Captain Asamoah Gyan has admitted Ghana chances of qualifying for the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals is as good as over after Friday's 1-1 home draw with Congo in Group E.
The Kayserispor striker says he and teammates had a bad day at the office as they toiled to draw 1-1 at home with Congo
The Black Stars came from behind to split the points after Thievy Bifouma had given the Red Devils the lead on 19 minutes.
Ghana kept on pressuring the visitors and snatched the equalizer in the 86th minute through
With two points from three matches and five behind leaders Uganda, Gyan acknowledges it will take more than a miracle to reach Russia next year.
''It's difficult, honestly it's very difficult. Things didn't go well as expected and we didn't play the way we expected to play like tacticall, mentally. I didn't know what went wrong but I will say the desire wasn't there today,'' Gyan said in a post-match interview.
''It's one of those days that things happen-Nobody is to be blamed here but it's one of those days that something to get on the field and the desire-I don't know what went wrong but I think it's one of those days.''
Ghana will play Congo in Kinshasha on Tuesday in the return leg clash.

How do you expect Ghana to qualify when your captain armband has created a whole lot of confusion among you and some players in the team? you have high jack the captain ship to the extend that even when you are substitute instead of giving the captain band to your deputy you go and sit with it.
Why are you all surprised, Ghana football has been dying gradually and now it is dead completely. The local league is a joke and all the GFA cares about is corruption and chopping money. God will punish Akwasi Nyantakyi for killing the talents of so many would-have been great talents in Ghana for his greed. When Harrison Afful is injured, we couldnt even call one in-form local player to replace him because our league is below standard yet the congolese paraded local players to beat Ghana. Shame on you all at the GFA.
Black Stars is outdated, outclassed and outplayed by the Congolese side. Their coach has no clue about the dynamics of the game. The Congolese were a better prepared side. They were battle ready. The Stars were not battle ready. They looked feeble, selfish and moribund. The Stars technical bench lacked ideas, tactics, ball sense and strategy. The over reliance of these so called foreign based players who think national assignment is an outdooring of celebrity must be something of the past. These guys don't want to play to get hurt or something or are they showing off on the field and lost focus? They don't appear to have any purpose on the field. The Stars coach often looks on helpless and clueless. l have always said from the beginning that coach AA is not a tactician neither is he a good coach. He must be replaced. The current crop of players must be forgotten. Try the local players. l bet you a line up of players from Hearts of Oak, Kotoko and Aduana Stars would have buried the Congolese and send them into absolute submission. These foreign based players are not ready. They are making Ghana looks like a cricket nation instead of football nation. Enough of this ***barred word***. Enough is enough. Disband the Stars now!
These players are to blame...they are so complacent and indifferent..they not patriotic at all,all they care about is money.foolisssh mammals
Yes Ns3mfoo I support you.The entire Black Star team is " TRASH "
Foolishness and ***barred word*** at its peak ! Asamoah Gyan , you are an ***barred word*** to say that OK. Who do you think you are anyway ? No wonder some Ghanaians would rather support eleven (11) chickens with jerseys on , than the Black Stars. So tell me why the Ghanaian government should waste all these monies on you people . Its like fetching water into a basket.
Massa; Ghanaians have had a enough with these petty petty kangaroo excuses from the Black Stars ; the fact and evidence is that they are NO GOOD ;very arrogant ; selfish and lazy and refuse to go the extra mile to honour Ghana ; WHEN was the last time these leeches and maggots won somthing for Ghana -NOTHING !!!!; they always want to make the numbers ; their mind set about football comptitiuveness is very poor ; they think they are the only players with reputation as good players on the continent ; all they know is collect their bonuses and share it with theier wives and girlfrineds ; what they forget as a team is that orther counteries are monitoring carefully before they play them ; the congolese are no ***barred word*** they came with a startegy to draw and win at home and what was the strategy of Ghana ;it was over confidence and arrogance thinking it was a 'KOKO' match because somethem think theyplay abroad and they are good ; the Black Statrs shiould the attitude of the German think ; 'YOU DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE ANY TEAM IN ANY MATCH ; YOU PLAY FOR THE HONOUR OF GERMANY AND NOT FOR YOUR SELF'; the opposite is the Black stars they play for themselves and await their cash and fly out the next day in their private jets and laugh at Ghanians : the same with AVARAM Grant who came and milked Ghanaians never stayed in Ghana but rather laughed at us abroad ; WHAT A JOKE !!!!!!:GHANAIANS SHOULD FORGET ABOUT THE BLACKSTARS AND LICK THEIR WOUNDS AND ASAMAOAH AND THESE GREEDY MAGGOTS !!!!!; WE DO NOT PLAY FOR GHANA WE PLAY FOR OURSELVES ; IF GHANAIANS THEY CAN GO BURN THE SEA -PERIOD !!!!!!
we need devoted black star team , players to player; ANTSU, AFOU, APARTHY, FRANK ACHEAMPONG, JOHN BOYE, SULLY MUNTARY, PRINCE BOATENG, WAKASO, TO BEGIN MATCH. THE TWO BROTHERS AYEW IMMEDIATE SACKING GYAN SACKED ALL THE NEW OTHER PLAYERS THAT PLAY WITH CONGO SOULD BE SACKED AUTOMATICALLY.
I will never support black star when akwasi appiah is a coach
