gana ghana (i hope!)

so since ticolandia is leaving world cup germany after the first round, and cameroon somehow didn't quite make it (due to politics and prejudice, not to lack of talent, according to patrik... hmm... orgulloso? un poco!) i have come to support another small, odds-are-against-it country, thanks to the very enthusiastic crowd of ghanians at the world centre :)
ghana plays the u.s. tonight, and i have no remorse for supporting a country whose passport i do not posses over a country whose passport i do! there are about ten ghanians serving here, all who dress up in green, red and yellow to watch their country play, and you can hear them cheer three blocks away :D feels like home!
patrik and i will watch the game in the quite-crowded living room of a friend with cable, along with all the other ghanians and wanna-be ghanians, in ghana's chance to make it to the second round... it lost one game and won another, so has to win tonight (or a very lucky draw depending on how the other teams in its group play tonight)... fingers crossed {x}
