I have some Ghana chocolate bars here
(glico chocolate company Osaka) which I
will devour at kickoff. Ghana, however,
in addition to having a team which could
very well beat us tonight, has a kick ass
national anthem. Here are the lyrics:

God bless our homeland Ghana
And make our nation great and strong
Bold to defend for ever
The cause of Freedom and of Right
Fill our hearts with true humility
Make us cherish fearless honesty,
And help us to resist oppressors' rule
With all our will and might for evermore


Hail to thy name, O Ghana
To thee we make our solemn vow:
Steadfast to build together
A nation strong in Unity
WITH OUR GIFT OF MIND AND STRENGTH OF ARM
Whether night or day, in mist or storm
IN EVERY NEED WHAT'ER THE CALL MAYBE
TO SERVE THEE, O Ghana, NOW EVERMORE


Raise high the flag of Ghana
AND ONE WITH AFRICA ADVANCE
BLACK STAR OF HOPE AND HONOUR
To all who thirst for Liberty
Where the banner of Ghana freely flies
May the way to freedom truly lie
Arise, arise, O sons of Ghanaland
And under God march on for evermore!

Peace and let's have a great game with no
referee problems (It's a German, so OK)
