Black Stars midfielder Kwasi Sibo has stressed that they are looking to finish as the Group L champions in the ongoing 2026 World Cup.
His remarks come after the team held England to a 0-0 draw against England in their second group game on Tuesday at the Boston Stadium.
The results leave both sides with four points after two games.
Speaking after the game, the 26-year-old, who earned praise for his disciplined performance, said the squad followed Queiroz’s instructions to the letter.
“He told us to be compact. He told us to fight for each other. And he told us that, at this moment, he knows that we will suffer because we are playing against a great team. But still, we should keep our mentality tough, fight from the first minute to 90 minutes,” Sibo said.
“I think we listened to him and we followed his instructions and we did the job for him.”
Now, with Ghana on the brink of qualification for the Round of 32, Sibo has set his sights on victory against Croatia on Saturday.
“Now, the game against Croatia — I don’t think, I just believe that we’re going to take all three points,” he said. “We want to be leaders in the group, and we are not looking back.”
The midfielder acknowledged the defensive nature of Ghana’s performance against England but insisted the team will show more attacking intent against Croatia.
“Against England, we defended a lot. We had one chance that could have given us three points. So, going against Croatia, it’s all in all, for the nation,” Sibo said.
The Black Stars will face Croatia at Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday, knowing that victory would secure their place in the Round of 32 and send a statement to the rest of the tournament.
