Yes.  In this, the Ghanians represent ALL soccer players from the 
Third World, even such "glorious players" as the Arg and Brazilian 
ones.  Many of them, when their useful life is coming to an end, 
finihs their carreers in the most awkward corners of the globe.

For a handful of dollars.

This is what the Int'l Federation of Assoc. Football, that gang of 
slaveowners and slavetraders, support.  And this is why Maradona 
("negro, argentino y peronista") became such a nuisance for them, and 
denied his presence at the opening ceremony of the Cup.

"Sharing podium with Blatter, Pelé and Beckembauer?  Never", was his 
explanation.  He considers Pelé (and IMHO he is right on this) an 
Uncle Tom.  Don't know what did Beckembauer do, but on these issues I 
trust Diego, the single int'l level football player who attempted to 
unionize his brothers against that maffia which operates from 
Switzerland.
