    Well said. Gyan loves Ghana and some people forget that to err is human.

  • Kwabena Gyamfi 10 years ago

    Asamoah Gyan no doubt has established himself as Ghana's most prolific goal scorer with 34 goals to his name. It will take a while for anyone to overhaul this. I pray that he would do all he can to help the team qualify for t ...

    Asamoah Gyan always answers the call for National duty and performs superbly. Unfortunately, when he misses a call, we curse him and his family. What a bunch of ungrateful people we are.

    Yes, it is the story you have heard ...

    Appiah kept them positive at half time AND he made timely substitutions. As a result a game that started horribly ended up as a great comback. Appiah read the game well and the players came through.

  • Nana-Bee 10 years ago

    Historically, Kwasi Owusu of Bofoakwa holds the top scorer record for Ghana in all the Black Stars international matches. Gyan is the closest second to the Bofoakwa great,but will surpass Owusu pretty soon, given his age.

    Do you know how many international goals Kwasi Owusu scored?

    Unlike the Gas and the Trokosi big mouths, the Brongs are the best in Ghana football; Kwasi Owusu and Asamoah Gyan are shinning examples.
