As I’m typing, this Saturday afternoon, I’m watcing the game between Ghana and the Czech Republic. It was exciting to see Ghana score its very first World Cup goal ever in the beginning of the game. The Ghanaian team is one of the youngest participating in the even. The Czech team is a older and more experienced but they haven’t scored yet. So far, Ghana:1 Czech: 0. I like thatboth teams are playing in a very sportsmanship manner with each other. Good for them! Later in the day, I’ll be watching U.S.A. vs. Italy. Should be another interesting game.
