Champs Again?

Tomorrow is a big day for Scottish football.

Not only does the match against Georgia provide an opportunity to gain further points in the quest for qualification for the 2008 European Championships, it also gives Scotland a chance to be crowned Unofficial World Champions once more.

According to the records kept by the chaps over at UFWC, Georgia are the current Unofficial World Champions, having gained the honour by defeating Uruguay back in November 2006.

Scotland meanwhile are the top of the UFWC All-Time rankings, eleven points clear of England.

Should Scotland win tomorrow, in Alex McLeish's first game in charge, and regain the title they then face the prospect of playing the official World Champions, Italy, in a 'unification' match on Wednesday.

What is the UFWC? "The UFWC is an exciting international football competition contested in a simple boxing-style title system. Winners of title matches become title holders, and move up the rankings. UFWC history dates back to 1872, 58 years before the World Cup."
