The World Cup is off to a cracking start already; so far we've seen England draw with U.S.A and Ghana win their match with Serbia; I'm sure they'll be more drama's and the usual theatrical diving, along with the prerequisite penalty shoot out. Good grief - football can be a farcical sport! Well, for some respite from all the goings-on, I've compiled a little fact file about the Black Stars - Ghana's football squad. If you know any more tidbits about the team, let me know!
The Ghana Black Stars were founded in 1957, shortly after Ghana gained her independence.
The Black Stars were the only African nation to reach the second round of the 2006 World Cup.
Stephen Appiah is the team captain, while Abedi Pele is the top goal scorer.
Each member of the team received a $20,000 bonus from the President for reaching the final of the African Cup of Nations.
Michael Essien, who plays for Chelsea, is perhaps Ghana's most famous football export.
