LOVE MONEY OR LOVE YOUR COUNTRY, a debatable question. Asamoah Gyan has received the most bashing on social networking sites in the wake of Ghanaâs 1-0 Nations Cup loss to Zambia. The Black Stars haven thoroughly dominated the first semi final fixture on Wednesday in Bata were undone by a 78th minute strike by Emmanuel Mayuka to end Ghanaâs dreams of winning a fifth African title after 30-years. The script could have however been much different had star striker Asamoah Gyan converted a 10th minute penalty. Gyanâs miss adds to woeful catalogue of penalty misses in high profile matches of the Black Stars in recent times â with his miss against Uruguay at the 2010 World Cup readily coming to mind. And several fans have registered their displeasure in Ghanaâs loss with Asamoah Gyan the most blamed. Below are some sample comments posted on several social network platforms in the aftermath of Ghanaâs loss to Zambia: WHO ORDERED A HALF FIT GYAN WHO COMPLAINED ABOUT BEING HEAVY TO TAKE THE PENALTY? THE COACH, HIS ASSISTANT AND THE ENTIRE FA SHOULD BE SACKED â Laka. GYAN should leave the blackstars alone .He is a good player yes but all Ghanaians are saying good bye and good wishes to de continuation of ur carrier else where in arab countries - Ozingobey He (Gyan) better go back to sunderland if not he should forget black star,his move totaly affect his peformance we all know how Gyan strike..from today going he should not take any our spot kick again this show clear that he is not perfect in taking sport kick..so far he play 7 spot kick he miss 4 and score 3 damnâ¦masa gyai bo.. â Onevim. Even an amputee can score that penalty kick which gyan missed. They should just stop giving excuses. Is he the only one to take penalty? He already let many ghanaians and the whole of the African continent down when he missed a clear goal-scoring penalty. And he has repeated it againadding sore to injury. He has brought the world cup disappointment into our memories afresh again. â Aberico We (ghanaians) re now fedup with gyan i think the best option now is 2 allow him 2 join castro n stop wasting our time â Error. Do u noe heâs (Gyan) been paid wit tax payers money. He must play to expectation. â Afua Serwaa.
