Feature
Ghana breezed through qualifying on the back of a forward line bursting with talent, but a recent string of defeats has tempered the optimism. Under Carlos Queiroz they've become a genuine danger from set pieces, yet the lack of top-tier defenders and an inexperienced goalkeeping unit leaves the back door ajar. The question is simple: can all that attacking flair outscore the worries behind it?
Ghana have squeezed through as one of the best third-placed sides. Not the comfortable route — but a place in the last 32 is a place in the last 32, and the knockouts don't care how you got there.
