I already said it,Asamoah Gyan is a FAILED CAPTAIN, he can never win a trophy for Ghana if he still remains Captain, he is naturally not a born winner

Which trophy did Messi single-handedly win for his country (that is if Messi has ever even won any trophy at all with Argentina)? And Portugal's victory in the European championship did not come as a result of Ronald's single-handed performance - there was absolutely nothing to suggest Ronald did it single-handedly. Mara Dona and maybe PELE I agree.

Players form a football , hockey , etc. team , but not market women . We can say a player has won a trophy to his credit whiles he 's among the team . You should rather go to the mental hosptl.

Folks,these kind of unhealthy criticism is what kills the interest and output of the team. People don't really look deep into things,just the negative aspects. When Ghanaians criticised Djan after missing penalties,the UAE gave him the chance to play and he was scoring because of the trust they reposed in him.Here, in Ghana everyone will insult u and ur family just because u sacrificed to play a penalty for the country.
If u watched carefully,USA goalie is really good,he could touch the ball on all parts easily. Even Djan's freekick,he touched it. Such a goalkeeper is difficult to score.

Scoring in the UAE league? Please come again. Did Gyan play any ball aside the free kick he scored? Please the keeper of USA is not good so stop giving any flimsy excuses. FACT FACTS. SYCOPHANTS.

Made ammends with one of the Best freekicks of his Career. Disappointing penalty however I believe most Ghanaians are too Judgemental. Gyan's a LEGEND regardless.

The Bible talka about pledges and vowls that who ever pledges of vowls should make sure he keeps it. After the World Cup in South Africa, Asamoah Djan made a vowl to his mother after her son received criticisms after failure to convert the penalty after Suarez caught the ball with his hands never to take penalty for the Black Stars again. Asamoah should understand that Biblically if you make a vowl or pleadge you have to keep it so there was no reason why he should elect himself to take the penalty knowing very well that he has vowled never to take one. Words are spirit and once you alter it it is established. The Bible talks about life and death lies in the power of the tongue. So people should be careful of what they say because it comes back to hunt you. That is the reason why when someone curses some one, it have effects on that person if nothing is done about it. So let Asamoah Djan remember he has made a vowl and he should keep it by never anymore offering himself to take a penalty kick.

GHANAIANS, OH! GHANAIANS!!! WHEN ARE WE EVER GOING TO GET IT? This Gyan guy is full o himself and will always have controversies surrounding him, everywhere he goes.......

Why take the penalty, if he himself has said he wouldn't again? From personalized captain's armband.....and paying for tickets?? (Did I hear that right)?.......

Who runs the Black Stars???

Kwesi Appiah, this Gyan guy will send you quickly to retirement..trust me!

All the same, he scored a very fantastic free kick, even though he stole Dwamena's goal against Ethiopia.

GOD BLESS GHANA!

In the AFCON final against Ivory coast about four years ago I critisize Gyan bitterly for failing to take the penalty.We lost to Ivory coast sadly on poor panelties taken by our players.The guy promised to resume the kick and he missed the first one in a non-competitive match and some Ghanaians are as usual calling for his blood even though he made amends and scored from a beautiful free kick.Now am not surprise that after 35 years the Black Stars has not won anything and we continue to fail.This is because some people critisize unnecessary and some are also sore losers and others too do not understand the game.Gyan will not stay forever with the stars but right now there is no one to depend on.So lets cheer him up and build the young and upcoming ones around him.Thats how we build a team.We always critisize Jordan who is suppose to step into his shoe and now some people again raising hands on Dwamena who scored against the Ethiopians for poor performance in the two friendly matches.It seems that we dont have patience and we are always depending on our old glory which is achiac and inapplicable in this modern era.So lets swallow our pride and give our coach all the needed support to build a winsome side.Massa am 30 years now and I dont want to go Heaven without seeing my Black Stars win a trophy.
