Empty stadiums is a shock. I attended almost all the matches divided amongst four cities in Ghana 2 years ago. During weekday work hours, most stadiums were packed to the brim. Search for YouTube videos of the non-stop, festive atmosphere of CAN 2008. Even in the far north of the country in Tamale; Tunisia, South Africa, Angola and Senegal were able to pull in crowds locally from Ghana mostly. Believe me.. the tickets cost a lot more also! I guess GHANA is a more 'football crazy' nation. I mean ... Luanada is considered kilometers from Cabinda. So any local in Luanda could not make an excuse not to attend the Luanada venue. They would know better about safety in that city. Yes.. Kiko, I agree. Ghana had no sort of slander back in 2008. + what I'm hearing, The Angolan LOC really slept on their duties. I wonder how many journalist/bloggers are in these four cities? Ghana 2008 was over-run by them.
