World Cup Favorites #19: Ghana

Wamma! The Black Stars are SHINING again and Mohammed Kudus is the brightest star of them all! This man dribbles through defences like they are traffic cones, and at the 2026 World Cup he wants to do it on the BIGGEST stage! Ghana reached the quarter-finals in 2010 (and would have gone further if not for THAT Suárez handball!), and with Kudus, Thomas Partey, and Iñaki Williams leading the attack, the Black Stars have SERIOUS quality!

Manager: Otto Addo Key Players: Mohammed Kudus, Thomas Partey, Iñaki Williams FIFA Ranking: ~60th


The Squad

  • Mohammed Kudus is a dribbling wizard at West Ham who can beat multiple defenders and score spectacular goals from nothing
  • Thomas Partey brings Arsenal-level midfield control, discipline, and experience to anchor the entire team's play
  • Iñaki Williams' blistering pace and stamina — he once played 200+ consecutive La Liga games — gives Ghana a tireless attack
  • Ghana's 2010 World Cup quarter-final run proved they can compete with and beat the best teams on the planet
  • The Black Stars' combination of European-based talent and West African flair creates a unique and unpredictable playing style

The Verdict

Ghana with Mohammed Kudus is a team that can beat ANYONE on their day. The problem is consistency — the Black Stars can look world-class one game and amateur the next. If Kudus turns on the magic and Partey controls the midfield, Ghana could be the surprise package of the tournament!


Tomorrow: #18 — Stay tuned for the next World Cup favourite!
