2014 World Cup: Ghana will not be intimidated by Group of Death – Stephen Appiah
Ghana will not be overawed by playing in the Group
of Death at the 2014 World Cup, says former Black
Stars captain Stephen Appiah.

In Brazil, the four-time African champions are
drawn against Germany, Portugal and USA in Group
G.

Ghana reached the round of 16 on their debut at
the 2006 World Cup in Germany and four years ago
in South Africa, they equalled the best African
performance by getting to the quarter-finals.

Appiah, a offensive midfielder, who captained
Ghana during his five-year stint with the national
team, said his team will not suffer any
inferiority complex against his fancied rivals.

“We play Germany, USA and Portugal in our group,
but we did get this far and we can't underrate or
overrate any team, the game has come of age and
it's any man's game,” Appiah said.

“All teams in our group are strong, but we can't
fear them because our qualification demonstrates
our ability and potential.

“If you have qualified for the World Cup and you
fear your opponents, then you might as well not go
for the competition,” he said.
