I tell you, I'm kind of pulling for Ghana on this one. Because what if their victory unites all of Africa! Imagine that, a whole continent's artificial barriers to unity swept away in a sudden realization that hey, these important distinctions of culture, language and tribe are wonderful things, insofar as they unite us in the mutual appreciation for and celebration of the common humanity that underlies them! But insofar as they divide us in a celebration of killing the other guy off, well they're kind of bullshit.
And to have a point like that driven home, and everybody on the whole damn mighty continent to get behind UNITY - all because of a FUTBOL game! Wow, what a miracle. And then maybe all those prissy humanitarian elitists will stop talking shit about how sports is a waste of precious resources that could be better used to feed the starving poor!!!
I'm so sick of hearing that shit. And this isn't bias talking, either. I don't even like soccer.
