The World Cup, economics & development
USA: Population, 250m; GDP, 1st in the world.
Ghana: Population, 22m; GDP, 169th in the world.
Guess who's going through to the next round of the World Cup, and who's going home?

China, over 1 billion people, didn't qualify.

Congrats to Ghana on their run, and back to the drawing board for the US, but the demographic comparisons are really quite irrelevant.
