha
There are not a lot of Nigerians on this forum because they have no LIGHT to stroll the web because of NEPAD and hence Ghanaians has taken the advantage to make this website lively haha
How can Nigerians come to this forum when they don’t have any light haha!!
Thank God that SMART GHANAIAN like the KING is here to cause this Z RATED forum some traffic hehehe
Ur sad face like SUSPENSION LETTER heheh
You use your African Players? So what of Djiku, Schullp, Kofi-Kyerreh, even KP Boateng and Appiah?. You don’t need players from Europe,yet you’re trying to convince Hudson Odoi and Nketiah to play for you. Most Successful team in Africa use players that are raised in Europe. E.g Senegal has: Koulibaly,Diallo, Bourna Sarr, Nampaly Mendy, Benjamin Mendy, Papi Gueye, etc. AS well as Ivory Coast who has:Haller, Pepe ,Zaha, Conet,Gbamin, Akpa Akpro,etc. Even teams like Algeria has Mahrez, Ounas , benramah,Bennacer etc. Even Cameroon too does have foreign raised players in their team; and these teams are doing well in Africa. Maybe Ghana need good foreign raised players to start doing well. maybe those guys are scared of playing for Ghana because Ghanaian football is dead already,or because of Juju. Charlie, you’re just pointless. Chop you L and sit down let reasonable people talk.
Ignore this lunatic typing from a psych unit in Accra….The bastard has not had kenkey today lol…The dude basically lives on this sports page now. Useless pig. Your eyes go open when caf moves the first leg to a neutral venue due to the dirty nonsense pitch you guys were about to parade….
African Countries are busy building world-class Stadia. They’re damaging the below average ones they have, in the name of Independence day anniversary parade SMH.
We all know that zoogeria is a failed nation!!
