They all had individual styles of jubilating, but the Kangaroo dance just came naturally after they had enjoyed Tic Tac's hit song titled Kangaroo.

According to Portsmouth wonder boy Muntari, it is always a good feeling to flow with what is in vogue and one which the fans can easily identify with. “I think we’ve tried so many dances but at the moment, the Kangaroo is the most fascinating he said.

Michael Essien also commented that dancing is a big part of Ghanaian culture and with football which involves drumming and dancing, it is a great achievement to dance after scoring a goal.
