Real test starts with Colombia - Queiroz

Even though Ghana may have reached the FIFA World Cup Round of 32, Carlos Queiroz knows the road to Kansas City is littered with defensive questions that demand urgent answers after Croatia exposed the Black Stars' vulnerability in a 2-1 defeat in the final Group L match at the Philadelphia Stadium last Saturday.It promises to be a far sterner examination, one the Black Stars know cannot be negotiated, given the defensive lapses that proved so costly against Croatia.It was a calculated rotation, but one that inadvertently exposed the defensive cohesion Ghana had built during their opening two matches.
