Otto Addo\u2019s team lost to Portugal by a score of 3-2, then beat South Korea by the same margin before falling to Uruguay by a score of 2-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assessing Ghana\u2019s performance at the World Cup in a recent interview on Joy Sports, Boateng said the team performed better than the likes of Qatar, Denmark and Costa Rica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you look at it, we performed well as a team, well enough in every game. If you look at the game against Portugal, the team was compact, very solid, everybody gave his all and we all know if the penalty wasn\u2019t given, things could have been different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe game against South Korea was outstanding. The players showed so much character in that game, leading two nil and conceding two goals to then find the courage and still come back to win the game gave us such a good confidence boost,\u201d he argued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added:&nbsp;\u201cIf you looked at it overall we were the lowest-ranked team going to the World Cup but we did better than Denmark, Serbia, Iran, Coast Rica Saudi Arabia, and Qatar the host. So if you look at it we performed well enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the last game against Uruguay, it could have been a lot better for us had only luck gone our way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SOURCE:&nbsp;<strong>www.Ghbase.com<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion \/ advertisement?
