How comes nobody is celebrating those girls. Despite being the lowest rank team of all the countries participating yet they defeated world number 3 and 5. Best of luck in the remaining matches ladies
Congrats ladies. You made us and Africa proud by your exploit so far. Stay focused and work hard to make the semis.
