about

The cruellest moment in the history of the Black Stars football team. Asamoah Gyan's penalty miss in the last kick of extra time in the quarter finals of the world cup, ending in bitter defeat at the 'hands' of Luis Suarez and Uruguay.

lyrics

(bum-bum-bum-bum-Black Stars!)

The hope of the nation rests on your shoulders.
What are you going to do Asamoah?

The hope, the dreams.
People coming in the street, when you score a goal you can hear them scream.
Watcha gonna do Asamoah?

Come on Black Stars!

(Ahhh, he's hit the bar!)
