Black Stars ready to shine on

GHANA are hoping to ride an historic African wave all the way to the World Cup final.

Defender Jonathan Mensah says his team cannot wait for their quarter-final against Uruguay in Soccer City, Johannesburg on Friday after putting out the United States 2-1 after extra time in the Royal Bafokeng stadium on Saturday night.

Ghana are only the third African team to reach a World Cup quarter-final after Cameroon in 1990 and Senegal in 2002 and they intend to approach their last-eight tie in exactly the same way they beat the USA, by showing no fear.
