So now we know: Prisoners at the notorious US military prison in Guantanamo Bay are massive fans of the Black Stars - Ghana's national football team.
That's according to the two former Yemeni detainees, who were recently released from the camp and transferred to Ghana. They've been speaking to state radio station Uniiq FM.
The two men told the station that many of of their fellow detainees at Guantanamo supported the Black Stars at the 2010 Football World Cup.
So, what could be the explanation for this loyal support?
Well, it was Ghana who dumped the USA out of the tournament at the last-16 stage.
Striker Asamoah Gyan, who the two men say was their favourite player at the tournament, dashed American hopes with a injury-time winner.
"When Ghana beat America, we were very happy. We made some celebrations. We also told the guards that we've won," Mahmoud Omar Bin Atef, who was held for a decade without charge, told the station.
