Ghana's FIFA World Cup squad looks built for a very Carlos Queiroz tournament -- less improvisation, more compression; less romance, more survival.

That's not to say there isn't talent here -- Iñaki Williams, Ernest Nuamah, of course, Antoine Semenyo -- but the defining feature of this Black Stars is not artistry.
