Ghana Beats US 2-1

sad and happy. But I'm just about the only one. The rest of the city is jubilating, as they say. Everybody is wearing their Ghana shirts today, and many people were wearing one that said Blaster Ghana, including ol' Kofe at our hotel. I asked him what "Blaster Ghana" meant, and he was like, duh! Blackstars! And he's right--that's exactly what it sounds like when they say it (well, mostly--it sounds a little more like Blastah!). So it's a pun! Blaster! Blaster Bashè! Black Stars Will Win!

Next the Blaster have to play Brazil, though--Brazil's supposed to be the best. But if sheer energy is worth anything, Ghana has it in the bag.
