but asamoah gyan was able to score against germany nd portugal...appreciate what you have man
The likes of Ogoglo, Rasheed, Kutsii, Ghfuo and Moscow remind me of the term Low Intelligence Readers, also known as LIRs or misguided readers. They profess to be the alfa and omega in soccer and in the process, unfortunately ...

WHAT MAKES NYANTAKYI A NORTHERNER AND YOU ARE I GUESS A SOUTHERNER? I SEE YOU ARE NOT A NORTHERNER BUT A MUSLIM WHICH WILL MAKE YOU OF NIGERIA OR OF SOME OTHER NEIGHBORING NATION?!!!
I will attack any GFA official or the sports minister irrespective of his religion and tribe.It is those who grew up in the north that believe in tribalism. Some of us who were born and grew up in Accra, don't believe in tha ...

I can understand your anger and frustration. Some of the contributors on this forum under-rate the prowess of Gyan as a striker. They argue, though incoherently that Asamoah Gyan was snubbed by CAF for the 2014 best footballe ...

Tony did not even write about Asamoah Gyan. He deviated and settled on his personal issues with some of the contributors. He doesn't know any of the facts you just posted. Trust me.
Rasheed, you are a misguided reader. Too aggressive and baseless, unfounded arguments. tone down .
No comments.
Are you not ashamed to write this comment. Wait and see
IF TONY YEBOAH TWICE GOALKING IN THE GERMAN BUNDESLIGA COULDNT WIN WITH QUALITY GOALS WHAT MAKES GYAN THINKS HE CAN WIN WITH A UAE LEAGUE WHERE MOST OF THE LOCAL PLAYERS ARE PART TIME FOOTBALLERS? GET REAL IF YOU DONT KNOW TH ...

Ten goals at Al Ain will be equal to 1.5 goals at EPL. How do you compare these? Stay at Al Aon and enjoy your goal king But sorry, no awards , no trophies.
Man don't be so ignorant, have u forgotten that Asamoah gyan scored 13 goals in the EPL season for Sunderland
Goal Scoring Talent I admire very much. His unique ability to score impossible goals. Against England and USA 2010 are my fondest. Thank God for you!!!!
Yes, by Ghanaian standards, Asamoah Gyan is a striker. Let's not talk about the world when we talk about him as a striker. If the other 'strikers' we are comparing him to are all Ghanaians and include Jordan, Accam, and ... ...

I second your contribution. Gyan is not a world class striker. When he played in England he could not score that many goals; because he played with great players.
He is brilliant by African standard but not world class.
Pathetic Ghanaians. You would be hailing him if he were white. You are your own worst enemies.
Hi Brother,
I don't hail just for hailing sake. I call a spade a spade. I love Gyan both on the field and off the field. I love his music too.
I watched Gyan while he donned Sunderland jersey and Black Stars Jersey. He coul ...

LIKE WISE 2014 WORLD CUP AGAINST GERMANY. GYAN HAS THE ZEAL TO SCORE LIKE WISE OTHER STRICKERS.

It's a FACT...So world cup is shitty too? From NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND WEST AFRICA He's the leading goal scorer at the WC BELIEVE IT OR NOT. #FACTS. Jealous ass motherfuckers.
Sorry to say you love the game but lack insight of it when Messi is not 100%fit he has 55 goals. I believe the rankings was not based on one season's result. Let appreciate every effort we see in our people go away from the R ...

If that should be the case, then the world lack strikers and it is obvious we don't see any attractive football anymore.....I rest my case

Stupid Hayatou and his Cohorts hates Ghanaian players with so much passion...even when Essien was on the top of forms, they still denied him such accolade.
Oh yeah 4th indeed...why because CAF. ..did not mentioned his name for the award winning. ..In Africa so Ghanaian writers decided to give him WORLD BEST. .
Why Ghanaian sports writers always throw dust into our eyes Asamoah Gyan is not the 4th best in the world as soccernet want us to believe he is not in the first 50 list publish by L'equipe a french magazine the only african p ...

WE KNOW CAF IS TAKING THEIR MARCHING ORDERS FROM THEIR BRITISH AND FRENCH MASTERS SO IT IS NOT REALLY UNEXPECTED TO SEE THEM ACTING THIS WAY.WE MUST DO WHAT GYAN IS DOING AND IGNORE THEM.
the first 6 best strikers in the world by french magazine L'equipe are C Ronaldo, L Messi, Neymar, Muller,Suarez,and Ibrahimovic.
Hahahahaaaaa
Awurade,my in
Please stop this Cartoons Stop it. It is ridiculus
it is one of those stories that lack merit.

nice one asamoah gyan, some ghanaians will always critise but none of their family members have reached that far
Hahahahahahahahahaha........like seriously? which striker is Gyan better than, even among the top 5 EPL teams' strikers?
Idiots writer...51 nd 55 which one comes first
..kwasia....do u even have an editor at all
So you mean Gyan is better than Van Persie, Diego Costa, Ibrahimovich, Aguero,Suarez, Drogba ? Tweaaaaaa
RANDOM LIST;
Messi, Ronaldo, Lewandowski, ibrahimovic
Suarez, van persie, Diego Costa, Tervez, aguero, dzeko, rooney, falcao, etc.
So among this few list of strikers, who can gyan compare himself to?
Name me your striker, and I will show you perhaps, his popularity and professional achievements.
Indeed, it's a true saying that "a prophet has no honor amongst his own kinsmen".Still, for me, Gyan has no "tangible character ...

Why He is not African best, Then they roub him.
How could he be Africa's best ? Just hyped. Not even Ghana's best. How good a striker is he? On the nation of the blind, the one eyed "striker " is the best. Miss of Nigeria is far better than your Gyan. Stop deceiving yourse ...

Is Gyan better placed than Diego Costa? Suarez? Mandzukic? Benzema? Fake Fake Fake.
Sorry Gyan will never get any CAF award because he is not Franco phone. Check the records and prove me wrong
Ghanaman like LIE LIE. When Samuel Kuffour of Bayern missed it, was it to someone from the Francophone zone? Check your facts.

You people just sit in Kumasi and beat up journalists because you think that Bra Gyan is the BEST
very good job done. is not easy coming up u deserved it .
No Tropjy, no award, how could u play in an unrecognized/unknown league and win awards?
If Ronaldo plays in the Indian league , he will never win an award as world best because it is not competitive enough. That is why no ZA ...

What has Islam got to do with this? Why can't just say you don't agree to the article by the french magazine.You have the freedom to speak but you have limits and it is only a fool and an illiterate who doesn't know this.
Since you think asamoah gyan is not good enough,it will be better if you go and replace him and stop making such comments.If asamoah gyan was from your family you would be the most proudest person.
Gyan currently is one of the top strikers in the world. Check the IFHHS official rankings. He's been in a rotation with Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar for most goals in the world for club and country. Gyan has more goals than bot ...

This is what u did to Richard Kingston
