Tactics
Ghana did not play well. The team did not have enough quality and played as if they were not ready for a tournament.
It seemed to me that, Ghana went into the game playing a 4-4-2 formation with a variation which placed emphases on wing play. The two wing backs seemed to have been told to initiate the attack.
From the goal keeper, the ball went to the full backs who sped it into the attacking third of the opponents. Once there, they had two options – (1) pass the ball to the one of three attacking midfielders or (2) cross it to the forwards.
