after watching uruguay eliminate ghana from the world cup last friday, my girl jb coined the term world cup seasonal affective disorder. we were both shattered and demoralized, especially having spent the better part of two hours screaming at the top of our lungs and jumping up and down. a part of me wanted ghana to win so badly that i had invested all my emotions into the outcome, and had to commiserate with other folks for several hours afterward just to lift my spirits. i would have been okay if uruguay had been the better team (which they weren't) and hadn't flatly cheated in the final moments of regulation time, suarez booting the ball out of the goal with his arm.

it really wasn't fair.

and i understand that asamoah gyan missed the penalty, and that that WAS fair, but there needs to be some "automatic goal" rule for shady footballers who cheat. and i CAN'T BELIEVE they didn't send prince up early in the lineup for his penalty kick. he would have rocked that lame uruguayan goalie's world. i don't know what happened to the other penalty kickers. mensah's energy was wrong the whole game and he should have been last up to kick or not at all. and adiyiah...i can't even talk about it. i'm not watching any more matches. it's too depressing at this point. uruguay should be disqualified. that's the second dirty game i've seen them play in a week's time. if they were any good, they wouldn't have to cheat!
