Some people would argue that England should have played Ghana in the quarter final of the World Cup, but they were pipped at the post by the U.S who went on to lose to a strong Ghana side.
Ghana really deserved to get to the semi final of the World Cup, but Luis Suarez’s hand stopped the ball crossing the goal-line in the 90th minute. Ghana were given a penalty but the pressure was too great and Gyan missed the penalty which would have taken Ghana through to the semi final.
While England are higher up in the world rankings there is no clear favourite.
Fabio Capello, the England manager, has released six players from the England squad including John Terry who was confirmed as full time captain of England.
Gareth Barry will be captain of England tonight and is the seventh England captain since Fabio Capello took over in 2008.
Even though Jack Wilshere is an Arsenal regular and looks to be breaking into England’s first team I believe he will start against Ghana.
My predicted line-up: (4-3-3) Ben Foster; Glen Johnson, Garry Cahill, Joleon Lescott, Leighton Baines; Jack Wilshere, Gareth Barry, Milner; Ashley Young, Andy Carroll and Matthew Jarvis.
I predict that the score will be 1-1. I think Ghana are a very good side and England are playing a second string team but I think both teams are too good to lose.
