As it says on the tin, no mention of Zemmama in the match report though. Atletico Mineiro probably didn't expect a 3-1 defeat either, especially with Ronaldinho in their side and now Raja have the chance to win the trophy against, erm Bayern Munich...

Really great result for a small footballing nation :aok: Mind you, ive just seen the highlights and giving Raja that penalty was as scandalous a decision as you'll ever see. I'd love to see them beat Bayern Munich in the final, maybe with a wee Zizou cameo at the end.

We won the unofficial version when the champions of scotland played a friendly vs the champions of England to become 'world champions' as it was the main two nations back then... And yes we beat preston north end!

On a side note though we were the first British club to take part in the world club championship.

I believe the title was the slightly more grandiose 'Champions of the World'.
