Ghana midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang Badu is counting the cost of exiting the 2012 London Olympic Games qualifiers.

The Udinese enforcer failed to travel to Sudan for the match due to an injury as the Black Meteors crashed out 2-1 on aggregate.

Badu, who converted the final spot-kick to lift the 2009 Fifa Under-20 World Cup finals in Egypt, is disheartened

“I’m so sad things went that way and for the second time we’re not going to be presented at the Olympic Games. It’s heartbreaking and think we must put it behind us and move on,” Badu told Accra-based Citi FM.

“For a great footballing nation like to Ghana not be at such an important sporting event is worrying and very sad.”
