Super Saturday has arrived. This is it. The big one. Cameroon's first of two days of destiny has arrived. After a poor start, the "Indominatable Lions" are edging towards South Africa 2010, and a win today against Togo will pushy them that bit nearer. And it's being beamed live and exclusive in to my local pub's 24 inch TV. To contain my excitement, I decide to visit a bookshop for some books.
Matthias, the store manager happily informs me that he spent 14 years of his life in California during and after college, when he played first division college soccer. He says he met Kanu, oh, and most of the world cup squads from 1994. He must really like Kanu. Matthias knows where to get the best palm wine in town. This is a local favourite, one that I have yet to try. You can drill it from the bigger trees or chop down the smaller ones and drip the wine into a small container at the chopping down point. It slowly drains out and apparently the middle containers will give you the best booze. I think I will take him up on his offer sometime.
He is accurate with his prediction that the streets will be empty for the game and it unfolds in to a pretty comfortable three nil win for the Lions. Just one win away now. After taking in the game in a local bar in Town, I wonder up past the Lord Nelson, Freeze and Coconut Island. Home Jeeves!
