Football: Gyan vows never to forgive Yattara

Black Stars skipper, Asamoah Gyanhas vowed never to forgive Guinea 'keeper Naby Yattara.
Gyanwas hit in the abdomen by the goalkeeper in the final secondsof their quarter-final clash against Guinea.
Yattara did get sentoff but has had no retrospectivepunishments since.
"I am appealing to CAF to punish that guy because you can't come fromyour club and hurtsomebody in Africa and go scot-free. It doesn't speak well of African football otherwise anybody can just come toAfrica to hurtsomeoneand go back just like that," Gyansaid.
"It was a very dangerous and wicked tackle which could have ended my career, clearly the guy came here just to hurtme and he must not be allowed togo free because that should not bepart offootball," he went on.
"I cannotforgive him."
Coach Avram Grant has also weighed in on the urgefor stiff punishment.
"What happened with this goalkeeper and what he did to Asamoah Gyan is an opportunity for everybody at CAF to show how they protecttheir players," Avram Grant said.
The 'keeper, who featuresfor Arles in France's Ligue 2 has already said he will not apologize for the tackle.
