Vigil for World Champs


Over four thousand Ghanaian fans waited patiently for over three hours for the arrival of newly crowned FIFA U-20 champions the Black Satellites on Saturday night at the Accra airport. The champs finally landed via an Egypt Air flight at about 10:30pm to rapturous applause from a grateful nation. Ghana defeated Brazil 4-3 on penalties after a scoreless game in Cairo to become Africa's first team to win at Under 20 after two previous attempts each by Ghana and Nigeria at the the final.
