Kevin-Prince Boateng is happy to be part of the Black Stars team, hailing the family spirit within the set-up.

The midfielder who is capped twice for Ghana is playing in his first major competition for the four-time African champions.

Boateng, 23, has slotted in well into the Ghana team and says he feels at home.

"I have not be here (Ghana team) for too long but already I feel like I have been here for long," he said.

"It's a big and great family and I proud to be a member of this family. There's a fantastic spirit within the set-up. We play for each other."

Boateng is expected to line up again for the Black Stars when they play Australia on Saturday at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rusterburg in Group D as Ghana go in search of a second straight win at the World Cup.

Though the group has been thrown wide open after Serbia beat Germany 1-0 to join Ghana - who play pointless Australia - with three points, Boateng likens the up-coming clash to a Champions League final.

"We did it well against Serbia. But this is the game of the season. It's our Champions League final. We have to go out there and win the game."
