Read about it here. Victorious Afghan Hamid Hassan blogs about it here: After the match, I had to go to do a post-match media conference and they all wanted to know how it felt to beat USA, but the opposition didn’t matter to me.

The First Black President of the USA! But also the Ninth President of the USA of Welsh Descent! I am in tears because of both facts. Wales should proud that one of our boys is the first African American President of the USA. His paternal ancestry is in Kenya, but his maternal ancestry is in Wales!
