Ghana nationality hopeful Kevin-Prince Boateng is relishing a possible moment of playing against his younger brother, Jerome Boateng, who might wear the German jersey at the World Cup in South Africa.
Ghana face Germany, Serbia and Australia in Group D.
According to ghanafa.org, the possible switch will partially reunite the brothers as well as make World Cup history. They would be the first siblings to have played against each other in a World Cup match.
Jerome said in the report: "I don't know how dad's going to work out who to support, but he is as excited as me and Kevin.
"Ever since Germany and Ghana were drawn in the same group, Kevin and I have been sending each other messages. The texts have been flying. The handshake before kick-off is going to be a special moment, but after that he's just another opponent. Family will count for nothing, and if I have to kick him, I will without even thinking.
"We've faced each other once before, when he was on loan at Borussia Dortmund near the end of last season. I was on the losing side that day, but I have told him I will have my revenge in Johannesburg."
