Steely Swiss claim first crown

 

Debutants Switzerland were not at all troubled by the 60,000-plus hostile fans in Abuja’s hulking National Stadium, beating hosts and holders Nigeria 1-0 in the capital to hoist aloft the FIFA U-17 World Cup trophy on Sunday. The win, which came thanks to a steely defensive effort and a second-half header by Haris Seferovic, marks the first time a Swiss national team – any age, any gender – has ever laid claim to a FIFA title.

[color:blue]Peep! Peep! It's all over! Switzerland have held on and are world champions![/color] After victories against teams including Mexico, Brazil, Germany, Italy and Colombia, Switzerland – population 7.7 million – has beaten a country 20 times its size to become world champions!

 

This was an excellent performance and a fully deserved result!
