The world Cup has always been the stage for the big names to flex muscles and show what they are made up of.
So it was supposed to be an arena for Sulley Muntari to justify the reason why he helped Inter Milan to that historic treble or Stephen Appiah to show the world the kind of experience he has acquired in the past years.
Well that has not proven to be so in this year's world cup. Cristiano Ronaldo is still struggling to impress after a poor showing in their group opener. Only Lionel Messi has so far done something little to prove his worth.
For Ghana, Sulley Muntari has been allowed a place on the bench while Stephen Appiah has done very little to convince Milovan Rajevac of a starting role.
Meaning there are always ways for new talents to emerge. One of such is Andre Ayew- the song of Ghana's soccer legend.
Andre Ayew put in a sterling show again for the Black Stars as they came from a goal down to nick a one-all draw with the socceroos of Australia.
The Arles man gained selection ahead of Inter Milan's Sulley Muntari in the first game and played impressively to maintain his place in the Ghana starting line up for the game against Australia.
Just as many thought Kwadwo Asamoah was going to be Ghana's man for the tournament, Andre favourately referred to as 'Dede' just burst into the limelight and has become the main man for Ghana.
His pace, skill, resilience, relentlessness, tackle and teamwork has delighted the technical team and Ghanaians. He has become the toast for the travelling fans and Ghanaians back home.
For Ghana, the progress of the team to the next stage of the competition depends very much on Andre Ayew and his ability to torment the Germans on Wednesday.
