Criticism should always make you a better person but that only happens when you listen to those critics, correct what's the truth, without allowing it have any negative impact on you and move on. I bet apart from presidents Rawlings and John Mahama, you've been criticized more than any living Ghanaian today. You're indeed a thick skinned person.

Are u better now than when you foolishly & hurriedly broke our hearts in South Africa? I don't think so. Your performance since then is downward while financially the trend is upward. You have dipped far below what you were. This has been the result of an interplay of several factors: The untimely passing away of your mum, the penalties (taking a six month self imposed exile), the loss of your dear friend Castro & the surrounding controversy, the Kwabla issue, the Brazil debacle which exposed your lack of any leadership qualities. There might be others that have not come into the open. THESE ARE THE REASONS FOR THE DIP IN YOUR PERFORMANCE. The people surrounding you should be addressing some of these issues & providing the necessary psychological support (professionally) rather than always singing your praises. They are hurting you slowly & at the same time milking you like a bug. Be wise & differentiate good friends from sycophants.

YOU HAVE SAID IT ALL. GYAN BROKE THE HEARTS OF GHANAIANS AND AFRICANS BY MISSING THE PENALTY AT THE WORLD CUP BECAUSE OF HIS SELFISHNESS. HE WANTED TO BE THE ALL-TIME AFRICAN GOAL SCORER IN THE WORLD CUP HENCE HIS RUSH TO TAKE THE PENALTY IN SOUTH AFRICA. HE IS NOW RICH BUT THE DAMAGE THAT GUY HAD DONE TO GHANAIANS AND AFRICANS CANNOT BE ERASED IN HISTORY. WITHOUT GYAN, GHANA WOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST AFRICAN COUNTRY TO WIN THE WORLD CUP

Gyan is loved by many fans across the globe. Off the soccer field, he is friendly, humble, kind, honest, brave not a coward, and a man who believe in the Almighty. The love for him is so huge, it is "Tsunami" that can wipe you away from the surface of the earth.

Telling the truth does not imply hatred. Why can't we for once be objective. Gyan has done a lot for Ghana but he has also done a lot of harm to the nation. His selfishness & always seeking attention to himself: the World Cup penalty, taking the captaincy whole senior players were there ( AA using that to bring him back after missing our penalties), He is too self centred. Sadly because of his riches, people are scared to point it out to him. His professed friends are doing s lot of harm to him.

In 2008 Gyan did not miss any penalty. He missed glaring chances together with his brother Baffour. That was when they threatened never to play for Ghana again.it was in 2010 world cup and again in the 2012 CAN that he missed the penalties. As for the penalty he missed at the world cup, it was a disappointment to the entire African continent. We all saw Stephen Appiah pick up the ball but a Samoa quickly collected it. He did not compose himself because he feared Appiah may change his mind and insist on taking g the kick. But I agree that those criticisms have made him a better player.

Is he better today? No. He is worse than then . Old age is creeping in. He is no longer Baby Jet. He has no wings to fly. Wet feathers

The same critics are now calling you to take penalties. If you really now believe in your critics, then rescind your decision and begin taking penalties for Ghana then.
