A late rally from Spain led them to victory in the West End Festival mini-football World Cup. Thanks to the ingeniously designed ‘moving goalposts of justice’, the trophy was always more likely to go to a country with a better social justice record. And Spain’s position at number 9 in the ‘Who Should I Cheer For?’ league table ensured them plenty of support, although there were strong challenges from Brazil and Cameroon.
Despite strong support on the day (who said Glaswegians would rather support anyone but…) England only managed a parlous 3 wins, hampered by their position at number 27, whilst the USA at number 31 only managed one win all day.
Now all we need is for FIFA to recognise the result…
