World Cup 2022: Ghana aim for revenge against Uruguay for 2010 exit

The first African team to reach the World Cup semi-Finals was the width of a bar.

Asamoah Gyan missed a penalty in the last minute of extra time after Luis Suarez was sent off for pushing the ball away.

It meant that the game ended in a 2-2 draw and that the game went to a shoot out.

On Friday, the two teams meet again. It is a chance to get back at someone. It led to more questions for the man.

The outcome of this match will determine the fate of Group H, with a victory for the Africans sending them through and a loss for the South Americans keeping them out.

The match 12 years ago was one of the most controversial in World Cup history and the programme produced by the World Service looks at how it will affect their meeting in the World Cup.

The only thing people were thinking about when they saw the draw was revenge. Gyan said that the country wanted revenge.

All over the world, people are aware of what happened. I'm human and it's in the back of my mind.

The most important game for the country is against the other side of the ocean. Everybody goes for revenge, revenge, revenge in the back of their minds.

We want to get to the next stage of the competition. It is going to be a mistake if we think of the countries of South America. The most important thing is that we must qualify.

'I don't know how that penalty went high'

In the 2010 World Cup, Gyan scored three goals in South Africa and in the last minute of extra time, the Black Stars were on the attack as they were tied at 2-2.

Gyan's penalty bounced off the bar after he was sent off for blocking Dominic Adiyiah's headed ball with his hand. The player wildly celebrated the miss.

The match went to a penalty shoot out and Gyan scored the first of his two penalties, but the game ended in a 4-2 loss to the Dutch.

Gyan said that he scored a penalty in the first game against Serbia and a penalty in the second game against Australia.

In the extra time against America, I scored a goal. I was the most confident player in the world when we had a penalty against us.

I needed to take a shot. My penalties are not that high, so it was one of these days.

I wasn't sure how that penalty went high. I believe it was a technical mistake.

I wanted to prove a point when we went to the penalty shoot out. You have to come back and prove yourself after scoring.

Ghana fans unable to forgive Suarez

Twelve years later, he is in the World Cup squad, but he is still hated in the country.

Juliet said that she hadn't met a football fan in the country who was willing to forgive the player.

A lot of people think that the Black Stars would have gone to the World Cup and won it if they'd beaten the Italians.

"If anything happened to him like an injury, he gets a yellow card, he gets sent off, and then people were happy." No one would like to hear his name.
