Title Christian Atsu made jokes about stashing the cash in bags
About me Team USA early in the World Cup or the nearly improbably tie with the German team or the loss to Portugal that sent Team USA through to the quarterfinals. No, folks were talking about cash. Lots of cash. So much cash that the Ghanian soccer team, popularly called the Black Stars, filled a charter plane with it. The amount? $3 million. And yes, not in checks or other form of payment. Cash. Why? That’s how the players wanted to be paid for participating in the World Cup. More than $3 million in appearance fees was to be split among the 23 players on the team. The money represented an advance for the team’s bonuses earned for playing in the Cup. And by advance, I mean that the team wanted to be paid upfront which is totally normal understandable. To prove its point, the team threatened to boycott their all important game against Portugal unless the cash showed up first. That would have been embarrassing. Ghanian President, John Dramani Mahama, apparently felt it was less embarrassing to pay the players in cash delivered by chartered jet. So that’s what he did, calling it “necessary.” That meant that Ghanian soccer players got paid as the world watched. It was such a public display that defender John Boye was photographed kissing a stack of money after it arrived by armed escort while phenom Christian Atsu made jokes about stashing the cash in bags. Since the money arrived, the team did finally acquiesce and play against Portugal where, it can’t be ignored, they lost, 2-1. One of the goals attributed to Portugal was an own goal scored by Boye who apparently kissed the cash hello but his chance at a world title goodbye. Ghana vs Iraq (Photo credit: eser.karadag) Ghana Coach Coach James Kwesi Appiah says this is how the Ghanian soccer team does business, “The practice in Ghana has always been, you pay the money to the players in cash, and that has always been the way all these years.” He went on to say, “Some safefifa16coins of the players don’t even have an account in Ghana. The system in Africa is totally different from Europe. I am not saying that it is the best way. But you are coming from a different areas and you need to understand the differences.” To make it feel less weird, President Mahama trotted out the ol’ “this isn’t the first time” card, saying that the team did the same thing in 2006 and in 2010. Apparently, players on the team haven’t had time in the past eight years or so to approach the Bank of Ghana or one the dozens of other banks in Ghana about opening an account (it must be those darn ATM fees).
