Sierra Leone U15 football team FC Johansen player Issa Koroma, nicknamed 'Madam', wears his Mittnorden Cup silver medal as the team poses in Freetown, August 8, 2008. Striker Koroma scored the most goals of anyone at the Swedish youth cup, in which Sierra Leone was the first African country to compete in the competition's 27-year history. FC Johansen won silver at the tournament in Sweden, but were hailed as champions in their poor West African homeland, because they all came home. Sierra Leone is bottom of the U.N. development rankings and its athletes frequently vanish when travelling abroad for sporting fixtures in order to seek asylum, meaning many Western countries now simply refuse to let them in.
