Portugal have some of their players who won the European Championship in 2016 as well as the core of the team that won the UEFA Nations League in 2018-19. Uruguay similarly have Luis Suarez who has been playing with Edinson Cavani since 2014 as well as Diego Godin.
Nonetheless, Andre Ayew, one of the squad\u2019s most experienced players, believes Black Stars are capable of competing with the big teams at the highest level.
\u201cIt\u2019s true that before the game comes we\u2019ll feel the stress, we\u2019ll feel the pressure. It\u2019s World Cup and we\u2019re playing against Portugal. It\u2019s normal. If you don\u2019t feel it then you\u2019re not human. <\/p>\n
