Ghana have announced their intention to knock Australia out of the World Cup, claiming the Socceroos squad is "weak" and that Ghana will "dominate them".
Looking extremely fragile after their shock 4-0 loss to Germany, the Socceroos have to defeat both Ghana and Serbia if they are to advance to the Round of 16.
Ghana can seal their place in the next round with a victory over Australia on Sunday morning. They would then fight out top spot with Germany in the final Group D match.
Speaking for the Black Stars, midfielder Ibrahim Ayew heaped pressure on the Socceroos, suggesting, "Australia must know we are going to attack and attack them."
"We know they have some weak sides and we will take advantage. We are young and we are really going to use our pace.
"Everything is focused now on the Australian game. It is the most important thing in the world. When we win against them we will be in the next round."
Ghana defender Hans Sarpei alluded to his team's success over Serbia as a sign of future success. "We will do to them just what we did to the Serbians - we won't let them play at all," Sarpei said.
Australian Coach Pim Verbeek was heavily criticised by the Australian media for his player selections and formation choice in the game against Germany.
Verbeek must now decide whether to stick with his veteran players and give up a significant speed advantage to Ghana, or field a younger and quicker team with less experience.
