Go Ghana!! Kick that ball!!

(I asked my favorite Ghanian to teach me their national footballing chant. Apparently they don't have one.)

I just ran across this video of the game.

I see from the linked page with the video that this entire soccer match was created to help bring about awareness of evils of gambling in world cup soccer.

What do you think the odds were on the game ?

I'm so down hearted right now. I was really hoping those 'phants would restore my faith in the animal kindom's sense of honour, but carrying the ball with your trunk, well, that's just not cricket.

Yeah, but the don't carry it into to goal they kick it in to score. I notice the guy said the ball was very heavy too.

So it's more like Australian Rules football. Do they still play that?

Thanks, I feel a bit better.

Yes, but that is played on Ostriches, I believe.

I believe you are thinking of African Rules Football. Australian is the one where you chase the dingo into the rabbit fence.
