World Cup 6/13


The World Cup has officially started, and Cameroonians are now busy cheering on their team. My little town stayed up late to root for the Lions. The whole town crowded around three very small TV screens at the local bars in the center of town. All the stops were pulled. People had capes, flags, jerseys, and of course—lots of beer. It was so populated that people had to go and bring chairs from home. Cameroon’s first game was against Mexico. The crowd was very excited and cheered like crazy when Cameroon scored (of course, the goal did not ultimately count), but still, every single person was on their feet. Unfortunately, Cameroon ended up losing the game. It was definitely a bit disappointing, but the Cameroonians took it in stride and everyone still clapped at the end of the match.
