England win cerebral palsy World Cup for first time

The England cerebral palsy football team secured their inaugural World Cup title after a dramatic 2-1 victory against the United States. Following a late opening goal from the hosts in Atlanta, Sam Dewhirst leveled the score to force the match into extra time.

David Porcher then netted the decisive goal to clinch the trophy for the Para Lions. Head coach Jack Rutter expressed immense pride in the squad's historic achievement and the dedication shown by his players throughout the tournament.

This success follows a recent runner-up finish for the England powerchair team, who fell to France in their own World Cup final earlier in the week.
