Scotland are champions
Posted on 05/08/2007
Scotland have won the Homeless World Cup 2007, beating Poland in the final by nine goals to three.
The match was played before a capacity crowd in the Rådhuspladsen, Copenhagen's city square, marked by superb skill, fair play, 12 goals and over whelming focus, confidence and determination expressed by the Scottish side from the first whistle.
Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik presented the top trophy to a very wet Scottish team, not just from sweat, but from exuberant water bottle showers. And the team from Poland formed a guard of honour.
Amongst all the trophies and awards presented after the match, one of the biggest cheers went up for Brazil's Michele Silva, best female player of the tournament.
Next year, it's Melbourne.

Go on Scotland! If any of the players are reading this let me say I'm now comparatively very bored to how I felt for the whole of that tournament and particularly the decisive last 20 minutes!!!
Everyone one of you will last in my mind forever I'm sure of that. Thanks again fellas you were awesome.
