Dortmund, Germany (My Sportsbook) - Ghana will continue its World Cup run on Tuesday, but it will face its toughest task yet when it meets Brazil in a second-round match at Dortmund.

Ghana finished in second place of Group E to advance to the knockout stage for the first time ever. If Ghana can upset Brazil, it will become only the third African team ever to reach the quarterfinals of this prestigious tournament.

As for Brazil, it is hoping to take the next step to a record sixth World Cup title. It won all three of its Group F matches to finish on top of the table. So far in the 2006 World Cup, Brazil has outscored its opponents, 7-1.

"Ghana will be no easy win for us," said Brazil's Gilberto Silva. "We will not look ahead of them. This is going to be a very, very tough game this is what we need to focus on right now. We need to work very, very hard to move ahead step by step. This is the only way."

Ronaldo leads Brazil in the tournament with two goals, while Ghana is still in search of its first multi-goal scorer.

If Ghana hopes to advance, it must control its fouls. It has been whistled for 76 fouls already.

These two countries have meet once before on the pitch. In an international friendly back in 1996, Brazil cruised by Ghana, 8-2.

Brazil coach Carlos Alberto Parreira has roots in Ghana. His first coaching job was with the team back in 1967.

The winner of this match will take on the victor in the Spain/France game.
