I woke up this morning and thought it was all a dream, but GHANA has truly won! I am extremely proud of our boys!

Ghana is among the 8 best teams in the world! Wow! There is no stopping us now!!!!

Before the game, I was not as nervous as I usually am. This was a sign! Ghana had beaten the USA by 2-1 in the 2006 World Cup and I was confident that they would do it again.

When Asamoah Gyan scored the game winner in extra-time, I was so excited that I didn't know what to do with myself. I ran outside like a mad woman and I once again almost got hit by a car.

My family and I went down to Jane & Wilson in Toronto (which is pretty much Ghana central) and Ghanaians were out in their numbers!

There was a huge street party and people were going crazy! I've never seen so many Ghanaians in one place apart from Ghana.

Here are some pictures from the celebration:

GO BLACKSTARS GO BLACKSTARS GO!

I'm now confident that we WILL be the FIRST African team to win the cup!We not only carry Ghana's hopes, but all of Africa!
