We’ll deal with Ronaldo - Appiah
Black Stars coach, Kwasi Appiah, says the presence of Portuguese captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, will not influence his team’s tactics in their crucial Group G game on Thursday.
He insists the Portuguese talisman will receive no preferential treatment in the game to be played in Brasilia.
Ghana's progress to the next stage of the competition faces a difficult test from Ronaldo and his team but Appiah is confident the world best player will be taken care of.
He said, "Ronaldo is the best player in the world; everyone recognises that. I do no not believe in looking out for individuals. For us, it will be down to team work”.

"It’s important however, that he is not allowed to have his own way. We will keep an eye on him. He can always punish you given the opportunity.
“He will be watched like he expects but there will be no special attention for him.
We will rather check out how the Portugal team is set up and prepare because I do no believe in overly looking out or preparing for individuals," he added.
Ghana badly need a win on tomorrow and hope either Germany or the USA lose to ensure passage to the next stage of the competition.
