Pantsil: Ghana to maintain winning game plan

The team, which became only the third African nation ever to advance to the quarter final stage of the World Cup, also had no fears about dealing with the attacking qualities the South Americans had shown so far in the tournament, players said.

"I don't think there is anything to change in our game. We are going to stay with our game plan - just relax and play our normal, good football and keep our positions and heads together," Pantsil told Ghana FA website.

"We'll try our best on the injured players and make sure they are ready," Rajevac said.

"We're not worried about Uruguay. When we qualified to play the USA, we weren't worried and we won, so we're going to do the same thing," said 19-year-old defender Jonathan Mensah.

"We are ready to live the ultimate dream," the 20-year-old midfielder told FIFA website (www.fifa.com)

"I told the coach we would win," he said of the game against Uruguay. "I don't think Uruguay will be easy but I think we are capable of winning," he added.
