Robyn//Dancing On My Own

I've been listening to this song, almost non-stop, ever since it came out. Robyn is one of my favourite artists, I love the amount of energy and intimacy she puts into every song, as well as her live performances. It's all so infectious. Great catchy melodies and rhythms, but still different to all the other radio friendly pop that's going around. 

TRIUMPH OF AFRICA: BLACK STARS KEEP SHINNING!

Ghana has advanced to the quarterfinals after defeating the US 2-1, but I'm sure you know that by now. It was a beautiful game that went into extra time, a total of around 120mins. Ghana played splendidly with Kevin-Prince Boateng scoring Ghana's first goal within the first 5 minutes of the game. Despite a penalty kick scored by the USA's Dempsey, Ghana was not finished. A BEAUTIFUL goal was scored in extra time by Ghana's Gyan, as two US defenders tried to tackle him, but struggled to comprehend the complexity of his skills. Despite many attempts at goal, the US could just not penetrate the Ghanaian defenders nor the brilliant saves provided by Kingson, Ghana's goalkeeper.

Next up, Ghana will play a tough South American opponent, Uruguay.
