Kwesi Appiah, a former Ghana coach believes the Black Stars can beat any of the teams in the 2022 World Cup group but cautioned that the team must prepare adequately for the tournament.

The four-time African champions have been paired with Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea in Group H for the global showpiece that kick off in November.

Appiah, however, acknowledges that adequate preparations and an effective plan will see Ghana qualify out of Group H.

“We should be asking ourselves questions. Can we qualify from this group? If we can, what’s next? This is where it becomes tough. We should psyche ourselves that no matter who we play, we can beat them and will qualify from this group," he said on kumasi based Sompa.

He further added that “the most important thing is to have visuals of our opponents to determine their tactical play. That’s one way of having an advantage over them. It’s unfortunate we didn’t have a good tournament in Cameroon (AFCON 2021), however with the right decisions I’m convinced we will qualify," he said.

Ghana play Portugal in their first game before they face South Korea and Uruguay in their second and third games respectively and Kwesi Appiah thinks that there is enough time for adequate preparations.

“We’ve got some time before the World Cup. This is the time to move the team forward and prepare well. For me, I think all the teams are beatable and we can go through easily but the most important thing is the preparations towards each game”, he concluded.

Ghana are making their fourth World Cup appearance having played in 2006, 2010 and 2014 respectively in Germany, South Africa and Brazil respectively.
