Celebrations of Morocco’s historic win spiralled across Africa to the heartbeat of Europe with Moroccans and other Africans in Frankfurt am Main Germany storming the streets immediately after Morocco stunned the Spaniards in a penalty shootout in celebration, driving through the streets, waving flags and honking their cars across the city.
In an extraordinary fashion and the spirit of victory over an opponent compared only to the biblical David and Goliath, residents of Frankfurt am Main some of which are still to recover from the early return of the German team, looked on in bewilderment as the usual calm and quietness which usually characterise most evenings was overwhelmed with unusual honking, shouting and celebrations on the streets of their beloved city.
