Germany out to silence Ghana's Boateng


SANTO ANDRE Brazil (Reuters) - Germany will be looking to silence Ghana's Kevin-Prince Boateng in their World Cup Group G match on Saturday after the German-born midfielder accused Joachim Loew's team of lacking a "tough-guy" leader to carry them through tight matches.

Boateng, who once played for Germany's Under-21 team before switching to Ghana, touched a nerve by saying that no German takes charge in tough games - as in their semi-final defeat by Italy at Euro 2012 and a 4-4 draw with Sweden last year.
