The Black Stars Shine

Paul Doyle of The Guardian's Sportsblog has a fantastic piece on the Ghana-Nigeria "Derby" in which the Ghanians pasted the Super Eagles, who have held firm control over the rivalry in recent years. This is one of the great rivalries in African soccer and, as Doyle compellingly argues, in the world. And now the world should keep an eye out for the Black Stars, who host the African Cup of Nations next year and which will be looking to make noise in the World Cup in South Africa where all African teams will have de facto home status, especially if Bafana Bafana falter.
