Pressing on, he additionally expressed his disappointment in himself for the cries of over 30 million Ghanaians who earlier assumed that Ghana’s match against Uruguay was a done deal and the perfect time to seek revenge after what Suarez did in 2010.
In his own words;
“I’m disappointed because we had the opportunity to get to the next stage .The penalty I missed is difficult to take,the game was based on details and we did not get it right”.
Meanwhile, a lot of Ghanaians have slammed him for being selfish by suggesting that he should have allowed Kudus to take the penalty in order for him to be in the golden boot race.
Mohammed Kudus, per Tweeps, was the right man to take the kick and this could have given the Black Stars the early lead that would have put pressure on the Urugyuans.
