FULL TIME + EXTRA TIME + PENALTY SHOOTOUT - Match #58 (QUARTER - FINAL #2) -

URUGUAY - 1 (4)


GHANA - 1 (2)


Heart-breaking, is the best emotion to describe these moments. Not only for a nation but for an entire continent.

Ghana, you will be missed. Thank you for the wonderful memories of some truly outstanding and fantastic football you displayed in WC 2010. Be proud of your showing, sons of Africa.

Wonderful scenes of wild celebrations for the former two-time Champions though. The Uruguayans should be over the moon right now, because they have made into the Semis of a WC after a VERY long time.

Too bad that such an outstanding match had to come to this and had to be decided by the Penalty Shootout. Uruguay was always fancying their chances in it because they are more experienced in Shootouts than Ghana, who sadly found their Penalty Kick skills lacking.

In the end, you are left with one single thought - What if?...What if Gyan had converted that last minute Penalty Kick during Extra Time?

What if...indeed.
