You know i have stayed away from this subject for a while. I have not blogged about World Cup since it begun..I did not want to join my husband daily on his crazy outbursts about how all those African teams had chances and they kept on blowing it up…How that  Sani Kaita from Nigeria kicked that player from Greece and gets a red card leaving his team mates to play their guts out pretty much the entire game! That being said,  i had to watch today’s game. Naturally, I am a US fan, but  obviously a Ghana fan too.

Today, I wanted the Ghanaians to win. The world cup is held in S. Africa. We all know where all the other Africa teams ended up in…the sidelines.  Ghana’s win was not only for those young men in that national team. It was a win for every other country in Africa. It was a win for all of us of African descent spread all over this world.  I have to give it to them, for a moment there i didn’t think they could beat the US Team.

This game kept me on my toes, especially the last 30 min.  It was sad watching the US lose, seeing some of the players shed tears…Watching the star player Donovan walk away from the field, exchanging jerseys with one of the Ghanian players and not even look at his face, but it is all part of the game. You win some, you lose some. Honestly, just for today , i wanted Ghana to win.

Congratulations to Ghana, and thank you for putting Africa back on the play list, and for heavensake play the game like you played today in that  Keep the drama off the field, Play like you have never played before. You beat a good team today, so, you have to take that and go win it again!

I mean  the US Team really owned that second quarter…I was really nervous there for a moment, they  played well. Great game!

Go Ghana! Good luck! For Heavens sake, play for Africa this time, so whatever you do, know you are representing all of us. We are rooting for you.
