“If we’re at 100 percent, we can beat anyone - Ghana coach Otto Addo on facing Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea in WC

Published on: 08 April 2022

Ghana coach Otto Addo is confident that if the Black Stars prepare well they can beat any team at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar later this year.

The four-time African champions have been placed in Group H together with Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea of the global showpiece event.

Ghana lost 2-1 to Portugal in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and lost to Uruguay in controversial circumstances in 2010 in South Africa but will be meeting Korea Republic for the first in the World Cup finals.

“If we’re at 100 percent, we can beat anyone,” the former Ghana international winger, who played for the Black Stars at the 2006 World Cup said as quoted by cafonline.com.

"I think it is difficult and I have not really taken a critical look at the group but in football, everything is possible than in cup games because there are big teams in Divisions One and Third Division.

"But it is very interesting because you can win or lose against everything and at the level of the World Cup, everything is capable of causing an upset and so everything is possible.

"From my point of view, I was born in Germany and I would have loved that game but on the other hand, I look at Germany and Spain, it is good that Ghana is not in that group."

The Black Stars will face Portugal in the opening game of the group before playing Korea and Uruguay.
