"I will wish for Ghana to win the World Cup. But realistically, if you look at this Brazil team, they can win the World Cup. They have a very strong team. I won't be surprised if they win it," Nyantakyi said as quoted by GHANASoccernet.com.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Richarlison netted a first half brace as Brazil cruised to victory against Ghana in their penultimate friendly ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Paris Saint Germain defender Marquinhos opened the scoring after eight minutes to add to Richarlison double as the South Americans defeated Ghana in Le Havre.

The Selacaos got off to a bright start with Richarlison getting the first chance after just four minutes, but the Tottenham forward missed by inches wide.
