I grew up with it. That's like the only sport in Ghana. It's almost like a religion. When there's a soccer game, everything closes down. When the national team is playing there's no traffic in town, everybody's at home watching the game.
Businesses close down because everyone's watching the game at work.
Yeah, both times playing soccer. That's why I'm on crutches now. You should definitely come to the game. I definitely miss the atmosphere there, but actually, Macalester soccer fans have recently gotten a lot of flack because other teams are writing our coach letters saying how our fans are disrespectful and offensive. Coach Leaney sent out an e-mail out to the guys on the team to remind their fans to tone it down or else he's going to have to take action.
