When Jerome Boateng and Kevin-Prince Boateng stepped out on the field in the 2010 World Cup quarterfinals, they weren’t the first set of brothers to take the field together. But, there was something different about this instance. On June 23, 2010, when Germany took on Ghana in that quarterfinal match, two Boateng brothers were on the field. The difference between that day and other days is that, for the first time in World Cup history, the two brothers were representing opposite teams.
Kevin-Prince Boateng was born on March 6, 1987 in West Berlin, Germany to a German mother and Ghanaian father.
