Canada defender Andre Hainault is expecting a robust challenge when the Canucks face Ghana on Tuesday night in a friendly.
The North Americans will be facing the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations losing finalists for the first time in their history.
Both sides will be using the exhibition to fine tune their preparations for next monthââ¬â¢s 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
ââ¬ÅWhat you see normally from Ghana are athletic players, technically good, strong,â⬠the veteran said.
ââ¬ÅWe expect them to be sharp in their tactics and disciplined. We know theyââ¬â¢re going to be physically strong and technically good so weââ¬â¢ll have our work cut out for us.
ââ¬ÅIf we play with the ideas that have been plugged into us this week and the work weââ¬â¢ve completed with Benito over the past few years we can definitely get a result.ââ¬
The match will be played at the RFK Stadium in Washington, DC.
