Asamoah Gyan is pictured during the quarter-final match against Uruguay at the 2010 World Cup
in South Africa. Gyan missed a glorious chance to win the game for Ghana when he missed a
penalty in the last minute of extra time but showed his character by scoring in the ensuing
penalty shoot-out. It was, however, the South Americans who prevailed, winning 4-2.
