Ghana 2, USA 1--Redux : David Meets Super-Sized Goliath
I’m just listening to commentary from my favourite Accra-based radio station (http://www.citifmonline.com) CITI97.3FM, which you can listen to online in crystal-clear quality. And as I sit at my desk, the cool wind blows, and I hear cars honking their horn in staccatos of one, two, three. We may be playing against the Brazilians.
The USA are out (the staccato continues), prompting a comment from my colleague that the car’s battery “is gonna die isn’t it”?
Someone shouts. Many hearts pound relentlessly.
As if in a dream, work resumes, but is it at its normal pace?
Ghana, the wrongly-speculated underdogs have transformed from football Lilliputians to the quintessential Black Stars of Africa who will be meeting Brazil – number one on the FIFA rankings – on…Tuesday.
Hold your breath, Africa. Hold your breath, World!
here are some more pictures:
Ghana and Italy top Group E, leaving the Czech Republic and the USA woefully behind.
A car stops by the entrance, and a lady springs out jumping, almost uleleling. Out comes a be-spectacled man joining in the dancing.
It would be a serious breach of security...were it not for the fact that the man is my former boss at work:-)
USA did good, Ghana did better, though the play was not as engaging as the Czech-Ghana game.
Hasta manana:-)

I wish your the Team the best Luck...
Though I'm from the USA, i think that Ghana definitely deserves the win: they wanted it more than the North Americans. Besides, nobody here really cares if they do well so it's best that a team with a following go thru to the next round! Saludos a mis amigos de Ghana!
