Its barely two hours to the crunch Nations Cup qualifier between the Black Stars of Ghana and Uganda at the once dreaded Baba Yara Sports stadium. But guess what the stadium is empty.
At a cursory look one might think it is Bofoakwa versus Accra Great Olympics playing but no it is the Black Stars. And it's not a friendly match. It is competitive- a Nations Cup qualifier the country cannot afford to lose.
The fans are angry with the Stars for the embarrassing episodes in Brazil and wanted revenge.
Asamoah Gyan, Dede Ayew defended their action but apologised somewhat and begged the supporters to return and support them.
Two days before the game a journalist asks an unintelligent question which gets Gyan infuriated. A day before the game Gyan's brother Baffuor, takes the law into his own hands and beats the journalist.
The National Sports Authority in their own confusion, announces a free gate policy only to reverse the decision few hours later.
The end result is this. A near empty stadium with just an hour and half to go.
