Asamoah Gyan reacts to claims of ‘intentional penalty miss’ at 2010 Word Cup

Asamoah Gyan has responded subtly to allegations made by Member of Parliament Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, who claimed that Gyan intentionally missed a crucial penalty during the 2010 World Cup.

Dafeamekpor, representing the National Democratic Congress (NDC), suggested that Gyan’s political affiliations with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) led him to deliberately miss the historic opportunity for Ghana. The penalty, had it been successful, would have propelled Ghana to become the first African country to reach the World Cup semi-finals.

Veteran journalist Sannie Daara condemned the Dafeamekpor claims, emphasizing Gyan’s unwavering commitment to Ghana throughout his career. Daara highlighted Gyan’s role in Ghanaian football history and dismissed the idea that the player would intentionally jeopardize such a crucial moment.

In a witty response to the accusations, Asamoah Gyan wrote, “Maybe he wants an autograph. Don’t worry. I will sign one for him soon.”

This reaction comes amidst controversy surrounding Gyan’s recent appointment as the chair of the sub-committee for Youth and Sports for the NPP’s campaign manifesto.

The penalty miss in question occurred during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and Ghana eventually lost on penalties. Dafeamekpor alleged that Gyan did not want the then NDC government to receive praise for Ghana’s potential victory.

Gyan has expressed his willingness to contribute to the revival of sports in Ghana through his role with the NPP, leveraging his extensive experience in the field.

The legendary striker who retired from professional football in June 2023, remains the all-time top scorer for the Black Stars with 51 appearances in 109 matches. Additionally, he still holds the record as Africa’s top scorer at the World Cup with six goals.
