Ghana 1 Serbia 0




The whole town is on the streets, people cheering, waving flags, blowing their vuvuzeola, deafening horns - yellow plastic courtesy of MTN, official sponsors . Wow – the Black Stars did everyone proud – played their hearts out and deservedly won. Heart stopping moments – Serbia down to ten men but with fifteen minutes left to play, suddenly looking dangerous – Kingston the keeper makes a stunning save – we breathe again and then the penalty. Cool as ice – our man number three, Asamoah Gyan steps forward – no mistake – he buries it away – everyone on their feet ecstatic. The whole place erupts in joy - dancing, screaming - heaven. The rain has stopped – the telly held out – no power outages today – we are on our way. Go Black Stars – Go.

Dave,
Ghana needs your prayers - the answer to all problems here in Ghana! Tomorrow is the deciding day so we will be watching Ghana play Germany with crowds of Ghanains.
Love to you and snickets.
