New Black Stars forward, Inaki Williams, has revealed his reactions after Asamoah Gyan\u2019s penalty miss against Uruguay.<\/p>\n

Ghana had a brilliant opportunity to play in the semifinal of the Mundial for the first in history after Luis Suarez used his hands to block Dominic Adiyah\u2019s goal-bound header.<\/p>\n

The Black Stars were awarded a spot kick but Asamoah Gyan failed to convert the spot kick in the dying minutes of the game.<\/p>\n

However, after 120 minutes of action, Ghana suffered an elimination after losing 4-2 in penalty shootouts after 1-1 in regulation time.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Spanish paper, Marca, the Athletic Bilbao star, said the miss was painful as he supported the Black Stars during the tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Asamoah Gyan missed the penalty against Uruguay I was very sad because I lived that World Cup a lot, very involved with Ghana,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On the 2022 World Cup to be staged in Qatar, the forward adds that the Black Stars may not be favourites but have a competitive squad to compete.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a very young team, but with a lot of quality. Most of them play in Europe,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can do great things in the World Cup. It\u2019s not an easy group, but there is a very powerful team. We can surprise anyone. We\u2019re not going as favourites and that\u2019s good for us,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Ghana has been housed in Group H alongside Portugal, South Korea, and Uruguay for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.<\/p>\n
