Super Eagles Don Catch Bird Flu

From the FIFA website, the heading reads "Ghana hammer Nigerians in London". Surely there has been a mistake as it should be "Ghana Bum-Rapes Nigeria, 4 Times". And a rather public bum-rape it was too. Ghana started scoring and couldnt stop. Granted, Nigeria arent as good as some of the teams we played in the world cup but you can only beat what's in front of you right? Yup! So Ghana's unbeaten record since the world cup still stands and now a lot of teams will quake in their boots at the mention of the Black Stars.

it was pure heaven watching the Ghanaian midfield control the game and outplay their Nigerian counterparts last night. As always, me and the boys went to support the team.

There was a few minutes of scary antics by the Ghanian defence in letting Obi Mikel through in the first half but nothing that coudnt be taken care of by a quick chanting of "Ee-zay! Ee-zay" as Richard Kingston pawed away their tame shots.

We wouldnt soon find out though that it seemed the Nigerians had come on half a tank as Ghana took control of the midfield and in so doing, the match! It didnt matter that my toes were freezing... I still beat on my drum and screamed at the top of my voice in response to the Ghana Jama. Awesome stuff too cos this time (unlike the one vs Australia) I saw every goal as it happened. I seem to have finally figured out a way to drum, dance and shout and still keep an eye out for the match.

The fun didnt stop there though. We drummed and danced all the way on the Central Line till Stratford. The few Nigerians that were on our bus to the tube station and subsequently in the tube carriage would certainly regret not taking a later train. Sure, they didnt understand most of the Ga and Twi jama chants but they sure knew we werent praising them.

"Naija fo mbaayiwa, wó 'nshé pioto. Baako shé pioto, ne to atiti" among others. When they tried to deflect our taunts with some lame shouts of Ghana Must Go were quickly countered by our shouts of "Naija Must Score". it sure was a sad day to be a Nigerian football fan! And a Good day to be Ghanaian (unless you ate a dodgy meat pie like me at the stadium and are seeing the effects today)

So there! Congratulations to the Black stars. See you at the next one and continue playing like that at the tournament in 2008.

Oh ja, one more thing. Who knows what you call a Super Eagle with bird flu? I'm thinking "Dodo" but that's just me.
