The "Black Stars" again destroy the "Yankees"

For four years, the Americans waited for revenge against Ghana for the defeat after extra time in the round of XNUMX of the World Cup in South Africa.

The hour has come for the "Yankees" - tonight at midnight in Natal, Jurgen Klinsmann's team will face the "Black Stars" and try to avenge their defeat in Rustenburg, when Asamoah Djan scored the winning goal in the 3rd minute of overtime.

The famous German, however, drops the ball expertly, knowing that his team does not need the extra pressure.

"It is important that we get at least a point for Ghana," said Klinsmann.

The Americans have never entered the second stage if they lost the first match, but it is clear that they need a win, because the favorites Germany and Portugal are also in the group. But it won't be easy for them, because Ghana defeated tonight's rival in Germany in 2006 with the same result as in South Africa (2:1).

Experienced goalkeeper, Tim Howard, believes that the "Yankees" can win.

"This team is special. I think we can deal with them, they have a strong team, but I think we are good enough to beat them. Everyone thinks we want to celebrate our two defeats against them in the World Cup, but it is not like that. We are playing a match as if it's the knockout stage, we're entering with 100 percent chance," Everton's goalkeeper emphasized.

The "Black Stars" will certainly not play like they did against our national team in a friendly match in Podgorica. Now they have a bigger motive, of course, and many think that they are the team that could come out of the shadows.

In the last championship, they reached the quarter-finals, when Uruguay kicked them out on penalties, and Asamoa Djan turned from hero to tragic, because he did not realize the penalty in the last minute of overtime.

"We will be nervous, because it is the first match at the World Cup, but we have a lot of motivation. I expect a very difficult duel, the Americans will try to take revenge on us for defeats in previous competitions," emphasized defender Jonathan Mensah.
