Sometimes, I do think about it \u2013 maybe at the next World Cup, we can do something more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe penalty is forgotten. I just said to myself, there are bigger players than me who have missed that kind of penalty \u2013 Roberto Baggio, [Michel] Platini, Maradona.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will just put that behind me and concentrate on my career because if I keep on thinking about it, it is going to disturb me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If nothing else, Ghana\u2019s performances in South Africa marked them out as a team to be reckoned with, and they are determined to continue that process when they meet England for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Gyan, who has enhanced his own reputation with his performances in the Premier League since making a \u00a313million-plus summer switch to Wearside from Rennes, admits playing at Wembley will be like taking part in the World Cup finals all over again.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cWe did so well at the World Cup. Before, people didn\u2019t know Ghana and we have proved to everyone by what we did at the World Cup that we are capable of doing something big.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what we demonstrated at the World Cup and there will be much respect for us because we did very well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn football, anything can happen, so we will just go there and make sure we play our normal game against England.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe promise we are going to give them a good match and we will see what happens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody is expecting something positive. It is like a World Cup to Ghanaians because they have been looking forward to this game for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe did so well in the World Cup and they would like to see more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we are not playing an easy side, so it\u2019s a challenge to us. We have to demonstrate to them that what we did at the World Cup wasn\u2019t luck, we knew what we were doing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to prove to everyone what we are capable of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gyan would like nothing better than to find the back of the net against England having enjoyed a good deal of banter with his English club-mates.<\/p>\n<p>He said with a smile: \u201cI am not going to predict \u2013 but even if I don\u2019t score and my country wins, I will be okay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- google_ad_section_end --><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- \n\n<div><\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n<div><\/div>\n\n --><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/5d4e3006yan-300x162.jpg-150x150.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Follow this link:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/ghanasoccernet.com\/2011\/03\/striker-gyan-eyes-world-cup-redemption\/\" title=\"Striker Gyan Eyes World Cup Redemption\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Striker Gyan Eyes World Cup Redemption<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Welcome to Ghanasoccernet.com, Ghana&#8217;s most authoritative football news website.
