“They’ve been very amazing and today I really saw a support [like] the 1980’s, the 1990’s…they were so hopeful, overly hopeful; they knew we were going to win so even though time was not on our side, they kept their calm, I never heard anybody say something negative to any player. It was so beautiful so I want to say a very big thank you to them” Dr. Ogum said.
