Ghana midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng says Germany will struggle at the 2014 World Cup.
The midfield hard man predicts that one of the Germany and Ghana will fail to reach the knock-out stages in Brazil.
“It’s a strong group and I think that Germany and Ghana will commit mistakes. Those mistakes will be punished,” Boateng in an interview with ESPN FC at Schalke’s Veltins Arena.
“When Cristiano Ronaldo is fit, it will be very difficult to beat Portugal. Germany, Ghana and the U.S. will take the points off each other.
“I don’t think both Boatengs will make it out of the group. In the end we’ll see who that will be.”
Despite many pundits view of seeing Germany top the group, the Schalke man believes they do not have the men to make the difference.
“The German team has world class players in every position, and that is their main problem,” he said. “They have so many good players, and need to win the World Cup or at least make it to the final.
“You need characters when you go into a tournament with so much pressure. I don’t see anyone who could handle this and might be able to carry the team along. The German team has an outstanding quality, they have players who can decide a game, but I think, really, you only need to be wary of Marco Reus.”
