Okay, so I've only found two videos so far, both post-game. I guess Ghanaians aren't self-absorbed enough to film themselves watching soccer in bars. We'll also accept videos of U.S. fans crying, so send either if you've got them. More »

Ghana needs a draw the guarantee advancing. Ironically, the safest bet for Germany is to play for a win and let the rest sort itself out. Follow along and say your favorite thing about both country in the comments. More »
