The Final

It is all over. The fat lady has sung. The whistle has blown. It's too late to think of any more cliches. I'm all exhausted.

Egypt won the 26th Africa Cup of Nations. They beat the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon 1-0 in Accra and it wasn't a bad final. The best team won and all lovers of football can go away and think: those Egyptian boys done well.

I loved their silky passing patterns. When I go back to my team I'm going to try what the Egyptians do and pass to someone on the same side during a match.

Fascinating as Mr Spock in Star Trek would say.

The Cape Coast magical history tour starts tomorrow. I am going to take my computer with me so I can listen to my music and more importantly watch some DVDs as I recover from this my first Africa Cup of Nations.

Go Ghana Go, as they used to sing on the TV.
