Friday, dancing in streets of cities from the Atlantic Ocean to the Congo River.

Thousands gathered in the Senegalese capital, Dakar, to mark the World Cup newcomer's barely-hoped for victory over the World Cup's defending champion -- and their former colonial ruler.

Men, women and children ran and danced through the city at the 1-0 triumph, with Senegal's red, green and yellow flag streaming from outstretched hands.

Thousands pressed up to the gates of the Palace of the Republic in downtown Dakar to congratulate the president, Abdoulaye Wade, who decreed the day a national holiday so that all could celebrate.

The president later toured the capital in a triumphant motorcade.
