Acquah, who made his debut for Ghana in an international friendly against Chile on February 2012, is keen on earning a place in the Ghana squad for Brazil later this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cI dream of playing at the world cup and prospect of playing against Ronaldo\u201d the former Ghana U20 player told reporters.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am playing well and doing my part hopefully it could be enough to earn a spot.<\/p>\n
\u201cRonaldo is the world\u2019s best player and his style is quite unique playing against him will be a realization of a dream and hopefully helping Ghana stop him would be special.\u201d<\/p>\n
