The FIFA World Cup Kickaround Thread For 6/21/14: Before Germany- Ghana

Once again, Ghana's poor defense will have to somehow be organized enough when dealing with clever runs from Germany's front 3. How they will do that with Afful replacing a disappointing Opare and the messes at the back with Boye and even Mensah is a pipe dream for coach Akwasi Appiah.

On the other end, can Christian Atsu improve and get at Benedict Howedes, who is just not a natural fullback. Howedes did good enough against Germany, but at times still showed his centerback tendencies whenever Gotze or Ozil didn't track back to help him.

How Boateng tries to disrupt Kross great calm in the midfield, while Ayew and Gyan, whenever he drops back, will try to make Khedira and Lahm nervous. Khedira looked so goo against Portugal, while Lahm had himself a few nervous moments by getting caught on the ball too long by Miguel Veloso.

Lahm will have to make sure to be attentive and persistent on Gyan whenever he drops into the midfield.

(Will be back for Nigeria-Bosnia tactics)
