The excitement surrounding Ghana’s arrival in the US has given way to growing anticipation ahead of the Black Stars’ opening FIFA World Cup match against Panama in Canada.
While Thomas Partey’s absence from the opening fixture has generated discussion among supporters, many remain optimistic about Ghana’s chances. Fans acknowledge the midfielder’s importance to the squad but insist that the success of the Black Stars cannot depend on one player alone.
