Sweden came out victorious in tonight's World Cup final after beating England 6-1. Sweden effectively sealed the game taking a 2-0 lead as early as the 8th minute.

Tomas Månsson scored a Hattrick but perhaps the biggest heroes of the day were Tomas Sjösjö and Ulf "Opp" Johansson who both secured their third World Cups and on top of that also have a silver medal each.

Congratulations to Sweden and especially to the manager wilmerx!

Seems odd that the final ended was so one sided with Sweden winning 2-0 against England at the final group stage.

IIRC Sweden has three times more users, so that should translate into the result.

Strangely enough the English league is pretty small, it is one of the oldest but only has 10,000 players versus Sweden with 34,000.

They have expensive Internet access probably or just naturally frugal to pay for that kind of stuff. :)

Makes sense, Scotland is as old as Romania in the Hattrick world but still has a number of 225 players per 1,000,000 population compared to Romania’s 659/million. ;)

Scotland has only three users?

Huh?

225 players/million times 5 makes 1,125 players at a population of roughly 5 million.

Or do you believe that there are only 13,333 scots left in Scotland? ;)
