Last week Sarah and I went to the Nigeria-Zambia game in the FIFA under 20 World Cup of soccer. The rain storm was crazy, the game was close and the African fans were a blast. In the end Nigeria won 2-1, which led to a massive party in the stands. One large group had drums and trumpets and paraded through the outside of the stadium with the rest of their group dancing and singing; it was great! The first video are the official highlights of the game from FIFA's website, the second is a video which I pulled off of youtube posted by someone from an earlier Nigeria game, but it gives a good sense of the party atmosphere we enjoyed. FYI, Nigeria has since been knocked out of the tournment (as have the US and Canada) and two teams we've seen (Argentina and Czech Republic) are in the semi-finals and could face each other in the finals. The other two teams still alive are Austria (who beat the US) and Chile.
