Coach Milovan Rajevac is confident Ghana can deal with the pressure of attempting to become the first African side to reach the World Cup semi-finals.
Ghana take on Uruguay in Johannesburg on Saturday after overcoming the United States in their last-16 match.
Rajevac said: "We are not thinking about the pressure. We played very well at the African Nations so we have already proved that we are a team that knows how to compete. We will try to relax. You know it is good for us to be here. We are very happy with the whole situation."
