World cup greatness awaits Cristiano Ronaldo in Portugal’s final group match of World Cup 2014, against Ghana. They have to win – that is the minimum requirement. And they have to win by showering goals, and hope that Germany beats the USA. They have a deficit of four goals at the moment. They need to win against Ghana by at least five goals. In the normal circumstances, it is near impossible. But with Lionel Messi performing the miracle of a last-minute goal against the sturdy Iranian defence, CR7 will be itching to perform his own kind of miracle.

Portugal-Ghana Preview

Ghana too needs a win, even though even a win does not guarantee anything. Like Portugal, they too need a German win over the USA. If that happens, a win by a two goal margin will be enough for the African champions.

Ghana will fancy their chances against the off-colour Portuguese. Portugal played abysmally against Germany and got walloped. They were better, but still well below the expectations, against the USA. Only a last-minute goal kept their hopes alive.

On the other hand, Ghana produced a spirited performance against Germany. They almost matched the German midfield for speed and efficiency.

Players

Ghana will miss Sulley Muntari, who is suspended for this match. But André Ayew and Asamoah Gyan are good enough to get the job done for Ghana.

Only one man in the Portuguese camp is capable of producing the miracle the team needs. Their fans will hope that Ronaldo does something Eusébio did in the 1962 world cup – that is slamming four goals in a single match.
