National Intel: Ghanaians take their soccer seriously. Michael Essien, the dynamic midfielder that was Ghana's best and brightest hope for a World Cup win, said he was 'prepared to die' for victory. Essien won't be playing at the cup due to injury and his absence has been a source of anxiety for Ghanaian fans in Africa, and here, in Toronto. Kwami Osuwu, the VP consul at the Ghanaian consulate in Toronto, predicts good things for the team this cup, with or without Essien. 'It is not that I hope we do well, I know we will do well,' he says. 'I have faith. That is stronger than hope.' And if they lose? 'I have seen men collapse on the ground, weep, forego food for days,' he says. 'But I am a man. I will be strong.'
The pitch: For a no-nonsense celebration, The Point, an authentic Ghanaian restaurant at Jane and Wilson (located at the site of the former Mama Pee's), is the hang.
The grub: Traditional fare like fufu (pounded cassava), palm-nut soup and kelewele (spicy plantain chips).
