Since we are always talking about foreign talents in Singapore, this might interest some of you.

Did you know that Kevin-Prince Boateng, the man who scored the first goal for Ghana against the USA last night, was born in Germany and only allowed to play for Ghana a month before the World Cup?

Of course, talent isn’t everything. Ghana also has a good youth development system, according to the same iht.com article. Ghana beat Brazil to win the World U-20 Championship and some of those youngsters played in the Ghana squad that came in second to Egypt in the African Nations Cup earlier this year.

Tonight, Germany take on England with 11 of the 23 members in their squad from various ethnic backgrounds.

The world is a changing.
