Yesterday the Black Stars played Botswana in the African Cup of Nations. Today I have not spoken to anyone who didn't watch the game. Ghana won 1-0, with the captain being given a red card, and so, causing quite the controversy.
Football (aka soccer), is everywhere here. Daily, or even hourly there are game being played on a dusty field or the large stadium. Jerseys of any era are being sold out of every second shop, and street signs advertise which games are being shown tonight.
I am enjoying the health promotion program that FIFA has launched in Africa to help educate people on a range of health issues. I wonder when the next game is on and there is a game-deciding goal shootout, who will be thinking about vaccinating their children? Or how many people will blame poor goalkeeping due to missing your medication? If there is one way to make people listen in Ghana, and I assume the rest of Africa, you get football involved.
HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY EVERYONE!
