Welcome to World Cup replay, Howarth featured match sees Germany take on

:00:32.:00:39.

Ghana, your match commentators Danny Murphy and Guy Mowbray.

:00:40.:00:46.

Germany are unchanged from their 4-0 win over Portugal

:00:47.:00:50.

and that means Mats Hummels has been passed fit from a thigh injury

:00:51.:00:53.

His defensive partner, Per Mertesacker, becomes the 13th player

:00:54.:00:57.

Thomas Muller begins his second half-century of games.

:00:58.:01:00.

He's scored 20 goals, eight in the World Cup,

:01:01.:01:02.

The referee and his assistants are from Brazil.

:01:03.:01:27.

He was the first ref to award a World Cup goal after the use

:01:28.:01:31.

He also sent off Palacios in that match.

:01:32.:01:38.

Changes were expected to the Ghana team.

:01:39.:01:40.

In goal, Fatau Dauda's physicality has earnt him a starting place.

:01:41.:01:45.

Harrison Afful takes over at right back

:01:46.:01:54.

and there's a place for Kevin-Prince Boateng, all set to go head-to-head

:01:55.:01:58.

Just as familiar to the Germany players as his own team-mates.

:01:59.:02:28.

Jerome Boateng is one of six Bayern Munich players

:02:29.:02:31.

Kevin-Prince Boateng of Ghana, plays in the Bundesliga with Schalke.

:02:32.:02:36.

Germany's start to the World Cup gave no reason

:02:37.:02:49.

Ghana's could certainly have been happier.

:02:50.:02:56.

Germany in all white, Ghana in the red.

:02:57.:02:59.

Nothing to be decided for sure in this group today.

:03:00.:03:22.

Ghana defeated would certainly see them eliminated.

:03:23.:03:24.

The other game in the group sees the USA play Portugal tomorrow.

:03:25.:03:26.

Danny Murphy is alongside me to enjoy what we are about to witness.

:03:27.:03:30.

Danny, the Germans are hot favourites.

:03:31.:03:31.

Interesting to see how Ghana set up, whether they're going to try to

:03:32.:03:38.

press the ball early, win it back early or pace themselves

:03:39.:03:41.

I would suggest the latter with the conditions.

:03:42.:03:46.

Really pleased to see Kevin-Prince Boateng play

:03:47.:03:48.

He certainly has the capabilities of opening up the German defence.

:03:49.:03:54.

Hummels got the other goal against Portugal to complement

:03:55.:04:10.

Ghana having already done better from the start than against

:04:11.:04:35.

Interesting that they changed the goalkeeper.

:04:36.:04:48.

Obviously he sees something in this keeper he thinks might be

:04:49.:04:57.

relevant to play against the Germans, I think that's

:04:58.:05:00.

a strange decision unless there is an injury we don't know about.

:05:01.:05:19.

Muntari I think that was with the delivery, he struggled with set-play

:05:20.:06:12.

I think it was Robbie Savage who commented on it and he was right,

:06:13.:06:17.

You are not going too get too many chances and that was poor again.

:06:18.:06:49.

Not unexpected the game is being played at a slow pace early on.

:06:50.:06:54.

The Ghana back four got to be careful not to be too high

:06:55.:07:12.
