Fireworks in October

Locals put out a big fireworks on display on this past Saturday night, and there is a good reason for it.

The Black Satellites successfully and historically beat Brazilian team to win the first ever U20 FIFA world cup. Although it is a win for a youth team, it is still indicates a bright future for the Black Star, the national team.

The year of 2009 must be a year of Ghana, first it peacefully transferred power to a opposition leader in a closest election ever, next it welcomed a fist African American President visit, becoming the first sub-Sahara country to receive Obama and his family. A while ago, the Ghana soccer national team stormed through qualify round and became the first African nation to enter the FIFA World Cup next year in South Africa, now the tomorrow soccer stars shine in Egypt to bring Ghana another trophy home.

Viva to the soccer players for bringing some cheers and lifting the spirits.
