Iran vs. Portugal
Our Saturday began with America’s sworn enemy Iran taking on Portugal at 9 AM. Since Ed and I had already cheered on Portugal last weekend, Damian took it upon himself to root for the underdogs yet again. Not that he likes Iran or its leaders or anything. I promise. He was smitten with the attractive Iranian girl he saw before the game:
Hummuna Hummuna Hummus!
Iran looked good early, and Damian was excited about their chances. Doesn’t he look, ahem, “sheik?”
But alas, the Portuguese proved too strong and won. Poor Damian – maybe next match!
Ghana vs. Czech Republic
Up next was an important game for the US team’s chances. Ghana was playing the Czech Republic and – though everyone knew it would be impossible – if Ghana were to win, we would still have a chance. So Damian quickly forgot about his Iranian losers and went on a Ghanian adventure to support his new favorite team. Into the jungle he went…
Damian saw the monkeys of Ghana…
He was fortunate to see – and not be seen by – an elephant there as well…
Against the Czechs, Warrior Chief Damianuu conjured up all the spirits he knew.
Unbelievably, it worked! Ghana won 2-0! Chief Damianuu was happy and the US was still alive!
If someone can explain this to me, I’d be appreciative.
The next game was US-Italy and now it actually meant something.
