What a day full of surprises in the Worldcup! Ghana v. Czech Rep. was one of the best, most exciting games I have seen so far. The Black Stars brought the Czech team to its knees and won a great upset. And then the USA – Italy battle … horrible football … but what drama. Wow!

We watched both games at Satisfaction in Durham, and the USA game drew quite a crowd – who says the Americans don’t like football (the real football). Americans appreciate a good, competitive sport when they see one! I noticed a few people stay and watch the game, although they did not go there to see the game, and probably had no idea the Worldcup was on.

I am looking forward to next Thursday’s games – this should be interesting!
