RUSTENBURG – Frozen pitches at Ghana’s World Cup training base north of Rustenburg caused their practice session yesterday to be delayed for two hours.
The west Africans were scheduled to start a private training session at nine in the morning but were told that the pitches at the Mogwase Stadium would be unfit for use. Temperatures in Rustenburg, where Ghana meet Australia on Saturday in a Group D encounter, have fluctuated dramatically in the last week. A week ago, in sunny conditions, they reached 25 degrees Celsius, but this week have fallen overnight to minus five as winter has taken a grip on the North-West province. – Nampa-Reuters
