Ghana coach Ratomir Dujkovic said he had respect for Group E opponents Italy, but he was happy his players had the big-game experience to handle them.

The Black Stars have no selection worries for their World Cup debut.

"Most of our players have been five years or more in Europe at a high level. We are not worried about this match," said Dujkovic.

"Marcello Lippi is one of the world's best coaches. I respect him. Any Italy attacking line will be strong."
