If you get the morale from the first game with a win, it keeps the team morale high so that they can go on well” “They have to stay together as a team, fight together and I believe they can achieve for themselves and as a nation at large” Ghana has been paired against Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea in Group H. The biggest soccer mundial will be staged in Qatar between November and December with 32 countries set to battle it out for the ultimate.
