When Uruguay and Ghana were caged once again, it was a redemption ritual for the Ghana Blackstars after that fatal blow dealt to Ghana in the 2010 FIFA world cup in South Africa.

In that cursed encounter, Suarez stopped Ghanaian striker Adiyah’s header inbound for the inner net with his bare hand.

A penalty awarded to Asamoah Gyan and Blackstars would see Asamoah Gyan hitting the wood work and forever embossing his name on the minds of Ghanaians as the captain who let his team down.

For Suarez’s Uruguay,  this Qatar 2022 encounter was another opportunity to this time round make it unequivocally clear to Ghanaians and the world the strength of the Uruguayan team.

The penalty miss

Somewhere 19 minutes into the game, Ghana was awarded a penalty kick by referee Daniel Siebert after consulting the Video Assistant Referee.

Twelve years ago, Asamoah Gyan was denied a goal by the woodwork. But this time, with Gyan retired and the captain band passed on to Dede Ayew, the onus rested on the captain – the man who had scored Ghana’s first Qatar goal in the opening game against Portugal which the Blackstars lost.

Dede, as expected, stepped forward to add another feather to his hat. Dede struck a feeble shot to the right in the same direction the keeper had thrown himself resulting in a safe.

Daughter blacks out after penalty miss

Per a report by Ghanaian sports writer, Rahman Osman – an editor for London World, the player’s 7-year-old daughter lost consciousness immediately after that penalty miss.

Sika mp3 Dede (Money does not like noise) & Penalty does not like noise

Ghana is one of the many countries where football is linked to politics. 

Days before the world cup, President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo had given a speech in which he infamously stated in three languages – Asante Twi, English and French – that money doesn’t like noise.

His statement was a failed attempt to play down the economic hardship visited on the ordinary Ghanaians as the dollar rises sharply against the Cedi and continues to enjoy relentless gain with every passing hour.

Nana Addo in addressing the nation on the current state of the economy on Sunday,  October 3, stated that the speculations about the local currency was responsible for the cedi’s depreciation.

“Fellow Ghanaians, as the French would say, l’argent n’aime pas le bruit, to wit, money does not like noise, where there is unrest, you will not find money,” said the President.

Penalty mp3 Dede (Penalty does not like noise)

Dede is the name of the Ghanaian captain. In the Ghanaian Akan language, the word ‘Dede’ also means ‘noise’.

After Dede’s penalty miss, Ghanaians have grown accustomed to a hilarious pun that “Penalty mp3 Dede” implying and mocking at the President’s similar statement that “Sika mp3 Dede” which translates into “money does not like noise”.

That is to say, Dede does not like penalty. Thus, Dede cannot score from a penalty.

Dede takes bashing from fanatic Ghanaian supporters

Ghanaian football fans are among the few die-hard fans any footballer would think twice before messing with their heart.

Their love for the game is unparalleled and a small mistake can land you comfortably on the crucible of hard and personal criticism that may leave indelible remark on your reputation, family and friends. If you doubt it, ask Asamoah Gyan.

Uruguay snatches 2 goals from Ghana but follows Ghana home

After Dede’s penalty miss, a now emboldened Uruguayan side thuded the ball into the net twice winning 2-0.

However, South Korea’s win in another group game going on concurrently held Uruguay put. So in the end, the two foes -Ghana and Uruguay- held each other’s hand out of the tournament while Portugal and South Korea sailed through.
