Scotland Capture the Homeless World Cup

Ahhh the Homeless World Cup. It gives individuals a chance to reform their lives and nations that never win international competitions the opportunity to lift a trophy that looks like it was carved from a sidewalk. The winning side this year was Scotland. They spanked Poland 9-3 in a final played in Copenhagen.

Said David Duke, the coach of Scotland’s side and presumably not the racist American politician, of Scotland’s party plans.

“We are getting an open-top bus to go round Edinburgh. It’s going to be fantastic. When we get back some of the boys are going for further training. Andy Lannigan is going for his forklift licence and some of them are doing football coaching badges. Hopefully they can carry on from their success here.”

No better way to celebrate victory than to drive a forklift!

Scotland weren’t the only winners in the tournament. Fifteen players – seven from Burundi, four from Liberia, three from Cameroon and one from Afghanistan – have gone missing.
