Seven Days in the Arena

The past seven days have seen some major ooohs,aaahs,wooows and even mtcheeeews from sports fans and these are some of the reasons why:
Wayne Rooney sparked life,wonder and amazement into onlookers when he decided to defy physics to score an absolutely beautiful bicycle kick to settle a mentally draining Manchester Derby at Old Trafford. What a sight it was and for many Ghanaian fans,it was the perfect warm up for the local Black Stars' last group game against Niger in the ongoing CHAN in Sudan.
However,it turned out to be more of the same as a defeat was what Herbert Addo and his charges could give all of us.A brilliant replication of our first two group games against South Africa (a developmental side,I might add) and Zimbabwe,wasn't it?
Off the pitch,the GFA got another thumbs up from FIFA as the fourth installment of the FIFA Goal Project was earmarked for construction.Good job,lads.I only hope that all these projects will score the goals they are supposed to.
The GFA weren't the only ones getting huge plaudits,mind you.My senior from secondary school and a soul brother (we share the same birthday),Asamoah Gyan got a lovely handshake from Glo as he became their newest ambassador.What more can you wish for as a young player?Scoring goals in the EPL and being $130,000 richer every year.Life must surely be good for the 'Baby Jet'.I only hope his lyrical prowess gets sharpened along the line.Just kidding,folks.
Of course,we can't forget North London's exploits in Europe as Spurs stabbed AC Milan and that pushed Gatusso into disturbia and hysteria and of course,the ''Miracle'' that Arsenal performed at the Emirates by beating everybody's favourite enemy and second favourite team,Barcelona.
The Black Princesses need rememberance especially after beating Liberia 4-0.Great start and it should lead us to great things.
How could I have forgotten the ''No Congo,no Wembley'' chant making the rounds?We'll see how that pans out especially after Plavi had a chat with the Bison.
An interesting week,folks.Enjoy the sporting week.Cheer on!!!
