Yes this might sound very strange. But is true Scotland have won the World Cup for Football. Ok it was the Homeless Football World Cup.
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.
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. The Poland team 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.
And again, it was the Ghana team and players beating, singing and dancing out the most noise.
Next year, it's Melbourne.
So we hope that Elly can report back on next years championship.
