Yes! Gyan has nothing to explain to explain to Ghanaians............

He was quick to tell GHANAIANS publicly that he will NOT take penalties for the national team again.

Why couldn't couldn't he do same if he was resuming to take penalties before the trip to MEXICO and the USA?

Why? Does he own the national team now? If he doesn't steal a goal from Dwamena.....it will be about his head on the NATIONAL TEAM'S captain armband.......and now the issue with penalty taking???????

What kind of a person is this? He is selfish, arrogant, greedy and self-seeking at all levels and some stupid GHANAIANS have bought into it.........because they can align themselves with such attributes.

He comes to tell GHANAIANS that Totti did so at Roma, Zanetti did so at Inter Milan etc.......customized their captain's armbands so, he is also allowed to do so????.......Are those teams the national teams of those individuals???? Why didn't any sensible being ask him that at the press conference????

GHANA is a FAILED STATE and NOTHING!! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! SEEMS TO WORK, WITH A BIT OF COMMON SENSE!!!!

GOD BLESS GHANA!
AFRICAN FOREVER!

When are we going to reason for one minute that Gyan is ALSO HUMAN BEING like us full of bullshit!!!

It is time to stop treating Gyan like "Obiri Pajampram" I am soooooooo tired of those perfects human beings among us over here. We should leave the man alone to exhibit his God given talent.

Human beings have several qualities and attributes that define them....within a framework of the society they serve.

So, when it comes to selfishness and greed not all humans have them and if they do, it does not make it human to deprive those you represent the joy and benefits they deserve from your talents.

I hope you get it!!!! That is why there laws, rules and regulations in whatever team or association we find ourselves in. And if you get out of line.......YOU SHOULD BE PUNISHED.....and not to be overlooked.

How do you think the people we spend our whole lives APING their lifestyles got to where they are? They do not tolerate such NONSENSE in their 'human' societies hence, their increasing development for the better!

GOD BLESS GHANA!
AFRICAN FOREVER!

Non-Aligned, I think you made your argument as if Gyan was selfish. But I don't see it that way, why? You did mentioned of "selfishness and greed" but can you tell which player in the national team who is playing ONLY for the nation but not his glory as well? Every player wanted to give their 100+!% for the team. Every player wanted to keep their position in the team and eager to do more for the nation and their glory as well. So why should we prosecute, judge and punish any bold individual who was EAGER to score more goals for the nation and his image. Gyan's duty is to score goals in the team, so if something goes wrong in the precess, why should we blame him, for what?

Whatever you may term it, whether it was selfishness, greed, his personal interest you name it. His main MOTIVE was to score for Ghana Black Star team and Ghanaians. Why certain individual's could asked for certain jersey number, was that the interest of the nation, which kind of laws, rules and regulations permits that?

Gyan's duty in the team was/is PURPOSELY to score goals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So during that precess and something goes wrong, we should kindly exercise patient and understand it.
Even as at now, there is NO even carbon copy striker of him in the team.

If he scores and win us a match, we celebrate together and if he messed up, we should also mourn together instead of hyping the blame on him alone.

Boss Aden, what is destined by God to be, would by all mean WILL BE! Gyan has been trained not to save the ball like keeper, not to defend, not to play any important role like other players but to make sure the ball passed the goal post line. So if the moment comes and his instinct ignite him that he can prey on that chance and acted, what was wrong about that?

Well I have seen at Youtube that, even lion were not !00% on their preys. So why Gyan, was he around when Ivory Coast squeezed our hands on penalties for Afcon Trophy?

We have to stop trying to dictate to Gyan on what to do on the field.

Take heed.

Hmmm the same people them say "Hadeduuyaa, the same people dem feel say kruusify herrrm again"

My own people are very COMPLEX people to deal with. Are we snakes in the cage always expecting feed, feed and feed. If accidentally your hand slips into the cage they bits you.

I am not talking as if I don't feels the agony when Gyan missed a penalty kick, but hey, "What if" those whose stepped forward had also missed it? Then we would come back and said Gyan should have taken it instead.

Haaa I daff for the f33s time, we should learn how to swallow pains in good faith because NOBODY have, has, had the antidote for had I known!

It is always better for any team to encourage its best kickers to take penalties thereby preparing a team for crucial penalty kicks. In Ghana i have noticed that some of our best kickers shy away from penalties.Eg Kwadwo Asamoah; which i know is because of the way we have ill treated those who miss without complacency.This will only result in situations where those who step up to take penalty in crucial games are not the best takers. This has happened in black stars before as I recall in a CAF tournament. I strongly believe the best kickers are free kick, corner kick experts and play makers . This not to say others cannot be good. For me personally i think considering the the skill level with which Asamoah Gyan approaches penalty. He is the the best taker in the team when his confidence is on.He should pray and change his pledge to his mother and take more penalties. He has shone brighter than any other player in Ghana's history. He has put us on the map.He is known every where in the world and has made money to back it.Lets be proud of him.People like that don't come around often. These day's in boxing all we have is good memories of Azumah Nelson and ike Quartey.All that hate won't make black stars any better.

I thank you all for your interventions. I would like to make a brief comment. All those who say gyan has done much for ghana, concretely what did he do? Maybe he scored 6 goals at the World Cup. And the Ghana reached the semi fina for thé first time in africa football history?. Indeed at the appropriate time when we needs gyan we never sees him. If he was a great, Ghana should be the first country to reach the semis final for the first time in African football history. We want trophies not goals. Yayatourea won for the Ivory Coast. The joung moukanjo his child won for Cameroon. And the ghana? What did gyan win? Even the little dede won cup for ghana. What gyan did for ghana? Miss greatest opportunity.
