Brain Break

So this is the first of hopefully many post I will place on my blog capturing the image of my choice during a 5 minute break in summer school. So today the story is on the 2010 FIFA World Cup and the back story of the Boateng brothers. Both have the same father from Ghana and diffrent mothers who raised them, Jerome Boateng, represents Germany as a midfielder and his brother, Kevin-Prince Boateng, represents his homeland of Ghana. However, there is a problem between the two brothers involving the injury of Germany's famed player, Michael Ballack. On May 15, Kevin-Prince hacked down Germany's famed midfielder, causing injury and breaking his world cup dream. His brother supported him but, the red card he earned was warranted to happen and that was what he got. The brothers refused to talk and will face each other. If Serbia beats Australia it will be impossible for both brothers to continue.
