The current players are playing for each other like magic. They call themselves a special group because they can not compare themselves to other squads of previous years, but they have their own character and vibe that they exhibit on the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The confidence and support enjoyed by Goal keeper Benjamin Abbey Asare is overwhelming and stupendous. He is the most reliable in goal, assuring a clean sheet and magnificent show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"518\" height=\"565\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimatesportsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/asare-w.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ultimatesportsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/asare-w.jpg 518w, https:\/\/ultimatesportsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/asare-w-275x300.jpg 275w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 518px) 100vw, 518px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The newly discovered resolute trio in defence, namely; Marvin Senaya, Jerome Opoku and Jonas Adjetey are delighting to watch, while Gideon Mensah and Thomas Partey are using their experience to hold opponents, but much must be seen in the midfield of Caleb Yirenkyi, Kwesi Sibo and Brandon Thomas- Asante pushing, Fatau Issahaku, Prince Adu, Inaki Williams, Antoinne Semenyo and Jordan Ayew to get the goals and positive results,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Croatia, most of the players are old and they may say it is experience; however Ghana must push harder in the game to win by at least three goals. So there must be some tactical changes to get fast and strong players who are hungry for goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimatesportsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/414b5046885a6ca2bc4261fc25b099cd.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29542\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their top star, Luka Modric has decorated so many World Cups, reaching the final in Russia in 2018 then the semi-final in Qatar four years later. Zlatko Dalic&#8217;s side will have to recover from a defeat and come opening up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The players to watch are Pandur, D Kotarski, M Pongracic, D Caleta-Car, K Jakic, M Erlic, N Moro, M Kovacic, N Vlasic, T Fruk, L Sucic, A Kramaric, A Budimir, I Matanovic and M Pasalic<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Much has not been seen from Ghana poster boy, Semenyo in the two matches played, but he has contributed and won the MVP in the first game, and he is hoping to do better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimatesportsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/724552205_1063263332893615_5283860144716446759_n-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29543\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The way and manner Ghanaians overtook the stadium in Toronto and Boston were so marvelous and the same must happen on Saturday. The players need the fans and it is going to be another football fiesta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will be very happy if Ghana scores three or four like England did against Croatia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s go again Ghana, it is possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By Sammy Heywood
