Dashed Hopes

Posted by Nsoromma...Child of the Heavens

A game of two halves;

90 minutes and then some.

Then a cheat,

Penalty--

A miss.

DAMN.

The an arbitrary

but necessary competition.

A brave loser

A shocking miss and

The crushed dreams

And dashed hopes

Of a continent.

Uruguay players start celebrating while Asamoah Gyan, of Ghana, shows his devastation at missing a late penalty kick in extra time of the quarter-final at the Soccer City stadium.

(Clearly the football really hurt me, let's not talk about it...)
