England Cerebral Palsy World Cup win 'unbelievable'

England's Para Lions won the Cerebral Palsy World Cup for the first time, beating USA 2-1 in extra time in Atlanta with David Porcher scoring the winner.

England's Para Lions claimed their first Cerebral Palsy World Cup title with a 2-1 victory over hosts USA in extra time in Atlanta on Saturday night. The USA took a late lead from a corner with three minutes of normal time remaining, but England equalized in the second minute of added time before David Porcher, who came on as a substitute, fired home the winner early in extra time.

Harry Baker, who has represented England at more than 10 major competitions, said the triumph "hasn't really sunk in yet". "It's an unbelievable feeling to say that we're world champions," he said. "It's an amazing experience for us all and I can't really put it to words." Baker praised the squad's resilience after a tough year overcoming adversity.

England coach Jack Rutter said his team "showed great resilience" and that winning the World Cup for the first time in the sport's history was an "incredible moment in all of our lives".
