GHANA makes us proud!!!!
Guys, you tell me, what we have to do to get some R.E.S.P.E.C.T.Ghana just beat the US and this is what CNN can put up as a headline just minutes after the game?
Black Star deathblow
Ghana eliminates U.S. with 2-1 win; Africans advance

The Africans advance???? These Africans are from a sovereign Country called Ghana. Duh..
This is the same tone used when the Americans call everyone else non-american, Aliens. The correct term if anything is simply foreigners, period.
Am listening to ESPN Radio as I write this and some of the reasons the commentators are giving for the loss and the reason why Soccer isn't big in the US is because they (American's) are not poor. He says that poor Nations simply grow making up toys like kick balls and that's the reason why they are good at the game. Some other caller thought it was Guyana, please.....
AM seething right now, the next thing the bagger says is that Ghana is the barely the size of Chicago, Illinois and that they cannot fathom how this small Nation beat them and yet they are ranked 5th in Fifa world rankings. F%^$#* the rankings, the truth is on game day on the field.
Outside of being the land of opportunity, there's is plenty of ignorance & vanity and cultural insensitivity all around that hurts an otherwise great Nation. This is probably the same myopic & tough guy approach that drove the US blindly to Iraq and are now paying dearly for it with young soldiers lives and at the same time killing thousands of innocent civilians. If you count the injured and permanently maimed the tale of the tape speaks for itself. Everyone, men, women & children and everything that moves from cows, dogs, donkey carts & vehicles are potential bombs. Even a 6th grader will tell you that's a battle you cannot win.
Thank you GHANA ..... you made us all real PROUD. This was not just a historic win but a great lesson in the crazy world we live in Today.

JOkerr - At least show some respect to other Nations. We too would not say that we don't give 2 Shits about baseball & Football because we are not good at it. But yet we respect the sports enough to watch and even support some of the teams.
You guys got your butts kicked in Baseball & Basketball (Dream Team) and now soccer.
If it was a world Cup on BS, then you'd perhaps win by a mile.
C'mon Now. WHAT!!!
Brother Jero, simmer down. If as they say the proof is in the pudding, Ghanaians are eating the pudding now. And ESPN gave a fair(ish) review of the game. They and others are murmuring about the penalty awarded to Ghana...
But for you and I, and every other African out there, who cares??? Tumeshinda! Watasema, watachoka, ni shauri yao. Go Ghana, go Ghana GO!
PS: Anyone who's been watching these games knows that Ghana is the better team, hands down.
GO Ghana... and this coming from I who does not like football is a very big thing.
I cannot help doing a somersault or two at the might US of A being beaten at football.
Ghana did it, period! even without the penalty, a draw would still have a been a win for Ghana.
If america thought they could beat ghana 4 goals to qualify, they must have been drooling in lalaland!
Fact is that Americas are sore losers.They can't fathom that anyone can be better then them at anything!
ghana or brazil?
