The striker, who is gunning to switch allegiance to play for Ghana, is optimistic this is the Black Stars� year to upset the World Cup favourites with their fine form.
Ghanaian-born Burkinabe international Nii Adamah Plange believes that the Black Stars are capable of becoming the first African country to win the World Cup.
The 24-year-old Vitoria Guimaraes forward, who has recently declared his intention to switch his international allegiance to play for Ghana, feels that the four-time African champions can match giants such as Spain, Brazil, and Germany.
�Ghana have a good team. The likes of [Asamoah] Gyan, Kevin [Prince Boateng], [Kwadwo] Asamoah have been in tremendous form this season, and given their squad, they deserve to be among the favourites to win the tournament,� Plange told Goal Ghana.
�Along with Spain, Brazil, Germany though, Ghana are a team on another level from most others. The talent is most definitely there.
�However, this time they also have to prove that in the games that really matter like semi-finals or finals - if they can make it that far - that they also have that little bit of luck that makes you a winner.
�I think the team can do that as they have outstanding players. I�m just as excited to see how the other contenders perform, but Ghana certainly deserve to be counted among the favourites,� Plange added.
Ghana have been paired in the same group with US, Germany and Portugal.
