We go.., We go..
We go.., we go..
Uganda Cranes we go
For 3 ½ hrs we heard the chant — and the vuvuzelas, whistles, horns, drums. The stadium was a continuous roar. Many people had been there all day but we arrived about 1:30 for the 5:00 kick-off. We have attended Big Ten football and basketball games and we don’t think those are any match for the noise at this game!
This was a “must” win game for the Uganda Cranes to be in the 2012 African Nations Cup. They played Kenya Harambee Stars. The Cranes were oh so close to scoring several times but it ended in a very disappointing 0-0 score. So nobody challenged the heavy security nor tried to rush the field at the end.
While we waited before the game, a number of different groups took to the track to encourage the cheering and noise, including cheerleaders and a “witchdoctor” performing his magical rites. It was also a time to watch people with their decorated hats, painted bodies. A memorable and fun time for all!
