Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari is relishing the chance of getting his first start of the tournament against Uruguay and has vowed his commitment to the national cause.
The Inter Milan ace is keen on leaving a recent spat behind him to steer the Black Stars to reach the semi finals of the World Cup for the first time in the history of African football.
Ghana face the South Americans in the quarter-finals at Soccer City on Friday and Muntari is set to be handed a starting berth by coach Milovan Rajevac.
The suspension of Andre Ayew means Muntari could be handed his first start at the World Cup and the influential player says he will give off his best.
"I always give 100% to the team. It is going to depend on the coach who plays but I am always ready to give my all," said Muntari.
The ex-Portsmouth player has been surrounded by a storm since the beginning of the tournament and was on the brink of being sent home after a dressing room row with the Serbian-born mentor after the game with Australia.
However, Muntari says him and the Black Stars coach have sorted out their differences and willing to learn lessons from that incident.
"On a personal level I want to leave all the negative stuff behind me.
"I had a discussion (with Rajevac). I think I was maybe a little silly.
"Everything is good now, everything is cool.
"It is a happy moment for us that we are in a World Cup quarter-final but all of us have our feet on the ground.
"We always show dedication and commitment."
