Cameroon made it into the finals of the African Cup, that is football or soccer for everyone who has no idea what that is. It is a REALLY big deal over here, they will be playing Egypt who are the reigning champions at the moment. Town was really crazy today, people and cars covered in flags, people blowing whistle and horns. We even saw a guy completed painted in the colors of the flag running through town! The whole country shuts down when a game is on, the roads are completely empty. And if they score a goal, the whole city cheers, it's VERY loud. Really hoping they win, they have a great team. If they don't, people will be really unhappy. Last time they lost a big match people were rioting in the streets and tried to burn down the house of the guy that missed the penalty kick! So they take it really seriously. GO LIONS!!
