Fulham fullback John Pantsil admits it will be difficult facing teammate Mark Schwarzer at the World Cup.

Ghana are in the same group as Australia.

Pantsil told Fultime magazine: "It will be strange coming up against Mark when Ghana and Australia meet in the second game. I'm used to helping him stop goals, rather than trying to put the ball past him.

"Would I like to score in that game? Of course, because you know you have done something special when you beat Mark Schwarzer - he's one of the best goalkeepers in the world."
