Recently in Hong Kong the unique chance to watch my first ever football ‘World Cup Final’ came up! With a difference of course… Basically as an alternative to the normal and four yearly World Cup, there is an Unofficial Football World Championship which happens on an ongoing basis. It runs on a simple system – similar to Boxing – if you beat the current champion you become the winner! It dates back to the first ever international between England and Scotland in 1872. England won that match and they would remain Unofficial Football World Champions until they were beaten. Over the years, there is a league table (Scotland currently lead). You get 1 point for a win when you play a World Champions Match and zero for a draw.
