Ghana vs Uruguay: I wish Asamoah Gyan was playing today – Lydia Forson

12 years ago, Luis Suarez's deliberate handball knocked Ghana out of the 2010 World Cup stopping Ghana from making history and today the two countries prepare to reunite at the Al Janoub Stadium.

In what was one of the most controversial moments in World Cup history, Suarez denied Ghana a late winner in the World Cup quarter-final 12 years ago by deliberately handling Dominic Adiyah's shot on the goal line.

Uruguay went on to beat Ghana on penalties to deny the Black Stars the chance of becoming the first African side to reach the last four of the World Cup.

Former Black Star player Asamoah Gyan has lived with the pain and disappointment from that very day till and only has one agenda on his mind today which is for the Black Stars to redeem his name today by winning this game.
