Libaax-Sankataabte Posted July 2, 2010 Africans are not ready for a football played at such high emotions. I switched the game off after Gyan missed that easy penalty because I always thought Ghana would never go through via penalties. With Gyan's miss, the momentum has already shifted in Uruguay's favor. Slight Confidence and a little "we can do it" is what most players need to take penalty shots. Good play from Uruguay because that header would have went in anyways. The guy was red carded but the hand ball saved his team from a loss in the last dying seconds of the game. Life goes on. Wait for another 4 years.

N.O.R.F Posted July 2, 2010 Well done Ghana. Did us proud. It may have been better if you didn't enjoy yourselves at a Casino until 2am last night but well done anyway. Brazil going out makes the blow easier to take Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted July 2, 2010 Gyan has the balls of a lion and was one of the men of the world cup. Ghana played really well but spot kicks are all about luck (and dodgy goalkeepers). I hope Forlan gets to the final. Don't like this Dutch team at all (except for one man of course). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N.O.R.F Posted July 2, 2010 I knew Gyan and Ghana would have a good world cup but to be on the brink of the semis and lose like that? Great for them still. They have a good line of youngsters coming through. Gyan is a Lion. Boeteng is the player of the WC so far, Ayew was great as well. Better than England.

Jacpher Posted July 2, 2010 Wasn't that ball already inside the goal before he committed the handball? I think Ghana won and there was no need for penalty kick. That referee got it wrong for that, Ghana pays the price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted July 2, 2010 Norf, the preening prince played really well but I still reckon that Gyan was the heart and soul of that team. I mean to play up front on your own for five games and still keep running and chasing lost causes in extra time is impressive. To miss a spot kick in the last minute yet be th first man to step up for the first one again (and score) makes you super human. P.S. I still don't see what people saw in Ayew! He was good but he was also the team's headless chicken. Still, he is young and shows great potential. Heh@Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacpher Posted July 2, 2010 From now on, soccer players should just grab the ball with their hands when the ball is going into the net at the end of the game. You will be booted, but your team will get another chance at penalty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rudy-Diiriye Posted July 3, 2010 Ghana was out coached! Why did the coach sent a 21 yrs unexperienced player to take a penalty kick!! wtf That was really dumb mistake by the coach! This coach needs to be fired!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allamagan Posted July 3, 2010 I wonder why africans always loose on penelty shoot-outs. am very disappointed! each and every uruguay penelty takers beautifully sent the Ghanain gholie to the wrong side whereas the ghanaians actually passed (gave) it to the uruguayan goalkeeper, shidh! Even Gyan narrowley scored the penelty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Libaax-Sankataabte Posted July 3, 2010 ^^ It is all about being emotionally prepared and skillfully trained. You could see Uruguay's side were more confident and focused. Gyan's miss set the mood up for both teams. It was huge. Anytime you have a dramatic last second disappointment for a team, expect the momentum for the other team to have a psychological affect. It is the nature of the game. Ghana missed 3 penalty shots. That is not luck. In the end results are what matters and Ghana as a team didn't bring new results home. Africa is still stuck at "last eight" spot first explored by Cameroon and Roger Milla twenty years ago. Hopefully this team will mature mentally and do great things in the years to come.
