 Ghana was drawn in Group G for the finals, where they faced Germany, Portugal, and the United States.The World Cup finals ended up in disappointment as Ghana exited in the group stages with issues of poor planning and payment bonuses being blamed for the poor performance, although they did manage a 2–2 draw with Germany, who ended up winning the competition.They would be the only team to not lose to Germany in that tournament
