Nothing like watching the World Cup game USA v. GHA in Ghana! It was crazy! We went to this lace we call the "dirt patch." It's like a bar, but outside, and not really a bar at all, but you canbuy alcohol, and they have outdoor chairs to sit in outside on the dirt and stuff...okay, so that wasn't the best description, but hopefully you understand a lite bit...but anyways! There was a big screen and a projector set up and they were steaming the game. The place was PACKED with Ghanaians and when we walked in they hooted and hollard at us. Matt, Brad, and Lauren were waving an American flag as we walked in--because we clearly didn't stick out already. Within the first minute of the game USA scored and all of us stood up and screamed. But the. We all whispered, "if US actually pulls this off and wins, should we leave early?" Ghanaians eat, sleep, breath football (soccer). But after half time Ghana scored and all 200 people jumped up and ran around and yelled and danced and threw chairs; it was so scary!! I watched with my mouth gaping open...it was insane. USA ended up winning 2-1 which was sweet because I called the score before the game started. Nailed it! and everyone was Ella nice to us and came up and shook our hands and said things like, "good game."
It was such an awesome experience!
