The Game

So Saturday was a joyous occasion for all of Ghana - Ghana beat the United States in World Cup play to advance to the next round. Unfortunately I was cheering for USA to win. Myself and about 20 other trainees and trainers (PC trainers are simply current PCVs in the country) descended upon a place in New Tafo called ... the Point? I don't really remember what it was called but after we showed up around 5 pm, and before the game started we hung out and had a few beers. Then about 50 or so Ghanaians came and a television was set up outside for all to watch.Watching Ghana score their first goal was like watching people on Bourbon street watching the Saints win the Superbowl - this was the biggest event EVER. The rest of the night was uneventful except for the US equalizing, but cheering about a goal in a sea of people just glaring at you does have its downsides. Overall, it was an experience to watch people to enthralled by a game.
