Cambodians Win Trophy for Bravery and The Hearts of Many at Homeless World Cup in Milan
Posted by Cambodia - 17/09/2009
Six young men have returned to Cambodia, with memories but with a special trophy awarded for their bravery. They know that whilst they may not have won the Cup, they certainly won the hearts and minds of those who witnessed their bravery, courage and superb efforts in their second Homeless World Cup event.
Winning against Japan in the semi final saw these brave young men take on the more physically dominant players of the Belgium team at the final, but it did not intimidate these substantially smaller players.
Belgium lead the game, and in the second half Cambodia fought back from 7-1 down and goal keeper Viet Kung made impressive saves to keep them in the match. The final score was 8 - 5 to Belgium.
