Today was our big day, the World Cup! We all woke up at ten except for me, I woke up at nine. I was the most excited and could barely get to sleep in my bathtub. We all got ready, ate breakfast, and headed out. We caught a bus at 11:30 to get to the Green Point Stadium. The game was at 1:00 and was United States vs. Ghana. I got the gang some snacks and a few drinks and got ready for the game to begin.
The game was very exciting with Ghana scoring in the first three minutes. The U.S. had a goal with forty-five seconds left in the half which tied the game at 1-1. The second half started and their was no action until the U.S. scored with sixteen minutes to go. Ghana answered back with two minutes left! The game went into two overtimes but the U.S. pulled out with a goal off a free kick outside the keeper’s box. The U.S. had won!!
After the game, we saw a crazy Ghana fan run out on the field and had to be wrestled down by security! That was exciting. We were all very excited and on our feet the whole time. We took a bus back to our hotel after an exhausting day. We got back at about 6:00 and got a quick bite to eat. Now we are chilling here for the rest of the night. What an exciting day!
