ISTANBUL, Turkey -- Ghana has narrowly avoided elimination from the Under-20 World Cup twice, and now the 2009 champions believe they can go all the way and win the title again. Ghana lost its first two group matches but advanced on goal difference last week. The team had to come from 2-1 behind in the closing 10 minutes to defeat Portugal in the first knockout round on Wednesday. "If God is on our side, history keeps on repeating," striker Frank Acheampong told The Associated Press on Friday. "We have to give thanks to God. (Against Portugal) we were down but we were able to come out with flying colours in the game." The only African nation still in the tournament, Ghana plays Chile in the last quarterfinal on Sunday. The winner will face France or Uzbekistan for a place in the final. In the other quarterfinals, its Iraq vs. South Korea and Uruguay vs. Spain. "The beginning of the tournament was difficult but now we are improving with every match," Acheampong said. "So we think, if its the will of God we will win this next game." Coach Sellas Tetteh believed the edgy start could ultimately work in Ghanas favour. "We are the only team among the eight teams that started badly," Tetteh said. "If you see where weve come from and what weve reached, we should be more motivated than the others. " Ghana advanced from what was arguably the toughest group, containing tournament favourite Spain, France and the United States. "We know we have met difficult teams in our group, and Portugal was one of the best," Tetteh said. "So now we believe any other team we meet, we can beat." Ghanas youth team usually performs well at the World Cup. Apart from winning the title four years ago, it finished runner-up in 1993 and 2001. Ghana reached the semifinals in four of its five previous appearances. Tetteh led Ghana to the African and the world title in 2009 but left the following year. After a stint as head coach of Ruanda, Tetteh returned just before the African Under-20 Championship earlier this year. Ghana reached the final, losing to Egypt after a penalty shootout. The winning coach who came back "is a motivation factor for the team," Tetteh said. "The boys are so relieved they have someone whos already done it. So definitely they have confidence in me." In his 21-man squad for Turkey, Tetteh picked just five players from European clubs, including Acheampong (Anderlecht, Belgium) and Yiadom Boakye (Sassuolo, Italy), who scored the late winner against Portugal. The teams standout player so far, Ebenezer Assifuah, is still with Liberty Professionals in Ghana. Assifuah scored three times in qualifying and twice in the decisive group match against the United States. For the national team, Tetteh has always favoured talents who are still playing in the domestic league. "They are more willingly, they are hungrier to play," Tetteh said. "You need a team with determination, and that is what they have. That pushes them ... So its good for the team. And its good for our development as it encourages local players in the country, too." One of the foreigners on the team, Acheampong supports his coachs philosophy to mainly rely on locally based players. "When they get the chance to play in this tournament, they bring out all what they have so the whole world can see them," Acheampong said. Tetteh brought in the five players from abroad to add international experience. "They enhance the local boys," the coach said. "That brings a blending and that keeps us going."

The team announced that Willy will make his second career start about one hour before the game. You can see all the action on TSN and TSN Mobile TV today at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. As for Brandon Isaac, he will make his Hamilton Tiger-Cats debut with a huge chip on his shoulder. The game will be a shot at redemption for the Ticats following a lopsided 37-0 road decision to the Riders on Sunday, but for Isaac its a much-needed chance to take out his frustration at being released Tuesday by the Toronto Argonauts. "I know Im going to be pissed off," Isaac said Friday. "I dont like the situation Im in, however Im learning to deal with it. "I dont want to talk about it because its not going to make the situation any better. Good luck to them . . . it is what it is. A lot of people dont know what it is, I kind of still dont know what it is but at the same time they released me, Im a Ticat, Im happy to be here and I cant wait till (Saturday) to get some of this frustration off my chest." Isaac, 28, helped Toronto win the 100th Grey Cup last November and was named a team captain heading into the 2013 campaign. He had 16 tackles and one sack in four games before being surprisingly cut four days after the Argos 35-19 road win in Winnipeg. Kent Austin, Hamiltons head coach, GM and football operations director, has simple expectations of Isaac. "I expect him to play in certain situations and personnel groupings," Austin said. "We just get back to work and prepare the way we know how to . . . correct our mistakes, which were many, and play a team game with more effort and better preparation." The six-foot-three, 208-pound Isaac hasnt had much time in his new surroundings after signing with Hamilton (1-3) on Wednesday. Fortunately, he has a history with Ticats defensive co-ordinator Orlondo Steinauer, who was Torontos secondary coach last year. "Its basically the same defence Toronto runs but the terminology is a lot different," he said. "Once I learn the terminology, Ive already learned about 80 per cent of the calls . . . . Ill feel just right. "It is weird (wearing Hamilton colours) however the Ticats have given me the opportunity to play football again and Im so grateful and honoured to be here. Im going to continue to show this league Im a good player, Im reliable, responsible for my actions and Im going to do things the right way." Isaac wont be the only one making a debut Saturday. Slotback Dave Stala, 33, entering his 11th CFL season, comes off the nine-game injured list to play after undergoing off-season knee surgery. "The surgery wasnt as bad as I thought and I healed quicker than I thought," Stala said. "Im pretty excited because I mean Saskatchewan is 4-0 now so theyve got the bulls eye on them. "I dont think Im coming back too early. Two weeks ago I still had some swelling in the knee but right now its fine. Im full go and Im going to go out there and make plays." With slotback Andy Fantuz (hamstring) out, Stalaa will be counted on to provide veteran leadership for Hamiltons young receiving corps.dddddddddddd "Its great to have Dave back," said Ticats quarterback Henry Burris. "You build a rapport, that trust and continuity with certain guys and it helps you relax more because you understand those guys have been there." Burris said the Ticats are anxious to face the Riders in the rematch. "Anytime you have a disappointing (performance) like we did its always time for redemption and its that time right now," Burris said. "The wound is still fresh and theyre still on our mind. "But hey, everybody needs a gut check every now and then, it happens every season and for us it happened this past game and it came against a team thats coming back here. Weve had a chance to regroup, go in and watch the film, see the mistakes we made and see the things they did and make sure they dont make those plays again and we dont make our mistakes again." Its unclear which quarterback Hamiltons defence will face. Starter Darian Durant -- who passed for 347 yards and four TDs last week -- is a game-time decision with a foot injury. If Durant cant play, sophomore Drew Willy would make his second career CFL start. But what Isaac and the Ticats know for sure is a key cog in Saskatchewans offence is running back Kory Sheets, the CFL rushing leader with 572 yards who ran for 130 yards last week. Sheets rushing total is the highest ever through four games to start a season. He needs just 75 yards to break the league mark for five games of 646 yards set in 75 by Calgarys Willie Burden. "The key to this team is the running back," Isaac said. "Theyre a team that runs the ball a lot and once you get the running game going then you can do anything. "If you can stop the run, then they become one-dimensional and it plays in our favour. I just think theyre going to try come in and hand the ball off and pound us." Sheets wont feel any extra pressure to perform should Durant not play. "I just have to keep doing what Im doing and trust everybody in front of me," he said. "Theres really no pressure because theres a lot of guys around me that help out." Sheets is on pace to smash Mike Pringles single-season rushing record of 2,065 yards. The Riders back hasnt been shy about saying he has that mark in his sights, which doesnt bother Isaac. "Thats just a goal he has," Isaac said. "I have plenty of goals and I know other teams dont want me to reach my goals. "He (Sheets) is a phenomenal back. We just have to go in and be in attack mode, play our responsibility, be gap sound. Hes going to find a hole so everyone has to be disciplined in their gap responsibility and we have to hit him. Football is a very physical sport and when you hit a lot of people and sometimes they fold. Hopefully we can get to him, rattle him a lot and come out with a win." NOTES: C.J. Gable starts at running back for Hamilton while Onrea Jones starts at receiver. Nate Bussey replaces Markeith Knowlton -- who was released Tuesday -- at linebacker, newcomer Emmanuel Davis lines up at cornerback and kicker Luca Congi, benched last week, will face his former team.
