Even when it was raining, they were in good spirit. I am delighted it went so well.� Paintsil said he was overwhelmed by the support, but above all by the response of the players. �They have come off a long season and yet to choose to come here and play. The support from Ghanaians for this good cause was great.� Ashley Cole added, �It a great cause to come here. Of course we can�t change the world with a game but it was good to come here and send a positive message out.�
