even still...Go Black Stars

Well, "my" Black Stars couldn't pull off the impossible in beating Brazil today. The final was 3-0.

However, said Brazil's coach: "It wasn't easy and we knew it wasn't going to be easy, 3-0 seems easy, but it wasn't."

Said Ghana's coach: "[Ghana] faced a great team, the world champions, they are the best in competition, defending champions. It is not a shame to lose to Brazil."

Go Black Stars!

Dancing in the streets of Accra (and Kumasi, Cape Coast, Takoradi, Axim, Sunyani...well, any city of any size in Ghana).

Final score:

Ghana 2
USA 1

Ghana advances to the second round with Italy.

Back in Alabama

I'm sure some of you are already aware, but I'm back in the states. Specifically in Alabama. More stories and pictures forthcoming, but here are two. The first is of me drinking a Heineken in Amsterdam...just so I could say I did it. The second is proof I'm a geography nerd. It's me with my feet in the other side of the Atlantic Ocean (The Gulf of Guinea at Axim, Ghana).

I'll post more later, and tell stories ad nauseum.
