Ghana's favorite national pastime is football.  Like most of the world, however, in Ghana "football" is soccer.  You may remember that the Ghana national team (called the Black Stars) defeated the US in 2010 to reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup.  We attended this football match this afternoon between two local amateur teams that was held at the Teacher's College field across the street.

There was a rainstorm in the afternoon before the game.  As you can see, the field leaves a little to be desired.  Most of our kids play soccer on better fields.  There were puddles in front of the goals and the net  is held down with rocks.  But the conditions didn't dampen anyone's enthusiasm!
