Football Comment: World Cup Tri-umph
KADEEM SIMMONDS on representing England in the Three-Sided World Cup in Denmark

The first ever Three-Sided World Cup was held on Saturday in Silkeborg Denmark where I was lucky enough to represent one of the England sides.

Played on a hexagonal pitch with three teams and three goals, the winner of three sided football is the team that concedes the least amount of goals after three rotations.

Instead of 11 players on each-side though, three-sided football is often played with smaller numbers and the World Cup was played with five players on each side with three substitutes allowed by each team.
