The Black Stars defeated Panama in their opening match, forced England to a draw in their second match and lost 2-1 to Croatia in their final game.

Predictions for Ghana vs Colombia
As seen in a video shared on Instagram, Nimbus Pronos made an early prediction for the 2026 World Cup Round of 32 match between Colombia and Ghana.
The cat backed the South American nation to eliminate the Black Stars and progress to the Round of 16 where a match against the winner of Switzerland vs Algeria awaits.
According to The Analyst, Opta’s supercomputer agrees with the prediction, backing Colombia to beat Ghana in 90 minutes with a 64.8% chance of 25,000 pre-game simulations.
Ghana won in 13.8% while a draw in the 90 minutes happened in 21.4% of the simulations, giving Ghana a difficult mountain to climb.
Both sides have never met before, but Colombia have won their last four matches against African opponents, while Ghana have failed to beat any of their South American opponents at the World Cup.
What the managers said
Nestor Lorenzo, Colombia's head coach, praised the quality of Ghanaian players and their style of play, which is aggressive in every phase.

“They (Ghana) are an organised team, but aggressive when they press and aggressive when they attack. They play very well, and their players play for some of the best clubs in Europe,” he told FIFA.
Ghana national team head coach Carlos Queiroz praised both teams and believes that they are committed to entertain as much as they are to winning.
“It will be fantastic to see two great teams on the pitch, with different styles. Both teams are committed to winning the match, creating entertainment and, of course, trying to take the best possible result home,” Queiroz said.
