Ghana is on the verge of being eliminated son in the World Cup group G, in order to avoid elimination they need to beat Germany, perhaps the strongest team so far in the tournament, this Saturday June 21st, at 3 PM ET at the Estádio Castelão, in Fortaleza.
Ghana lost against team USA as favorites, and now their backs are against the wall.
“We expect that playing at this level you know you cannot make these errors and it worried us. Football is like that. At this stage when you lose concentration or focus for even a second, you can be punished and it will cost the whole team”, said Ghana Coach, Kwesi Appiah-
Germany smashed Portugal 4-0 in the first game, and their team work looked as sharp or better as any of the other 31 teams in the tournament. To me they the stronger team in the World Cup, considering how talented they are at midfield.
“Even after winning the first match we have to be very careful and pay a lot of attention now because we saw what happened in 2008 and 2010. We won the first game and then went and lost the second. We have just seen it here Italy won their first game and then lost against Costa Rica and the Netherlands almost lost to Australia. Maybe it is psychological after the first win. One victory is not enough so our objective is to maintain focus and pay attention,” said Germany coach Joachim Low.
Germany is the favorite in the money line, listed -275 and Ghana is +1000 to pull the upset.
