What did you think about the game?
I thought that Ghana weren’t scared of Brazil. I am sorry that Michael Essien didn’t play for Ghana today. When you play a great team like Brazil, you have to capitalise upon the very few […]

Both Ghana and Spain have shown great playing performances and, more, they have shown that a new generation of players is preparing to make their mark in the next 4 years.

The first game of the day pitted the fearsome world champions from Brazil against Ghana, and the newcomers faced an uphill struggle as early as […]

Ratomir DUJKOVIC (GHA)
It was a nervous game because of the importance of the points, especially for them. I’m satisfied with the performance of my guys, but we didn’t play as usual. They created space, they’re […]
