England crowned EliteLeague kings

England have won the EliteLeague after beating Brazil 2-0 at CSA England Stadium.

Goals from John Carey and CraiCo made sure England finished with a 6 wins, 1 draw record.

England skipper Daniel Perry, deputising for the injured Mark Strickland, lifted the EliteLeague trophy aloft as England claimed their second silverware under Marco Garibaldi.

Elsewhere, Germany won a 4-3 thriller against the Netherlands, which was marred by ugly scenes particularly one involving Germany's Guenther Hessler and Dutch player Aaron Wijnkamp, which saw midfielder Hessler spit in winger Wijnkamp's face. And Italy went away with the wooden spoon, and must play a World Cup play-off against Belgium next month, after losing 1-0 in Argentina coupled with France conjuring up a shock 1-1 draw in Spain.

Bengtsson header enough to beat Germany

Wednesday 26th March - Friendly
Ullevi Stadium, Gothenburg

Sweden captain John Bengtsson's towering header was enough to see his side beat Germany 1-0.

The towering Glasgow FC defender, 28, thumped home Magnus Andersson's corner.

The Germans couldn't get one past the Swedish defence, especially with 6'4" Bengtsson and 6'8" giant Stefan Andersson in the heart of it.

Scots draw 0-0 in Germany

Wednesday 6th February - Friendly

A dogged Scotland drew 0-0 with Germany in Berlin.

Tartan coach Angus McAllister will be happy with his side's defensive display - the Scots did not give the Germans a single chance.

Craig Borchers and John Jeffries gave German strike partnership Jurgen Braun and Sammy Schneider a hard time, with the Scottish centre-backs sniffed out every chance, showing why they'll be the major force for their nation in EuroCup 2008.

And there were times when Scotland could have almost won the game, Craig Wisniewski hitting the bar 10 minutes from time.

But the game ended scoreless and the Scots will be pleased as they continue to prepare for EuroCup 2008.
