So, now that the World Cup has started, my entire life is consumed by football (or soccer for all you crazy Americans). Saturday, after an adventure that I’ll explain in a future post, we finally made it home and headed to a bar to watch the U.S.A vs. England match. Let me tell you, being one of two people in the entire place cheering for the U.S. is kinda awkward. People were chanting and singing, all for England. Luckily, we tied. At least I didn’t have to listen to annoying British people brag about beating us.
Sunday Ghana played their first game. Let’s just say, that was a very memorable experience. Their reactions at anything bad were hilarious and their celebration after Ghana scored and then after they won were crazy. After the game, entire streets were flooded with people, making it impossible for cars to go through. Music was blaring and everyone was dancing. Apparently, now that I am in Ghana, I have to dance. That’s exactly what I’ve worked so hard to avoid for so long. At any rate, it was a lot of fun to be part of the excitement and celebrate the Ghanaian win. I’m looking forward to the next game (if we win) and the craziness that will ensue.
Here are some pictures of Osu (part of Accra) after the match.
