Was a little worried about Essien not being able to play this World Cup. Was even more worried when Sulley Muntari was omitted from the starting line-up due to his thigh injury, even though it was rumoured he would be fighting fit for Serbia. However as my little one from Ghana promised me, the boys pulled through. The Black Stars are the epitome of African football, African Pride and African survival. They were so poised, not too ambitious but not too cautious, just right. Just beautiful! Just beautiful! It was good to see Appiah playing for a bit too, I have missed him. You can see why this team was a finalist at the Africa Cup earlier this year. Algeria's 0-1 loss to Slovenia highlights the unfortunate fact that the Eygptians, the current Africa Cup champions should have been in South Africa. They are in a difficult group with Germany who won 4-0 to Australia but I think they can pull through in second place for sure if they continue to play with such level heads.
All I have to say to the Serbian coach is maybe you should tie your player's octopus hands behind their backs because clearly they have issues controlling them ;}
Here is video of Gyan's penalty that gave Ghana the lead deservedly. Pity he couldn't get that second goal, I think it was one of the best misses of the tournament if you can have such a thing :}
And here is a cute video I found of a little Afghan girl giving Ghana's football history. She really knows her stuff!
