A draw for the tournament's lowest-ranked side could be enough for Ghana to join Portugal in the knockout phase, while a point could make for yet another nail-biter for the West Africans in Friday's simultaneous two-match finale, where all fourPerennial wild cards Uruguay must win in Al Wakrah to go through and will need to fire up their big-name forwards and shake off some dire form that saw them held by South Korea and outclassed by Portugal.
If Ghana play for the draw they will be gambling on already-qualified Portugal beating Korea, a team famous for their fighting spirit, as proven when they came back from two goals down against Ghana on Monday before losing 3-2. Coach Otto Addo said that will not be on his mind and knows his side will need to be at their best to stop Uruguay, who are playing in their 14th World Cup and have reached the last-16 in their last three appearances.
Uruguay have not exited a World Cup at the group stage in 20 years and coach Alonso knows something different and something special will be required against Ghana, who have reached the last-16 in two of their three World Cup appearances.
