Apoa is very happy to see Ghana doing so well in the MacDonalds Fuji Coca Cola Londis Budgens TK Maxx World Cup (or whatever it's called these days). This is partly because we discovered that Apoa is an existing name in Ghana and partly because they have a player called Papoe (Papo was Apoa's name for herself when she liked her words to have at most one vowel or consonant at a time). I don't know why they're saying their win was a 'shock', though.

For the record, we're also supporting to varying degrees England (different percentages of support from each of us, with mine fluctuating quite dramatically, down with every aimless lob, up with every robodance), USA (for passport reasons), France (for Thierry and family connnections), Togo (for the nice flag and similarities to Scotland - leave you to work out what they are), Brazil (because they're Brazil), Portugal (ois pois), Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, Sweden (for the au pairs) and most of the other teams really.

This afternoon, we'll be supporting Australia (because we'll be in an Australian outpost at Tim and Rebecca's barbecue during the game) .

What a relief that Scotland aren't there!
